Weekly motivation - week 17 - Perspective

Perspective is everything. 

I have learned that people can look at exactly the same thing and see something totally different. 

The pessimist complains about the wind
The optimist expects it to change
The realist adjusts the sails - William A Ward

The wind is unchanged in all three views but the perspective in each changes. Sometimes, you need to look at life from another perspective in order to get through the day/week/month/hard time.

If you don't like the way something looks, change the way you look at it! Don't like your calves? Be thankful that you don't have cankles. Not so keen on the whiteness of your teeth? Do something about it - book in to have them professionally whitened. 

I like the words of Aaron Rose at this point:
"In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary"

So, if a simple adjustment in your perspective can change a life, what change can you make to turn your world around?
