About This Quote

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. This quote is about the power of the mind. The mind is a very powerful tool. It can see much or it can not see anything at all.

The mind also has a great deal of power over how we perceive things, which is why we often choose not to look at things that might upset us. In the same way, we often don’t even allow ourselves to see that life could be better than it currently is. Sometimes it isn’t until we take the time to look around and take a good long look that we realize how our lives could be so much greater than what they are now.
