I just finished a fabulous book on perspective, tons of other genuinly helpful principles as well- but the former being the bulk of the material. It was chalenging to be inspired to re-create and change certain things about my life without tangible objects. You know- doing away with the "if I had this car," "house," "motorized toothbrush," "perfect job oppurtunity" I would be happier notions. Not looking for the oppurtunitys that we already have access too-
Another thing I loved regarding this knowledge on perspective was that it wasn't a cheesy motivational message about how "You could create your perfect life." It understood the messy, it understood the questions and confusion at every age-it just challenges a mental control of ones life by grasping what was going on with your own in several lights. There is no recipe for life because every one has such different perspectives. I challenge this idea to my friends my clients and family because its caused me to think. Its caused me to focus on the vastly enriching things at the reach of my fingertips. This game of perspective change is like our own personal rubicube. Few of us with ever perfectly nor quickly figure it out but changing around the colors can help us feel like we have a bit better grasp on it.
Be Well-
