Perspective

I was talking with a friend and kept hearing the word 'change.' I realized how little she accepted herself. Think about it, there is NO ONE in this world that needs changing. They are perfect the way the are. I would say we all deserve to 'shift' our perspective. Can you hear the difference?

Some of you reading this might strongly disagree with that but hear me out.

We are spiritual Children of God, as I believe. If this is true, we have a spiritual lineage. We also have been asked to follow in God's footsteps. If God is Love and he loves UNCONDITIONALLY, then that becomes our quest in our lifetime. Loving unconditionally means just that....NO CONDITIONS, the love is always there. God doesn't love you IF you do A, B or C ... God loves you because you are who you are!
If we could learn to love as God loves, not just others but ourselves we can then begin understanding more of God's plan laid out for us. In fact, we must learn first and acquire that unconditional love for our self before we can give it to anyone else. We can not give what we do not have.

I had a grandson looking for me. I was on a balcony waving my arms trying to get him to notice me. He kept looking up and around because he heard me but never saw me. This kinda describes what I'm talking about. My grandson didn't have anything to change to see me, he simply needed to shift his perspective. He finally saw me only after he was willing to shift his perspective and stance and waved back.

Try it on for today, shifting your perspective with one person. If they tell you or explain something, do your best to look at it from their point of view. Like Steven R. Covey stated, "Seek to understand before seeking to be understood."

Create yourself a fabulous day!
