Perspective in life is everything. Dire straights can instantly shift to divine intervention when you spin your perspective. What once was high-flying positive emotion can be crushed in an instant when your perspective all of a sudden goes the other direction. Recently in my life perspective has been either the savior or the de-motivator. I found myself asking why that is…why can’t you always see the good – the positive perspective. Well, the answer is you can. Your perspective on perspective itself limits your results! Trippy huh? 
Your perspective is completely up to you. It is never determined by your friends, your boss, neighbor, or co-workers. Your perspective is entirely under your control and the perspective your friends have is entirely up to their control. If you think about it, the thoughts and perspectives one might have can be entirely opposite to someone else’s. There are certain skills people can use to help one see another perspective but we will save that subject for another day.
Positive and negative emotions within the subconscious mind are unbiased but incongruent. The presence of one always equals the absence of the other. They both do not and cannot share the same space. The day I realized I had the power to decide what emotions were present was the day I became a new person. It is easy to fall into a trap of believing you lack the power to change this. Your emotions alter your perspective and change the way you act in life. The perspectives you have dictate your behaviors and the behaviors alter your results.
Today I vow to take a step back and look at the emotion behind my perspective and decide if that is the perspective that gives me the most positive outcome. Can I see this situation from all perspectives? What emotion is present? What would I like to see and believe in my perspective? And finally, what emotion do I really want? When I answer these questions I find peace and positive perspectives in even the most difficult situations. Being resourceful in these moments of crisis and catastrophe are really what define today’s world leaders. Life is never without trials, difficult moments, and stress – but life always contains perspectives which can provide the solution or the continuation of a problem.
I thought I should share this breakthrough and hope that you too can gain power over your perspective and find true resourcefulness when you need it most.
