“It’s not what is taken from you that counts, but what you sow with what’s left.” – Pat Mesiti.
Perspective is how you view things. It is often referred to as a “point of view” that changes depending on where you stand and what you are looking at. Where you stand determines what you see. Differences in perspective may be also be due to your level of involvement, experience and position on a matter. In other cases, emotions, values, principles and influence affect your perspective of things as well.
Your perspective affects the way you respond to problems and challenges in life. Oftentimes, there is more than one perspective to a situation. Negative perspectives are limiting while positive ones are enabling.
If you take a negative perspective in a situation, chances are that your actions will be negative and will produce undesirable results as well. On the other hand, a positive perspective enables you to see the brighter side of things and explore more options to fix your situation.
When dealing with another person, viewing the situation through the other person’s eyes will greatly help in resolving conflict or arriving at a peaceful solution.
People generally experience similar challenges in life such as losing weight, starting a business or going through a difficult phase in a relationship. Some pass these challenges with flying colours while others fail to show visible signs of progress.
The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is often in perspective. When difficulties strike, you have a choice between breaking away from the downward spiral and sinking further.
While the size of a challenge may vary among persons, ultimately, it is how you respond to it that leads to success or failure. Regardless of what you are going through,to emerge a better person, you have to adopt the right perspective in life!
