Perspective is an art

Perspective is essential in art. How else could you tell the difference between the foreground and background; where things begin and end? The same rings true for life. How can you truly understand someone else without peeking at life from their perspective? How on earth could rain patters on your shoulder be beautiful without a glass half-full attitude? Sometimes, I think you'll find that the day brightens when you look at your life through a lens of gratitude rather than grumbling.

Is there a world out there?

Something simple, yet striking; a paradox. We are all the same, we are each unique. People are selfish; often we are so wrapped up in ourselves and how "special" we are that we forget that everyone was created with a unique set of traits, tastes and talents. We forget that, despite these differences, we are all human beings; each life a precious thing to be valued, treasured. It's a difficult thing to balance, but completely worthwhile. Give value to yourself, give value to others. Be confident in your strengths, humble in your weaknesses; open to growth in both. Listen, and don't mock. The world is filled with six billion lives that are just as complex and intriguing as your own.
