It Depends on Your Perspective

How you see life, the Universe, and everything is a matter of perspective.

All the ways in which you experience life are a matter of perspective.

Take Monday, for example. I know a LOT of people who get to Monday and automatically get negative. This is how they approach work, school, the daily grind, and so on. Monday morning is unwelcome.

That’s one perspective. What if, instead, Monday were to represent new opportunities? How do you approach work when you LOVE what you do?

This is a matter of perspective. Perspective is one of the few things over which you have control.

People love to feel in control over their lives. And yet, often they don’t. That’s because you can do nothing about outside influences.

Unfortunately, you have zero control over how anyone else thinks, feels, and acts. You have no control over the weather, traffic, power outages, internet connectivity, and so on. These are all matters outside of yourself and outside of your control.

What DO you control? On the surface, you control your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intent. Beneath the surface, you can control your mindset/headspace/psyche. All of that combined gives you control of your perspective.
