8 - Alexis A: Putting Things in Perspective


Life is about perspective. There is always an easy way to go about everything that we encounter. One way can seem to move us forward instantly. But, sometimes it's not the most practical way. Perspective pushes us in the right direction.


Perspective challenges our focus more than anything else. There’s never one way to accomplish something. Yet, we are so focused on getting what we want or something is done that our attention is driven by this point of view. Perspective is more impactful than that. Despite being something we see, it reflects what we are truly looking for. A change in perspective changes our experience. It allows us to see more about things for what they are than what we want to see.


A small change in perspective goes a long way in life. As simple as taking the advice of another person. Someone telling you the harsh truth rather than sugar-coating it. Walking into the shoes of a misunderstood, fictional character. Whether good or bad, these are simply different perspectives. Being close-minded takes away from our ways of living. Our paths are created by always keeping things in perspective. They come and go, but that's all it takes to see something in a new light. We reap the benefits by wanting to create change with just tiny adjustments. Our focus in life should be a matter of perspective.


Perspective captures how we see the world. It is what we choose to focus on that acts as a lens. Perspective is not about seeing something one way or another but how we let it guide us through life.

  1. I loved this blog. You did so great on it. I love the part about walking in the shoes of a fictional character that is such a cool way to think of perspective. Great job!
