Everyone has their own perception of the world, but very few share others perspectives. Oftentimes we go about our lives only living in our own perceptions and through struggle attempt to bring others into our perception of it. As we have spoken about often on this podcast it is extremely difficult, arguably impossible, to force anyone to think a certain way without allowing them to draw their own conclusions. A more productive method is seeking to gain others perspective.
Perspectives can be found within ourselves in what we believe and also in others. Both ways need to be found through reflecting and being curious as to why something is. By reflecting on our thoughts, actions, and behaviors, we can begin to understand our own perspective. Additionally and more important than our own, we can reflect and ask questions to begin to understand another's. By seeking this understanding of another we can create more productive relationships in all facets of life
Getting out of our perception is a difficult task in our fast paced highly addictive lives. It is only through disconnecting, pausing, and reflecting we can begin to ask those deeper questions. Deeper questions seeking to understand others point of view and also for our own purpose. As you listen this week, remember to find ways to bring more presence in your own life. From this stillness you truly are available to gain more perspective.
