Daily Reflections

Perspective sure is interesting. The way we view things, physical things, abstract things, emotional things. It all depends on our experiences - our surroundings. Where we are, what we know, life circumstances. Perspective is something that can seem forced upon us and hard to change and yet all it does is take one pivotal experience or even a conscious change of thought and we have a completely different perspective.

This is not a response to anything in particular that has happened...just a thought about things I've read lately. And I'm always amazed at how my perspective changes when I go to a new city or place and take in new experiences. Our world is such a huge place and if you don't have experiences that change your perspective every now and then - well then I'm not sure you are making the most out of this world that the Lord has given us. I know I forget to open my eyes to the world around me. And sometimes I get so wrapped up in me and my own little world that I forget to open my eyes to everything else around me.

So here's to some fresh perspective for everyone! Challenge yourself to do something that you usually don't. Try and see something a different way - from a different angle - than you always have in the past.
