Revisiting your ‘Friend’s’ perspective – making the old new again

January 23rd, 2014

Screen Shot 2014-01-23 at 11.03.47 AMIf you spent any length of time in North America in the 1990’s watching TV then you’ll know the show Friends.  You’ll also likely have the opening song resonating somewhere in the dusty recesses of your mind.

Prepare to haul it out & take a new listen.

It’s lovely.  Somewhat haunting.  Evocative.  And new.

Perspective.  Revisited.

What’s something you can haul out & revisit with new eyes?

Good Life PRojectI love listening to podcasts.  When I’m working out, somehow learning about something new makes the sweat easier to bear.

One that’s caught my attention recently is Jonathan Field’s ‘Good Life Project’ where he interviews diverse folks about, well, what makes for a good life.  The image above is his ‘Living Creed‘.

Good stuff here.  Illuminating perspectives.

Grab a podcast. Take a good listen.

Grab his Good Life TV. Take a good look.

A Debate Between An Atheist And A Christian Has Quite A Surprising Result (via Upworthy)

These small clay hands & found stone 'heart' sit on my desk.  For we all simply to hold & be held with love.
These small clay hands & found stone ‘heart’ sit on my desk. For we all want to hold & be held with love.

I originally found this illuminating video on Upworthy.  It’s a debate between an atheist & a Christian.  Check it out.  Especially at this time of year, we could all do with a little more tolerance & understanding.

If you’re religious, think about the last time you had a talk with an atheist about religion. If you’re an atheist, think about the last time you talked religion with someone who was devout.

Now think how you would have liked that to go.

Just how much money do people like you make?  Here’s an online calculator from Canada that does just that – calculates what people make based on gender, education, age & ethnicity.

If you’re living outside Canada, at least you can see what Canadians make compared to you.

Try keeping your demographic details the same & changing your ethnicity.  Ditto gender.  It’s sobering.

Perspective.  It’s in the demographics.
