Opening Your Perspective

Honestly speaking, this is a tough topic for some people. The older you get, it seems the more stuck on a certain viewpoint you become. As I am fully aware of the old definition of insanity, 'wanting something new, but keep doing the same thing over and over', I truly don't get as to why older folks don't open their perspectives more often than not.

Well, OK, yes I can. For some odd reason, this strong perspective option has truly been what signifies a stable person. God forbid you choose to change your perspective, then in essence you change yourself, never really becoming stable. But is this all really true? Are their advantages to keeping an open mind on topics you have not fully experienced, rather than becoming judgemental? I think so.

Example A:  A couple has decided to take in an individual to help them get on their feet. The individual does not see things in life the same way this couple does, and in turn decides to start a plan to get out of the living enviornment given to him freely.

Some people would look at this individual as a freeloading, selfish and nothing more than a hard headed person.

Others would agree that if you can't get along with the people, it's probably best to end the ties and go your own separate ways.

I say, 'Hey, the couples goal here was to get the individual on his/her own two feet, and no matter how it happened, that's exactly what the end result was. Bonus for all.'

I could make it much more complicated than that, but why would I? Oh yes, that's right--because I'm an empath and can feel and hear what each party is thinking or viewing the situation as. (is that any of my business?) Not unless they ask me. So until they do, I'm not going to complicate anything. Look at what is what at the moment it is, because some people may act on their thoughts or views, while others just learn from those never ending self questioning situations.

But for topic's sake, let us just say that we are all stuck on one of the three perspectives. Now what? Shall we all but heads over issues that aren't ours? Shall we just say, 'yeah I see your point too', and move on about our business, or do we all actually become more involved in their lives than they are their own and end up taking home more than we bargained for?

I've had clients dump me because I won't get emotionally charged over topics that they think I should, and that is their choice. Emotionally charged readers, are not helping by taking sides. They are not in fact mediating the situation, rather giving in to ego and lies because that is what a lot of clients want, someone to agree with them.

But I also have a lot of loyal clients that return time and time again because they know that no matter how blunt or compassion lacking my reading may seem---it's fact.

Can perspectives get you into trouble.....? LOL I believe they can, but that depends on your perspective and where it's intention stems :).
