The Gift of Perspective

1/6/2016

The lens through which you look at something determines what you see.  The point of view you have determines how you see it.  If you were looking at a city in the distance from the top of a mountain, the perspective you would have of it would be very different from the one gained by walking down the street in the city.  For me recently, I became aware that in recent years I have often chosen to live from the witness observer perspective, seeing my life, people, and the world through that lens.  In recent years I also had this desire to show up, participate, and contribute to changing realities, however I always felt blocked, or shut down, or unable to show up in the way that I wanted to and I didn't know why.  I realized recently that this choice to stay in the witness observer perspective was keeping me from being an active participant in my life.  I used to get these images of being on the sideline waiting for my chance to get on the field and play.  At the time it felt like someone else needed to give me permission or give me the opportunity, and I had to wait for that moment, or continue to better myself so that I would be ready when the time came.  In reality, it’s me, choosing to change my perspective and be an active participant rather than a passive observer. 

​What if now is the time to have ease changing perspectives?  More and more I’m becoming aware of where I have been stuck in a fixed point of view, or where I had made someone else’s point of view more valuable and always evaluated my life or circumstances according to that.  It’s a gift when we choose to view our lives from a point of view that is greater than the one we currently have.  It’s like having a coach that knows you can be a phenomenal athlete and maintains that perspective even when you cant see it or doubt it.  What would it be like to invite the perspectives that contribute to us thriving?  What if now is the time to acknowledge the points of views we have been stuck in, and shift?  Every point of view is a choice.  When our perspective doesn’t allow us to move forward with what we desire, it’s time to change it.  What if it was easier then ever to do so?  I wonder what’s possible now.  I’m choosing to step onto the field and play!  Let the fun begin!
