Your perspective determines your life.

The Power Of Perspective
We Heart It

Life…it is a beautiful gift that each of us has been given. It has its ups and it has its downs. It presents us with situations that we never expected. It consists of obstacles that challenge us and teach us new things. It can be completely amazing and it can be completely horrible at times. It is not easy, but we were given this life because we are strong enough to live it. We are capable of overcoming difficulties by seeing things differently and by gaining new perspectives.

Your perspective is so meaningful and influential because it shapes your thoughts, decisions, and ultimately your actions. It makes up who you are as a person. Everyone should strive to be more conscious of the way that they think and act because it can lead to a better life, a more positive life. If you feel that you are not living happily, you have to realize and accept that you are in control, that you control your own happiness and you can create a better life for yourself by improving your mind.

There are so many actions that can result in a strengthened and more positive perspective. It is important to be aware of the judgments that you make throughout any given day. When you are thrown into a situation, you should make an effort to pass judgment and interpret the situation from varying angles. If you become a neutral observer in life, you will end up learning so much by realizing the power that lies in judgments and the complications that come along with situations. Many things aren’t as they seem.

When you are confronted with a bad situation it is usually very difficult to see the bright side or the good that exists within it. By practicing optimism and realizing all of the good that comes along with it, your life will make a turn for the better. Positivity can do wonders; it goes a long way.

Everyone has suffered from a bad day here and there. If it wasn’t for the bad days, we wouldn’t be able to appreciate the good days. Another way that you can make a big difference in your life is by being grateful for everything that you have. The next time you feel that you have it bad, think about those who have it worse than you…that can definitely put things in perspective. Don’t allow yourself to think that your world is crumbling and that there is no hope. Count your blessings and realize all that you have right in front of you rather than focusing on the things that you don’t have.

Keeping your core values, morals, and beliefs in check should always remain a priority of yours. This is a crucial step to an enhanced mindset because your values make up who you are as an individual, they determine what you believe in and what is important to you. By reminding yourself of your values, you will be able to stay more in tune with what you want in life, how you want other people to see you, and where you want to be mentally, physically and emotionally.

Perspective is everything. Aim to improve yours…become a better person…change your world.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
