Good day guys, hope you’re all doing great. I’m a lover of art, nature and photography. So today I have an observation I want to share with you… I truly appreciate everyone who takes the time to read and engage.
Sometimes we spend so much time looking at something/somewhere from the same position we are forgeting that there might be another way to see it. We often judge what we see base on our angle of view.
Today, I decided to challenge myself by going up a hill around my neighborhood just because I wanted to see what the place would look like from the top….Not like I went there for anything serious but I was just curious. And when I got there and looked down… I was amazed because I started seeing the area differently…. The houses that normally look like separate places from the ground suddenly looked connected and the Roads that I walked through before was bearly seen. The view was completely different from that angle.
This it made me think about how similar this can be to our life. Sometimes we can be too close to a problem to understand it properly. Most times when something is happening to us our attention goes toward the details and we don’t think about it the other way. Instead of focusing on what happened we should think of what went wrong, what someone said, what we should have done differently and what might happen next.
Everything feels bigger because we put ourselves right in the middle of it, but sometimes you don’t need to solve the problem immediately. You just need to step back a bit, not necessarily physically, but mentally, give yourself some distance away from the situation and Look at it from another angle entirely and ask yourself what you might be missing because you have been looking at the same thing for too long.
The interesting thing is how much our perspective can change without the actual situation changing. For instance: The houses were still there, the roads were still there and the hill didn’t change anything about the neighborhood the only thing that changed was where I was standing.
Maybe some things in life can be a little bit similar. Maybe the situation doesn’t always need to change first, maybe sometimes we just need to change our position before our understanding can change.
Incase u might have another idea of what this picture tells you please share with us 😊.
