Peeking in the window

 

Something that I found as an interesting concept. Imagine you walk up to a house. Every room of the house has a window. As you approach, you want to find out what is happening inside the house. What is up? What is going on with this family? What do they do and how do they act? 

So if I look in the kitchen window a get a picture of the goings on of the home through that perspective. I may see meals being prepared, homework being done, or groceries being put up. However, that view does not let me know what is up in the study or on in the garage. 

I think sometimes our lives are like this. We look through our little window and we think that the entire world is working like the kitchen, when really there is reconstruction being done in the garage, there is a cleansing being done in the bathroom, there is a warm fire and games being played in the study.

Don’t be afraid to take a step back and check out life through other windows. Ask some questions about the other rooms. Get the full picture of the house. 

I honestly don’t do this enough, but I am committed to pursuing the view of  the entire house and all the activities in the house. I want to know about the entire life that makes the house, not just the one window I am looking through.

Perspective

Had a little personal revelation I thought I would share. Sleeping all night has never been a problem for me in the past. In fact, I have been a sleep pro. Over the course of the last few months, I seem to wake up at the same time of the night a few times each week. I have my own personal belief as to why this is happening, but I wont impose that on you right now. As I awoke last night I was clobbered with a thought: Perspective. Change your perspective and you will change your position.

I love creativity. I love strategy. But what about perspective? Maybe when we are looking at a situation, a different angle or a different view could help us uncover something we have not seen before. What if a different thought process could unlock the mystery, create a better solution, uncover a gem that changes everything?

Perspective is: The state of one’s ideas, the facts known to one. The faculty of seeing all the relevant data in a meaningful relationship. The state of existing in space before the eye. Subjective evaluation of relative significance. A way of regarding situations or topics.

If we can change our perspective, or our view, or our ideas what could happen? What if we discover a new fact, or see something ELSE that is relevant that we have not seen before in our problem? What if we had the guts to find a new way to exist in space? What could happen if we started to dig a little deeper and uncover a new evaluation of significance, or maybe we just start to challenge how we regard a situation or a topic? LETS DO IT!

Just something I am working on. Something I am committed to figuring out. I know that finding a new perspective could possibly change, well, EVERYTHING!
