Seeing Through Pink Sunglasses: How a Shift in Vision Can Change Your WorldWhat if every day could feel like a birthday? What if each moment were a new beginning—ripe with blessing, beauty, and boundless potential?Welcome to the Power of Imagination. I'm Mr. Twenty Twenty, and today, I want to share a little story, a little philosophy, and a powerful idea that might just shift how you see the world. Literally.The Birth of the Pink Sunglasses ProjectIt started years ago with a crazy idea. I bought a dozen pairs of pink sunglasses. Not because I needed them, not for fashion, and definitely not for practicality.Nope. I became the “Pink Sunglasses Guy.”Why?Breast awareness. Now, hold on—before your mind runs wild, let me explain. I’m not talking about breast cancer awareness. I’m not interested in the disease. I'm interested in beauty. I'm interested in how we see.Because when I see beauty—real beauty—I am loving. And that's what I’m truly interested in: seeing the world through the lens of love instead of lust, gratitude instead of greed, presence instead of projection.I told people: "This isn’t about disease. It’s about awareness. It's about seeing beauty, honoring it, and letting that shift how you move through life."The Pete the Cat ConnectionDuring a recent chat, a woman told me her son wore blue sunglasses after reading Pete the Cat. “When you put on blue sunglasses,” she said, “you see the world in a whole new way.”That lit a fire in me again.What if we all wore blue or pink sunglasses? What if we chose to see the world—not through judgment, not through fear, not through the lens of lack—but through play, love, imagination?What if pink sunglasses weren’t just a silly prop, but a symbol—a daily reminder to see the divine in the everyday?From Lust to LoveHere’s the thing: most people go through life lusting after things. And I’m not just talking about physical lust. I’m talking about the kind of restless desire that says:“I’ll be happy when...”“Once I have this, then I’ll feel that...”“I can’t be okay until...”Lust leads to longing. Longing leads to lack. Lack leads to loops.What if, instead, we chose to see through a different lens?What if we looked at the world and saw beauty instead of deficiency?What if we gave life to the lovely in every moment?A Divine Shift in PerspectiveHere’s what I believe: your desires are divine. They’re gifts from God. And you—you are how God experiences the adventure of a lifetime.When you see beauty, when you appreciate what is, instead of lusting for what might be, you step into your power. You remember who you are.You stop choosing mediocrity. You start choosing magic.Your Homework (Yes, Really)Take a walk today. Bonus points if you do it barefoot.As you walk, imagine lovingly for every person you pass—and everyone who pops into your mind. No fixing. No pity. Just love.See them through the pink glasses. Through the blue glasses. Through the lens of love.Lift them up. Bless them. Imagine the best for them.Because that’s how the blessing boomerangs back to you.Final Thoughts from the PorchAs I sit here, Victoria off on sibling weekend, and the sniffles doing their thing, I’m just grateful.Grateful for you. Grateful for this message. Grateful for the dozen pink sunglasses I once handed out that sparked a dozen deep conversations.And yeah, some folks got offended. That’s okay. Some people choose offense like others choose outfits.But most of all, I’m grateful for the reminder that how you see is determined by how you be.So be loving. Be bold. Be beautiful.Wear the damn pink sunglasses.
