Perspective

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change". -Wayne Dyer

What are you settling for in life?

What are you getting out of that?

Often people hold the view that what’s going on in their life, or in other words their circumstances, dictate how life goes for them. I’d like to pose another way to look at it. Your perspective about your situation actually creates your experience of life.

Everyone has a different perspective, each one valid and valuable. Consider how life would be different if you truly allowed new perspectives to inform your experience of life, giving you the gift of seeing something new for yourself.

You may not be able to immediately change your circumstances, yet you CAN change how you relate to them, and in turn they tend to change. Every “problem”, every breakdown, has a huge opportunity for growth nestled within it.

I challenge you to look at things in your life from a different perspective this week. Put yourself in other people’s shoes and consider how they might view the same situation. What new possibilities do you see?
