The Concept of Life Filters

I want to talk with you about a thought I had this morning on the way to the gym. I tend to get in my head and look for ways I can bring you content that truly inspires, motivates, and educates you on your path to success. As I was driving, I asked myself, “How am I viewing life?” And I want to ask you the same question: how are you going through life?

I’m headed to an appointment right now, but I wanted to get this to you while it’s fresh. I believe all of us use filters—lenses we hold up to everything happening around us. Think of a camera filter or the filters you use on social media. They change what you see. The problem I notice is that most people either use the wrong filter or don’t realize they’re using one at all. They think they’re seeing life “as it is,” but they’re actually seeing life as it is through a filter.

‍

Identifying Negative Filters

Here’s what I mean. We all carry past experiences, beliefs, and stories. Without noticing, we add a filter of old self-image: “I’m not good at this. I always mess that up. This kind of thing never works out for me.” Or we add a filter of paranoia: “People can’t be trusted. Someone’s out to get me.” There’s the filter of disloyalty and distrust, where you expect betrayal. There’s the filter of selfishness—I lived there a long time—where the first question is, “What’s in it for me?” Every situation gets evaluated on that axis.

What we forget is that situations don’t have meaning until we give them meaning. We think we’re looking through a clear lens, but we’re unconsciously applying filters to everything in our lives.

And the number one filter many of us suffer from is scarcity—fear dressed up as logic. “There’s not enough for me. I never catch a break. Why is that person successful and I’m not? Why can’t I get the opportunities?” Scarcity is hardwired into us because we’re built to protect ourselves. But at some point, it’s time to change the filter on the camera lens of your life.

‍

Introducing Positive Filters

Start by intentionally choosing a different filter. The first one is gratitude. Are you looking at your life through a lens of gratitude? “I’m grateful to be alive. I’m grateful for my health, my relationships, the opportunities I have.” If your life feels like a hot mess right now, put on the gratitude filter and you’ll notice, “You know what? It’s not all bad. I’m still here. I have people who care about me. I have a chance to do something today.”

If you’re struggling to feel grateful, that’s your cue to practice it more. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Wayne Dyer’s words ring true here.

Another powerful filter is optimism. This lens says there’s always a silver lining, always an opening, always an angle. Add to that the lens of opportunity: train your eye to hunt for what’s useful in every challenge. Then there’s the learning filter: “Everything that happens to me can teach me something. This is happening for a reason that will ultimately benefit me.”

‍

Applying Compassion and Optimism

Try one more lens that can change your day in an instant: compassion. The next time you get a text that hits wrong, a snarky comment, a glare, or a jab in your DMs, apply compassion. Maybe that person is struggling. Maybe they’re hurting. Maybe they’ve never seen a positive lens modeled for them. You don’t know what someone else is carrying—and they don’t know you.

Here’s the bottom line. The “worst” that could happen if you choose lenses like gratitude, optimism, opportunity, learning, and compassion is that you go through life with rose-colored glasses—and you’re happier. Even if a situation isn’t ideal, you will feel better because, again, no event has meaning except the meaning you give it. You get to choose the meaning. You get to choose your lens.

Final Thoughts and Encouragement

That’s my message for you today. I hope it inspires and motivates you to be more intentional with the filter you’re using. Hit me up on The Daily Mastermind—Facebook or Instagram—and DM me. Tell me what you’re working on and where you’re struggling. We have a lot of resources, and remember: you’re the average of the people you surround yourself with, and that includes the voices you let in through podcasts and mentors. Choose your filter, choose your circle, and watch your world change.

Once again, this is George Wright III, and this has been The Daily Mastermind. Have a great day.
