The Power Of Perspective

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.

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change…”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
