How to Change Your Life by Changing Your Perspective

Would you like to learn a short-cut to success? One that will radically transform your life and bring you the success and happiness that you really want in your life? It is not as hard as you my have led yourself to believe. I'd like to share with you a very simple, very powerful way to instantly begin transforming your life.

It is called 'changing your perspective', and it is something that you have probably done many times in the past.

Has this ever happened to you? You are going along, experiencing all these big problems, and whining and complaining about how tough things are, how unfair life is, when suddenly you get one of these wake up calls and in an instant, your life, and your problems, don't seem quite so tough any more?

I am sure that it has.

It happens to all of us.

Life offers all of us many, many opportunities to grow into our full potential, but it is only when you are able to step back a bit and see your own life clearly that you are able to take advantage of your incredible potential.

So how clear is your perspective on your life?

Are you being real about your challenges?

Or are you making mountains out of mole hills?

In other words:

How real are your problems?

If you were to put your biggest problems down on paper and then you showed them to a stranger, would that person be blown away and say, "Wow, you have really got it hard!"

Or would they glance at your little list of problems and say, "You are kidding, right? These are your problems?"

What if your best friend came to you with the same exact list of challenges. Would you look at your friend's list and see those challenges as huge and unsolvable, or would you see them as easily overcome?

It is amazing how quickly a change of perspective can alter how you feel about the problems in your life.

What once seemed like a huge obstacle can instantly become a minor annoyance.

Everything, and I do mean everything, in life is relative, and you can always look around and see people who seem to have it easier than you do, people who don't seem to have the same challenges or the same problems that you have. You can see people who appear lucky or who seem to have been born in the right place or the right time.

But that is just one perspective that is available to you. That is just one way of looking at the world.

Here is another: You can also look around yourself and notice many, many people who seem to be worse off than yourself.

This approach may make you feel better for a moment, but it is not really any better. In both cases, you are comparing yourself and placing a value on your perceived problems, a value based on what you think other people are experiencing and not based on the reality of your situation.

But those are only two perspectives... there is another way!

The best choice is to allow yourself to see your life and your challenges as honestly as possible. When your life seems too hard or too challenging, let yourself step back and look for the big picture. Sometimes you have to force yourself to stop and breath for a moment, and pull yourself out of the picture, but you can do it.

Once you do, you will notice that there are many more options open to you than you thought possible. You are never stuck with just one way to see your life. Open your eyes and your mind to the true choices that are before you, then choose the most honest one.

Do that consistently and your life will never be the same again.
