Perspective is nothing but our personalized lens that allows us to see the world around us. We can look at the same thing or at the same angle but will never have the same image or feeling as the other person next to us. Nothing wrong with that! As a matter of fact, that's one of the things that makes us different one to another. Our uniqueness makes us special.
According to the lens we use, the perspective can vary. It could be accurate or distorted from what the rest of the world would call reality.
Every single human being has his unique core self. When we stop comparing ourselves with others, we start embracing our uniqueness and see things through a different perspective. That's the moment when our lens changes focus and we become aware of the uniqueness of others.
If you do not dare to raise your eyes, step out of your bubble and look high above you, you might think that you have achieve your full potential. You'd be living under the impression you gave your best and that was it.
When you think that everything is finished, keep in mind that was only the beginning! Each new peak you climbed offers a wider perspective. It enables you to get more knowledgeable and humble.
A Philippines proverb says:
There's no burnt rice to a hungry person.
It all depends on the perspective you chose to have. You can look at the world through pink glasses, or close one eye if you'd like. The choice is yours to make. A wise thing would be to always see the bright side of things and be grateful for the things you have, instead of focusing on the negative points.
If you'd prefer a different analogy, imagine that the moment you are born you are facing a wall. Your eyes can only see the bricks. More steps you make, more you distance yourself from that wall, your view expands. Further you go, your eyes can see the wall shrinking and can enjoy the beautiful landscape going beyond it.
The only thing we have control over is the perspective. We can't control what is going to happen to us, but we can decide the outcome of our situation as we do have a choice on how we view things.
