Perspective

The reverse side also has a reverse side.

~Japanese Proverb

Perspective

Our lives are constantly shifting. Nothing stays the same long enough, even when we want it to. Sometimes we get a bit "comfortable" and when something happens that shakes up our world, it can put us in a tailspin. If we take a look at life from a different perspective though, we understand that everything changes and so must we. If we look at the landscape around us, there are peaks and valleys. With every high achievement, there is a valley near. With every beautiful day, there is a thunderstorm behind it. Life is ever shifting in order to create balance. We need to start to shift our perspective as well and realize that whatever situation you are currently in (good or bad) it will change. That is the rule of life. Remember to take a look at your life from the bigger viewpoint and realize that no matter what situation you are facing, this too shall pass. Do not cling to the moment if it is really good or believe that situation will never get better if it is bad. By not holding on to these feelings, we give ourselves permission to just be, without any judgements or fear. Let yourself feel and embrace the change that is constantly swirling around you. When you do, you will see yourself in a whole new light. You will know that no matter what is happening, you are safe and secure!
