About this Quote

This quote by Audre Lorde talks to the power of viewpoint. The quality of light we utilize to analyze our lives has a direct influence on the lives we lead and the changes we wish to make. It suggests that if we view our lives through a lens of positivity and optimism, we will be more likely to make meaningful changes and create a life that is fulfilling and rewarding. On the other hand, if we view our lives through a lens of negativity and pessimism, we will be less likely to make meaningful modifications and produce a life that is significant and gratifying. This quote encourages us to be conscious of the quality of light we utilize to examine our lives, as it has a direct bearing on the product of our lives and the modifications we intend to produce.
