Personal Development Can Be Expanded By Changing Your Perspective

The power of changing your perspective is beneficial to your personal development. I have a recent story that happened to me I wish to share to help you understand this concept.

I recently went out to the garden to gather up some peas. At first glance, I was looking at three rows of peas and could not see a single pod to pick! I am sure some of you at least have had this experience or can find a similar analogy.

So anyway, determined to have some peas I walk up and down the row. Finally I spot some, but they were not fully formed or not ready to be picked yet, maybe in a few more days, sigh. However, I walked up and down the row and something transformational happened. You see I started to focus better my eyesight or my vision of what my goal was.

When you first come across a row of pea plants you see a wall of green. The wall can be shoulder high even and lots of green leaves. You may notice flowers first because of the color difference but you have to adjust your eyesight and concentrate, perhaps start to walk slower and scan all around. At last I started to find pea pods that were just the right size. I knew they were there but honestly at first glance you couldn't see any at all! I sometimes had to push the leaves around to penetrate the foliage and there perhaps may be a pea pod or two undiscovered. Or I just bent down and looked up from knee level and could see them much clearer and in abundance!

The point of this reference is that you too can change your perspective and find abundance too. Just perhaps look at it differently, slow yourself down, or get down at a lower level to see it all that is hidden and waiting just for you. Sometimes we rush around and too impatient and all too eager to dismiss the obvious.

I am sure you have heard of the old wise man sitting on top of a mountain story. I find that he is there to remind us about mental clarity. We are a society which is demanding instant gratification and not in the process to get there. In order to help you experience more out of life both financial and personally, pause as often as you can. Just ponder even for a 2 second grace period so you can develop the habit of getting the BEST perspective of life you can.

Meditation too is also a way of changing your perspective, but for now be open to learning how to change your perspective.

This life has so much all around us to really appreciate and can certainly provide a bounty for you. Be open to looking at things from different vantage points. They always say that you should put yourself into the other persons's shoes for instance. Take the time to sit and quiet yourself, not always do things the same and perhaps in no time at all you will start to see what has been there all along. Just change your perspective.
