Change of direction, change of perspective

Perspective is everything

I used to walk the same route to and from high school, only it wasn’t the same route. Each way I walked the way that felt natural, but the way that felt natural each way took me on a slightly different path.

It’s amazing how much our perspective can change the path we take. What feels natural one way, often doesn’t when seen from another point of view.

Besides regurgitating facts, there aren’t many challenges out there that don’t require a creative response, simply because there are many ways to skin a cat.

But the way that feels natural to us can change completely depending on perspective. That’s precisely why we should not only consider, but embrace approaches that differ to our own every once in a while.
