Perspective


Perspective

“The point of view in which you see a situation from”

“A particular attitude towards or way of regarding something”

“A point of view”

“The way you interpret a situation”

The definition in itself suggests that we look at things differently, although allowing for the potential of similarities. We all look at things differently; we all have different ways of perceiving things, different personalities and values that suggest diversity.

Everything in this world has meaning if it’s approached by diverse perspective. A perspective can be changed, developed or influenced. Understanding that no matter what, life continues to progress and move forward. We don’t go back in time, it’s a continuous journey. Forward, it’s a progression, a progression that is always going to be positive.  

Positivity is a choice, whether that’s in mood, relationships or conflicts. Positivity can be reached if the perspective is altered to achieve the desired outcome.

Life is a process of making decisions, making a decision should be met with the question ‘what kind of person do I want to be?’ Whether that is your action or your reaction, your next step is your decision. How do you want to influence the situation, the task or the person? Remembering that your words and your actions will inevitably affect the way you are perceived and the way you perceive the situation.

Every situation in life proposes the opportunity for different outcomes; use the metaphor of a door for example.

Are you open or are you closed? Do you tackle situations with an open mind? Do you allow yourself to gather a more rounded perspective of a situation and consider other people’s point of view? Or do you enforce your individual thought track on a situation and close off the possibility for a solution?

It’s a choice.

Do you have a window? Do you consider how others see you? Do you want to see the world with transparency? Or do you block it out?

It’s a choice.

Do you have a doorbell? Do you allow the opportunity for people to call on you if they need you? Will you answer the door regardless of the situation? Or will you leave them knocking?

It’s a choice.

Positivity is a  choice, positivity is a perspective.

Senses

Breathe, take a step back and open your eyes; open your ears, open your soul and most importantly open your heart. Open your heart to possibilities, to yourself and to others. Don’t rush just consider, consider what’s important to you; consider what makes you, you. Look, gain a 360 degree perspective of yourself, your soul, your being and let it guide your actions and most importantly let it guide your vision. When you look forward what do you see? Do you see progression or do you see yourself stationary? Listen to the sound of your heartbeat beating in your chest when you experience true happiness, the rush of what it means to be alive. Allow yourself to listen to your own thoughts, to your own feelings and take action. Learn to listen to prioritise what’s important to you and your being. Smell so you can remember, scent is the most powerful memory trigger. Remember what it is that allows you to wake up in the morning, brush your teeth and put your shoes on to walk outside ...

Marcienne

I found myself when I found these people. I understood what it truly means to be human, to be connected and to love someone purely because of their existence. They’ve allowed me to wake up every single morning and ask myself what’s really important. From a country of complete conflict, hate, discrimination and violence where in the space of 100 days, one million people were violently slaughtered due to their ethnicity, I now see a country functioning on nothing but love, hope and respect for each other with the primary focus of creating a pathway to societal progress which fundamentally functions based on community. Four years ago I was fortunate enough to meet a 90 year old woman named Marcienne, who in 1994 witnessed the slaughter of five of her children and the love of her life. Along with thousands of people still living with the trauma of the genocide today, she has nothing but love to give. Imagine walking into a community to be greeted by groups of people just thankful for ...

The Jigsaw Puzzle

Learn to sit back and take a look at the bigger picture. The picture is made up of thousands of different pigments, different colours, different thoughts and different meanings. The ‘bigger picture’ is essentially creating a collage of individual and contrasting images that work inclusively to represent something bigger, your world. Essentially life is like a jigsaw puzzle, where each piece represents unique and meaningful factors that interlink and connect to one another in a constant network of emotions that link an individual’s values to their actions in parallel to their reactions. Understanding what is important in your life is imperative in guiding your actions, working as a connecting piece from your internal thoughts to your external responses maintaining a healthy equilibrium.   Your three dimensional being inclusive of your values, actions and reactions contribute to the jigsaw yet are not isolated in its making. If they say life is about the bigger picture than fa...
