We see what we want to see, meaning what we choose to see.

It is true, our minds unconsciously show us what we want to see. When asked, many criminals will be able to give you a reason to justify their crimes (revenge, messed up childhood,...) and they believe they were in the right when they committed their crimes.
To be close to the truth, we need to be able to put ourselves in others' shoes, by looking objectively from a different perspective, and by changing your position to look from different angles. We need to be able to question ourselves and be less scared to be wrong. If we are right, be proud of it; if you are wrong, own it!

Indeed if we look for things to be grateful, we will find plenty of them around us. If we are constantly unhappy and sad, we will find that the grass is greener only on the other side.

Skepticism and pessimism is a terrible trait. If only we know how powerful our thoughts are, we will channel that energy to think more positively. Just like when God told Abraham, "as far as your eyes can see, that will be yours and for your generations." To be honest, I do not befriend pessimistic people. I surround myself with positive thinking individuals that are full of hope and optimism. Energy can rub off on you easily, so I choose positivity always.

Life can be so cruel sometimes, actually most times. I believe in the power of the mind. A lot of great inventions today started from the mind. We have been blessed to have a pictorial imagination, so vivid and active that we can literally use it to control the universe. Truly we see what we want to see.
