Life is all about perspectives, care to change it?

Life is all about perspectives, care to change it?

Read this beautiful example of acknowledging, the simple number 6. When this number is drawn on a sheet of paper or the floor, what does this look like to a person viewing from either side?

It would not be acknowledged as a “reverse 6” but would be as a 9. Strange (although this is the perspective from ages) but it is true that it is indeed a 9.

Who is right and who is wrong? Obviously, they both are right yet they both are wrong in the eyes of another individual because of the viewing perspective.

If people simply understand that life’s perspective can be changed, modified, and explained, the world can be a better place for all for sure.?We can already visualize that there would be an end to fights, wars, daily quarrels, and much more. The only requirement is to see things from another person’s perspective.

Let’s do a quick check on what perspective means.?

There are a lot of strong debates around politics, relationships, and anything that has two sides to the story also called binary thinking. Social media makes it easy to pick a side and find opinions that line up with what you believe.

If you are on the neutral side, you can see that both sides of this argument have concrete reasons to support their answers. All choices suddenly start seeming right. While one side sees life from the perspective of “anything goes as long as it makes you happy,” another side sees life as “there are?boundaries?you should not cross.” Already seeing 2 perspectives?

Any guesses why we need to see things differently? To satisfy our ego? Or to say you are right always? Or …

Your perspective on life determines how you relate?to people, how you handle relationships and troubles, and how you live day-to-day. You may not realize how important your perspective on life is because we often feel that as long as other people’s opinions and decisions do not affect us, ours should not affect other people. Going back to the 6 and 9 analogy we began with, what we also have are two different scenarios that can play out here.

Perspective matters? Yes, it does…

Your perspective on life can either make or break a relationship.

If you have a bad or negative perspective on life, it affects everything and everyone around you negatively. You find yourself constantly being angry and not being able to accept other people’s perspectives. Other times, you find yourself complaining and stressing over things that simply require a small shift in your perspective.

Let me ask you if you, if you have ever questioned yourself any of the mentioned below.

1.??????Ever thought about what you want??Most of the people around get so much involved in the needs and wants of others, that they fail to check their own.

2.??????Does this perspective prevent me from abundance, happiness, and peace??

3.??????Has this perspective ever cost me? What have I missed out on because of this perspective?? These questions speak to whether you’re clinging to negative,?limiting perspectives that have led you to decline positive opportunities (or make unhealthy decisions). Because if a perspective is poisoning your life, why are you holding onto it?

4.??????If I were twice as strong and twice as confident, what decision would I make??

5.??????What am I grateful for at this moment?

6.??????Does this perspective belong to someone else??Do I want to adopt it myself??

7.??????What would my mentor or hero do in this case? What would be his/her perspective??

8.??????What can I learn from this?

9.??????Is this perspective in alignment with what I want in my life??

10.???Reflect on what you want your life and your days to look like. Does your mindset match these desires and dreams? Does your mindset match these specific images?

Don’t you think, just imagining these, is helping you realize that, you won’t be in this predicament forever, but start writing your own story by peddling away the roadblocks??

Now, shall we find out some ways to change at least, some of our perspectives towards life?

1.??????Stop complaining!! Whenever you feel like complaining, fold your thumb, bite your tongue, do something, and make sure it stops you from letting out that complaint. When you stay silent and listen, you can start seeing things from different perspectives.

When you are constantly brooding and thinking negatively, your perspective will never change, and soon all that negativity will begin to spread around you like wildfire. Staying positive can be challenging at first but will ease with time.

1.??????Find out, what makes you happy- A happy person is more understanding with a clear vision of things.?Happiness adds positivity to life. Seek happiness if it is not coming your way naturally to clear the fog.

2.??????Reduce the Social Media Clings – Often at times on social media, people will post a thing and followers will take on a different perspective regarding its meaning. Responding to critical or negative posts with a sense of maturity and lightheartedness will lessen any vitriol spills and keeps anyone from receiving blocks.

3.??????Keep Your Head Up - You may have heard someone explaining why something was not meant for them by talking about how it didn’t come naturally. This perspective cripples the ability of many to reach their full potential.

In this case, there are people who would see things from a positive perspective. They see failure as a sign that their approach was wrong, not as a sign they were wrong. As a result, they will regularly try new things until they achieve their goal.

4.??????Change Negative Perspective from the Inside-Out - For you to change your perspective about negative events in your life, you first need to change?the way you talk to yourself. What you say to yourself regularly will have an impact on the actions you take.

5.??????Stay Away from Negativity - By continuing to interpret events negatively due to negative self-talk, you will continue to produce undesired results.

6.??????Focus on What Matters - Your brain can only focus on so many things each day.?As a result, your mind will automatically filter out information it believes is unimportant to you.

7.??????Focus on the Needs of Others -The final way to change life’s perspective is to help others. An amazing thing will happen when you spend more time focusing on the needs of others.

The beautiful thing about perspective is that it is subject to change. It is not static, and the decision to alter it rests with you. It also gives you a lot more?reasons to be grateful and happy. If you live a life where you are constantly showing gratitude and being happy, then you have lived a fulfilled life.
