Step back and find a new perspective

After you have tried all you can to change the situation of things around you, trying to change your perspective can be a not too obvious way of changing things around you. Turn things upside down a little bit and see how it looks from another angle. Look at that failed relationship from another angle and you might just realize how happy you are without him or her, look at the termination of that job from another angle and you might realize you have been in a box for too long. Perspective is the reason why two people who are going through the same issue, don't feel the same way, the reason why some people are happier than others. I recently saw a movie about a coach of a running team motivating his runners and he said to them " when your running up that hill and going through so much pain, about to quit, remember the guy in front of you is going through a whole lot of pain and who ever gets to the finish line is who is strong enough to bear that pain. Their perspective changed after that and they were ready to go through the pain with a smile on their face. Change your perspective and everything around you begins to change, Sometimes you cant change the things happening around you, but for sure one thing you can change is how you feel about them. Life is all about addition and also subtraction. We are happy when something new happens to us, a new car, a new house, a new spouse, a new job, a new business opportunity, we all want the additions of life. What if all we need to do to be happy is subtract, let go off that job and relationship that don’t serve you, let go off those friends that don’t add value to us, let go off that bad habit that is doing more harm than good, we can all try another perspective. Change your perspective, Change your world…
