We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do, keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations.
I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for.
Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at it" and that is a huge and monumental point. I can't change what happened to me as a child and I can't change my anxiety or depression, but I can change the way I seen it. I realized all of the positives that came along with it (though there are many disadvantages). The biggest positive is that it made who I am, I wouldn't be who I am without the events that unfolded and I wouldn't be going to college for what I am going for, I wouldn't be writing this blog, I wouldn't have met my husband, I wouldn't be fascinated in mental health, and the list goes on and on. So while what happened sucks and while the consequences that are here now (anxiety/depression) suck also, I also have good things that came out in my life that wouldn't have had the opportunity had it not happened.
Perspective is a huge tool that we have in our life and while it's not always easy to do it is something we can adjust. Another quote that I love was written by a physicist Erwin Scrodinger, it states "The task is...not so much to see what no-one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which every body sees." This quote is of utmost importance to me, it proves that thinking out of the box and in ways that are not common is important in the world. While many thoughts and opinions are common, remember that sometimes there is more to the eye and that it is okay to look deeper.
Your perspective of things can shape the way you live, think and so much more. It's super important to remember that by shaping your perspective you can improve your own life and well-being.
This is why I chose the title "Some see a weed, others see a wish."The way you look and think about things is imperative to your own life and self-care. So think about the dandelion 'weed' and adjust your perspective as needed.
