How do you see things?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So I’m sitting on the couch getting upset because of the actions of somebody. \u00a0And if you know me then you know that I rarely get upset but when I do get upset, a nuclear explosion is\u00a0eminent! \u00a0I was about to open my mouth and\u00a0erupt when that other more mature side of me took me for a ride up out of my body, through the clouds and into space. \u00a0We hovered there and I got “Perspective”. \u00a0I saw the situation from the outside in and I just laughed as I understood it all. \u00a0I saw all of the pieces on the board and realized how good my position is. \u00a0Like a game of chess I saw all of the possible moves I could make. \u00a0Me 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. \u00a0I giggled again at my stupidity. \u00a0I end my space voyage and come back to my body and smile knowing that my life is amazing. \u00a0Here is where I also made another realization, their <\/strong>life is amazing too so getting mad about their actions was REALLY pointless. \u00a0To realize something good about your adversary and to be happy for them is true perspective.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I think alot of us do that, we look at things from on the ground and get mad without looking at the bigger picture. \u00a0We 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. \u00a0You give them a few hundred in $20’s and keep walking away smiling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How do you see things?
