Follow on Google News | A particular way of regarding something“Change perspective,” said a valued friend. But what does that mean exactly? The dictionary definition states: ‘a particular way of regarding something’.
By: Wisdom-and-Philosophy.com So basically it is your response to life. That could be at a guess between a third and a half of your life. So as a consequence your perspective has both relevance and importance beyond most people’s previous comprehension. Change perspective! Sometimes, and I’ve witnessed it with many people, by the age of 30 you think you’ve got life sussed out. Your morals and principles are in place, they’ve been tested and proved right; so the obvious progression is to stand firm and remain with those views for the rest of your life. That’s okay if you don’t get problems, but generally speaking the older you get the more complex the problems become. So in light of this we need to be prepared to ‘add’ a new perspective. If a new perspective doesn’t arise when it is needed, commit to accepting that a new one would be valued at that moment. Reserve judgment on what you need to consider and ALLOW a new perspective to arise. It is likely to arrive within 24 hours, but don’t strain trying to find it. Your subconscious mind will present it to you, you’ll just need to spot the moment it does and ‘go with it’. It maybe at an inconvenient moment, but excuse yourself from what ever you are doing. Jot the thoughts down and then return to your business; don’t immediately try to wrestle with the observation, you can review the thought pattern again later. You’ll be surprised how simple ‘adding’ this new perspective is, yet it covers the complex problem with ease. Allow me to explain this process with an example… More often than not when an emotional situation arises in your life you’ll respond there and then. You may regret your reaction and suffer the consequences. Yet a few days later, upon reflecting, a superior approach arises and you’d wish that this solution could have been used instead. So it would appear that we have the capacity to find a new perspective but it arrives too late to apply. The speed of the answer is determined by which emotion we reside within. If we are happy we have a greater capacity for solution. If we are upset, angry or frustrated the ability to activate a resolution is taken from our grasp. The reason for having the word ALLOW in capitals is to instigate a change of emotion, from being frustrated to being calm and collected. If, when you are angry, I said, “ALLOW yourself to calm down,” you’d respond in no uncertain terms that I should push off. Anger, as one illustration of a negative emotion, limits your process of thought. To conclude therefore we need to ‘add’ new perspectives from the age of ten to the age of one hundred and ten. We must ALLOW time for a new perspective to arise. Most of the time a difficult situation arrives we think that an instant decision is needed. Delay a decision if possible overnight, as our emotional balance will go through many changes. Here are two viewpoints worth remembering; QUOTE: "It has been said that our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its strength." (Charles Haddon Spurgeon, 1834-1892, Preacher) QUOTE: “Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come." (Og Mandino, 1923-1996) Onto a story of illustration… Here is a new perspective on an old subject… TWO KINDS OF LEGACY When you die, your possessions will be distributed according to a will in which you allocated property to specific people. Objects left in a will are called a legacy. But "legacy" also has a much deeper meaning. In Jewish tradition, people write "ethical wills" in which they pass on to the next generation, especially their children, the gift of wisdom and good wishes. This legacy is far more profound and permanent than bequests of property. An ethical will is often a personal letter to the most important people in our lives. It conveys our values, convictions and hopes. An ethical will is also an autobiography - not of events and dates, but of the insights and intuitions that define who we are and tell the world what we stand for and what we think is important. These documents provide a priceless and prized source of loving advice and can become treasured family heirlooms. Because they are about ethics, they also can become a moral compass that helps loved ones navigate their way to worthy and happy lives. Yet no matter how highly cherished these letters can be for those who receive them, the process of writing them can change your perspective and cause you to readjust your own priorities. What would you put in your ethical will? When you can, begin writing down everything you might want to pass on to the people you love. But know this: Once you start, it will be hard to stop as you'll experience a surge of thoughts that will engulf you with all the subconscious beliefs that make you who you are and what you will be. According to Socrates, the touchstone of wisdom is to first know thyself. Try it, and you'll see why.
