Life can be viewed from many different angles. You may see life from one perspective,while someone else’s picture of life can be totally opposite. The variations in the different views doesn’t make your view good or bad, just different. It is good to be open to different views, because your way isn’t the only way of seeing life. There are far too many people stuck in a rut, because they can’t imagine life from a different view.
Imagine looking at your neighborhood, and visualizing everything that’s going on around you. People are going about their daily tasks, and perhaps children playing in the street. You see vehicles traveling up and down the street, or someone just relaxing on the front porch. Whatever view you gather, now imagine looking at the same neighborhood from a plane. You would capture a much different view from the sky.
As I looked below, from the plane earlier this week, I began to imagine life from a different view. The neighborhoods looked similar, I couldn’t tell if the areas were clean, drug infested or full of violence. I realized that my view of life was so distorted. Things are not necessarily the way they appear. When’s the last time you look at life from a different view?
When preparing to head home today, my friend didn’t want to leave her snacks behind. She was adamant about finding a bag to carry her snacks on the plane, and went the extra mile to find a bag. My thought process was that the amount of time and money we spent looking for a bag far exceeded the costs of her snacks. But her snacks were important to her, and I realized that it wasn’t about the money to her.
Sometimes, we need to see things from a different view. Her view wasn’t right or wrong, just her view, and I needed to embrace her decision from a different view. She believed in what she wanted to do, and didn’t stop until she accomplished her goal. We all could learn a lesson from her persistence. Never give up on what you believe, keep trying until you get what you set out to do, and remember that life can be interesting from a different view. Are you willing to go the extra mile to get what you desire? From a different view!!!
