How do you see things?

 

So I’m sitting on the couch getting upset because of the actions of somebody.  And if you know me then you know that I rarely get upset but when I do get upset, a nuclear explosion is eminent!  I was about to open my mouth and erupt when that other more mature side of me took me for a ride up out of my body, through the clouds and into space.  We hovered there and I got “Perspective”.  I saw the situation from the outside in and I just laughed as I understood it all.  I saw all of the pieces on the board and realized how good my position is.  Like a game of chess I saw all of the possible moves I could make.  Me getting mad was like me getting upset because somebody took my pawn when they only have two pieces left on the board and I only lost one piece.  I giggled again at my stupidity.  I end my space voyage and come back to my body and smile knowing that my life is amazing.  Here is where I also made another realization, their life is amazing too so getting mad about their actions was REALLY pointless.  To realize something good about your adversary and to be happy for them is true perspective.

 

I think alot of us do that, we look at things from on the ground and get mad without looking at the bigger picture.  We only see the person robbing us of $20 without realizing that we own the bank, or that we are both rich, it doesn’t matter.  You give them a few hundred in $20’s and keep walking away smiling.
