All About Perspective

It can be very difficult to prevent feeling bogged down by the ups and down of life. Everything can be going just fine one minute and then life throws you a curve ball. I've learned the importance of keeping things in perspective. I am not speaking about your personal point of view, I am referring to the true understanding of the relative importance of things. Anyone can do this, and it involves only a few steps! Be open minded! Take your time and objectively weigh the pros and cons, educate yourself before you assume, talk to people who know first hand, and finally consider what's best for you.

Things happen all the time. That's how life has been and that's how it will always be. The question is how will you allow your circumstances to affect you? Positively or negatively? When I feel overwhelmed with decisions that I must make I often ask myself, "am I looking at this from the correct perspective?" If my answer is yes, I can comfortably move on to the next step in my problem solving activity. The more you hone this skill the easier problem solving becomes. It is a very powerful tool in business and in life.

I recommend you try it, see if it makes a difference in your life and your business. For those of you who may be afraid to take chances, the next time you feel the urge to pass up an opportunity that is presented to you, do yourself a favor, make sure that you take some time to examine it from the right perspective before making a decision against something. The opportunity might just be worth the risk. Look at it this way, ultimately the decision is yours, so why not make it a thoughtful one? You may see it as small carefully thought out decisions, however, this alteration in your decision making process could change your life! It can become the determining factor in the success of your career, personal life or business!
