How do you perceive situations?

In the picture here you can see a Rainbow Lorikeet.

I LOVE them! I think they’re beautiful and colourful and I love to sit and watch them as they feed from the flowers outside my bedroom window.

I know many people who hate these birds because they are noisy – but so what?! They only come around first thing in the morning (the best time of the day!) and just before it gets dark and then they’re gone.

I suppose again I’m talking about perception. I perceive these gorgeous birds to be a positive thing and whenever they’re around I feel grateful that I have native trees around my house to attract them.

Someone who perceives them as negative is likely to wake up grumpy and annoyed because these birds have woken them up.

Who is going to have the better day??
