Have you ever tried looking at something from a different point of view?
Your perspective on how you look at things can define your outlook and understanding.
You may see something and be sure you are right, whereas someone else could look at the same thing from a different view and they think they are right.
A great example is looking at an actual object from two different sides. If a ball was placed between two people, half red and half blue, you would only see the colour you were looking at. Both people can argue for a long time to say they were right about the colour of the ball. Although they would be both right in their own view, they hadn’t looked at the whole picture, therefore they were both wrong.
You may see a situation as a failure or have negative views on it, whereas someone else may see where improvements can be made and be more positive about the result.
How does using perspective help?
- develop a better understanding of things
- see a problem or challenge from different angles
- to evaluate the importance of something
- to let go of judgements and focus on facts
- to see the strengths/weaknesses, positive/negative
- to react with thought rather than on impulse
Next time someone questions your opinion, just take a moment and try and see from their point of view.
