“Most misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if people would simply take the time to ask, “What else could this mean?”
“It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.”
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns or rejoice because thorns have roses.”
“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”
Perspective is your attitude or your way of thinking, seeing, or hearing! We all have perspective. And sometimes we all need to move around and learn to change our perspective. We can also have a perspective with fluidity to frame growth and change. Often, we can’t change what we are looking at, but we can change our stance and how we see it! And often, as we have most recently experience, we can’t change what is happening around us.
It is always the time to stand back and pause your point of view, take a breath with an attitude of change, and actively engage the points of view of others. A change of perspective is the path to positive and inclusive change. A slight change in attitude can dramatically shift your perspective! Try to change where you stand and embrace a new perspective!
