WE ALL HAVE A POINT OF VIEW

FLORENCE, ITALY 2008

Are you seeing clearly? Often we believe that we all have the same idea. In fact we all have a point of view. Including foods, movies, music or just simple things including how to peg out the washing. 

Sometimes we need to risk climbing that mountain alone, whatever we are facing. Believe it or not our ancestors carried less baggage in life, that’s why we need to work on keeping things simple. While some may prefer to not look at life any other way until something rocks their world. 

Not everything is at eye level, look up.

Often any kind of friendship, relationship or work colleague one or both of the individuals begin to change their outlook.  The art is to accept where people are and not try to figure out why they feel so strongly about their point of view. 

This is really important because we may only be seeing a part of the picture, not the full spectrum. Although there are some that never change their views or believe everyone else is at fault. Resistance will be their biggest downfall to learning something new.  

While we need live in the moment with friends, the key to help others is to be present in every moment. Because when we all learn that we all have a journey here on earth and part of that may be helping people change the way they think.

AND

There,

IS

Nothing,

Wrong,

With that.
