Unlike physical vision which some people are fortunate to have 20/20 vision & not have to wear lenses in life, lens are required for mental vision. People can choose to have negativity lens & assume negative intentions when meeting people, negative mentalities when going through situations, and just a negative outlook on life. Or people can have positivity lens that are fake & harmful – a lens that enables people to only see the positive in the situations & themselves, and to neglect areas of improvement or harsh realities of a particular situation. The key is to have real positivity lens that enable one to see the truth in themselves & situations, and then choose to have an optimistic, self-improvement attitude on that truth. That lens is so difficult to obtain, but it is possible for everyone to get through practice & meaningful intention. In order to tackle situations in life most productively & become the best version of one’s self, someone needs that lens! To you reading this, stay committed to acquire it.

Peace, Love, & Positivity!
