What's your point of view..?
One of the biggest lessons we can learn in life is how to see things from a different point of view.
It’s very easy to believe that what you see, hear, and feel is exactly how you see it.
Have you ever had the opportunity to have a moment retold by another person, a moment you bore witness to, and you found they saw it a completely different way?
Or, you missed a detail that was later revealed and now you realise it changes your entire perspective? I know I have, plenty of times in the past.
The ability to see things from a different perspective is a gift in relationships, and in all areas of your life because it requires a certain amount of humility and a willingness to surrender.
You have to be willing to believe that anything is possible.
When you are willing in relationships to allow a different point of view to exist, listening happens, and disagreements are less. You will find that your relationships are more joyous and people find great ease in being with you. There is no battle. There is less to defend. People feel heard and safe in knowing that their thoughts and ideas are respected.
The ability to see a different point of view requires that you give up “being right”. If you dare to believe that you could be wrong, even if you would swear you heard or saw something a particular way, it is pretty certain there will be more harmony with your colleagues, spouse, and even your children.
On your way to practicing seeing things from a different perspective, try speaking less and listening more! It's amazing just how much more you can learn when you listen! :)
