How do you turn this into a soccer playing field?
What do you do if you want to play soccer but you live in a village that floats on water?
Check out this perspective changing true video to see how it’s done.
Watch for examples of:
Many things skew our perspective.
Take the moon for example. How far is the moon from the earth?  Have you been influenced by popular images?
Take a look and listen below. You just might be surprised … the same kind of eyebrow raising that happens when our perspective is enlightened.
Rising up and gracefully meeting the challenges that today’s ever increasingly fast paced world presents can’t be done with the thinking of yesteryear.
Changing perspective means breaking out of the bonds that tie our brains down.
Encumbered with false assumptions (we’ve gotta do it this way, any other way won’t work, we tried before, it failed), we tend to trundle along well laid paths, head down, focused.
Until, something makes us look up … and … out. Towards possibilities. Towards breaking the ties that bind.
Here’s an example. Whether you have young kids in your life or not, it’s a great example of reinvigorated thinking.
Do you and I have to be with each other to read a book together? Not the way A Story Before Bed envisions it. Once signed up, you and your loved one can read the same book and see each other and yet be many continents and time zones apart.
Creative? You bet.
Endearing? Of course.
Go get your book on.
As you know if you’ve read this blog before, the focus is all on perspective. How our perspective changes depending on what lenses we’re wearing.
We think we’re neutral and objective but we’re not. We’re biased. Way biased.
We see things as only we see them. We see things based on our culture, our perspective, our history. We see things uniquely.
The trick is teasing out our perspective. Making the lenses that we see the world through visible.
Here’s a perspective on mamahood. It caught my eye because I have a 13 year old. It made me chuckle. I hope it does for you as well.
It’s all about perspective.
3 yrs old: “Mommy, I love you”
10 yrs old: “Mom whatever!”
16 yrs old: “My Mom is so annoying!”
18 yrs old: “I wanna leave this house.”
25 yrs old: “Mom, you were right.”
30 yrs old: “I wanna go back to my Mom’s house.”
50 yrs old: “I don’t wanna lose my Mom.”
70 yrs old: “I would give up EVERYTHING for my Mom to be here ……with me.”
