Perspective


Everyday, once a day, try to look at life from a different perspective. From whatever different perspective.
In any aspect of life, minuscule or ginormous, just for a moment, be present enough withing yourself, as to wonder why you feel a certain way about something.
Then think, what is another point of view?
And look ahead at what you might learn, or mabye even discover. About yourself, about your place, about someone else, or somewhere else, far away.
If you normally sey yes, just say no. If you normally find excuses, just do it already.
If you always take the same walk to work, or the same drive back home, just today, take a different path.
If you always start your morning with coffee, try some tea. If you, like me, almost always sleeps in, today, just today, wake up early.
If you don't ever drink, sip a glass of wine.
If you don't ever run, go for a short walk.
If you always worry, don't give a damn. If you always gossip, shut up.
You won't change who you are. It's just one time. You will however, get to know your true self, so much better. The more you do it, with different things (again, it's just one time), the clearer your path becomes ahead of you. You can almost see the road...
The clearer you can see your road, the easier it is to take it.
It's easier to fly it. To sail it. Or maybe to drive it. Perhaps to bike it.
Getting to see your road so clearly could potentially even make you realize, that you might be able to just walk it.
