Perspective is a concept that some people should think of more often. Something may seem a problem from one angle while with a change of perspective it could offer a great opportunity. In essence, perspective is what distinguishes people from each other. All the influencing factors in one’s life, before and after, come together to form their perspective at that point in time and space. The concept of perspective in a way incorporates all possible viewpoints. And while it is impossible for one person to succeed at completely understanding somebody else’s point of view, the most powerful thing one can do in life is to influence and control one’s own.
The question for most people is how to accomplish it. How can somebody possibly turn something negative into something positive?
The solution to such problems lies down the same path as finding enlightenment. It is easy to tell somebody to see the opportunity in failure or even to tell oneself. The difficulty lies in believing it, in actually having that conviction. Too often one can convince oneself superficially. However, real and hidden beliefs may be the opposite. It is changing and reshaping these that poses the real challenge. By training the mind’s flexibility and freeing it from the ruts it digs for itself one can achieve the means to change the perspective like a set of clothes.
Some people may argue that this perspective is what forms who we are and that by freeing yourself from it you would destroy your personality. But far from it; the freedom of an unshackled mind presents the opportunity for a person to display all the traits that make one feel inherently happy. And these traits are the ones that one could describe as goodness under the guise of morality.
To change one’s perspective to a positive vantage point allows one to concentrate what one wants to concentrate on. No more dealing with unwelcome issues, no more trying to solve burdening problems. In the light of opportunity and the positive you will find new energy to achieve what is important to you in life.
