Change your Perspective it may Change your Life!
Stuck in a rut? We have all been there. How do you get out of it? Do you move? Change jobs? What do you do?
All you need to do to get out of a rut is to change your perspective. Change how you look at things. It may just change your life.
Have you ever seen the arrow in the FedEx logo? Have you? Look. Do you see it now? If you do see it how long have you looked at the FedEx logo before you saw it. Did they change their logo? Was it there on purpose?
Still don’t see it? I will let you in on it at the end of the article. You have to read the rest first.
Changing your perspective is not an easy thing to do at first. It is very difficult to change your views and thoughts on things, especially if they have been that way for a long time.
To hone your skills try this. Go for a nature walk and look at the things around you. Don’t label them. Don’t say look at that Cardinal. Instead say look at the pretty red bird. It sounds a little silly especially to a science and math person, but without labeling things they begin to take on a whole new perspective. Try it, you may be surprised.
Try this: Close your eyes and listen. OK first turn off the radio and the TV and try again. Close your eyes and listen. Try to pick out the different sounds. Do you hear anything differently? Do your surroundings change. Did you hear that highway in the distance before? Did you hear the motor of your refrigerator running. Maybe you went outside and closed your eyes. Could you hear the breeze in the trees? Did things look differently when you opened your eyes?
As your perspective changes you will begin to see that what you really want and what you really need you probably already have. You probably never noticed it before, but it is right there for you. Do you want a better job? With a new perspective you probably realize that it is near by, or maybe available in your office right now. Do you think you need to buy a new car, or is the one that you have just in need of a little TLC?
Changing perspective can be fun and enlightening, give it a try you will probably surprise yourself on what you see.
Oh the FedEx arrow; look at the white space between the E and the X.
