CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE, CHANGE YOUR LIFE

An urn?

No, a teapot!

"Our perception of reality depends not only on our experience (what we're looking AT), but on the perspective through which we view the experience (where we're looking FROM).                                      ~~ Pamela Montgomery

Perspective Comes From:                     Developing a Balanced Perspective        

*Previous Experience                                      *Grow, travel, read, engage with community

*Temperament                                                 *Practice self-control, test your

     (Dramatic/Calm)                                           perceptions against those of others

*Attitude                                                             with a complimentary temperament

     (Positive/Negative)                                       and attitude.

*Sense of Agency                                            *Develop self-awareness. Ask a trusted

     (Empowered/Victim)                                     friend, “How do I come across: positive or

*Openness                                                         negative, empowered or victimized, open

*View of Self in the World                                  or close minded?” Make adjustments.

     (Self-Centeredness/Empathy)                     *Develop greater empathy for greater clarity

Again, it is ONLY when we learn to develop a more balanced perspective that what is "really real" is revealed to us. Then, we can build the foundations of our lives, relationships and decisions with clear vision rather than the clouded lenses of myopathy.
