PERSPECTIVE CHANGES EVERYTHING

Sometimes you just want to stand in the corner & stare out of the window. Now the problem is, when you don’t smoke, if you stand & stare out of the window on your own, you’re probably a loner, but if you stand & stare out of the window on your own with a cigarette, you’re a philosopher….

So the power of reframing things cannot be overstated.

What we go through is exactly the same thing, the same activity but one of them makes you feel great & the other one, with just a small change of posture, makes you feel sad.

So, Life is simply a matter of perspective. There are no facts, only interpretations…nothing is true everything is permitted.

The difference between you, the emotionally unstable you & the consistent you, often times is simply perspective.

I tell you a story –

A little boy came running to his mother & asked her, “What are you doing, mom”?

She replied – I am making a beautiful embroidery design on this cloth.

The little boy glanced at the piece of cloth & Complained.

“A design? All i can see is just some coloured threads – Yellow, Blue, Red, Black… all tangled up, messed up into each other.

All complications! & you call it a design?

The mother picked up the little boy on her lap & said – “Now look at this son”. (the other side of cloth).

That doesn’t mean you are wrong, you also have to see other’s perspective as well before coming to any conclusion.

When we go through helpless challenges in our life for no fault of our’s or no fault of anybody else & we cannot do anything to sort it out, if we see & look it from our point of view all we see is a mess, all we see are situations & events tangled up to create that mess, but when we look at the same situation from life’s point of view or from God’s point of view, we see a beautiful design, a pattern. a plan evolving in our lives. It’s all about the perspective & the optimism in it.

In fact, for a beautiful design of embroidery to happen on one side, you cannot avoid the mess on the other side & its not just the nature of embroidery such is the nature of life as well.

So, change your vision & your vision will change you!

“Life is all about perspective”
