Perspective

Today has been a little humbling, with some much needed perspective being indirectly provided.

Sometimes we get so caught our own worlds. Focused on the issues in our own little rat race that we lose sight of the importance of what we do have.

Perspective is needed to keep on track emotionally.

It’s not that we must feel grateful (or put a positive spin) for everything in our lives, good or bad. Using perspective, we turn down the amplification of items that may not be going well so we are no longer overwhelmed by them.

Remaining focused on what’s possible to solve our issues, freeing us to take action instead of being paralysed when we catastrophise the scenario.
