Expand your perspective
When you focus only on yourself, you severely limit your
options. When your thoughts are centered only on you, those
thoughts cut you off from a whole world of possibilities.
It's all too easy to become frustrated, disillusioned, angry
and bitter when your own perspective is the only one you
consider. Your own narrow concerns can seem painfully
overwhelming if you give all your attention and energy to
them.
The way out of such pain and frustration is to expand your
perspective beyond yourself. Genuinely take other people
into consideration, and your positive possibilities multiply
dramatically.
Pay attention to the concerns of others, and you'll gain
valuable insights that otherwise would not be available to
you. Think, act and live beyond yourself, and all sorts of
new, positive possibilities arise.
When the concerns of your own ego fall away, an enormous
amount of energy is set free. When you are no longer
restricted to your own narrow perspective, a whole new set
of magnificent opportunities will open up to you.
Seek to make a difference not merely for yourself but for
all of life. And many of the limitations that once hounded
you will suddenly be gone.
