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 ...

There’s a story behind every smile.

There’s a story behind every smile. An expression that is used to indicate ‘pleasure or amusement’, something that can be expressed in many ways by an individual and perceived and understood in many different ways by another. It is a simple gesture that has so many different meanings, a simple gesture that is so diverse and beautiful. There is a reason that every smile has been expressed, whether it’s in conversation with the presence of people or expressed intrinsically. The value is unique to the individual, whether it is laughing at a joke or smiling at a loved ones actions. Every smile is unique, both to the individual and to the world. A smile indicates an emotion, something that can only be completely felt by the beholder. It can be acknowledged similarly to the original emotion by an external empathetic source, yet fully understood by the beholder. Life is full of motorways where everybody is going in the same direction or a roundabout where people group off into di...

Growth

Even if you’re not ready, the world isn’t going to go in standstill and wait for you to catch up. It’s going to keep moving forward, you can’t pause time and hope that eventually you’ll be in the right place at the ‘right’ time. Say life’s a game, and you’re playing on beginner level when you have the ability to go above and beyond and tackle the expert level. Do you really have the motivation to continually succeed in your comfort zone but never improve?  Is that really winning? I know I’d rather play the game on expert level and fail numerous times before I succeed. I believe in myself and my dedication that I can achieve whatever is put in front of me. Why? Because that’s the kind of person I want to be. I want to be the kind of person who wants to learn, the kind of person to take any opportunity to develop themselves to make themselves the best possible version of them in that moment of time. Life is ongoing, it continuously moves forward. You need to be willing to take...
