If your perspective includes lots of viable options in your life, then your world is large. If you put lots of constraints on your life, then your world is small.
A small world is like wearing blinders, options that make your life more fulfilling and joyful are simply not seen, let alone experienced. A large world is good!
For example; If we say that an economic situation disallows buying a new car, then not only do we eliminate a new car but we also sink deeper into economic and travel constraints. That is a small world perspective. The reality is that when the economy is bad, there are wonderful bargains, including great buys on new cars. In reality the economic situation creates opportunities for travel, it does not exclude them. That is a large world perspective.
Another example would be work, or the lack of it. If a job is lost, a large world perspective would be to expand our creativity in the direction of a new career. A large world perspective of losing a job opens up more productive careers. Job loss does not necessarily create poverty, that is a small world perspective.
We are protected by the universe, even when the universe seemingly puts constraints on our life. Constraints give us an opportunity to expand our world. There are lots of opportunities for expansion is todays world. Lets take advantage of them!
What do you think?

Nice blog! We all need a different perspective every once in a while!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that! It's easy to fall into fear and limitation when you see and hear it everywhere. Let's look at the opportunities for positive change instead.

Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteGreat to be blogging with you. I liked your word, "seemingly" when you referred to the universe, "seemingly" not giving us what we want. I see the universe as lovingly neutral. It gives back to us what we put out to it. Whatever it is we declare to be so , individually and collectively, we will receive, because our Divine Nature is to be Creators. For a long time Mankind has been putting out so much negativity and ideas of separation from each other, that it is eventually bound to catch up with us.. not as a punishment, but as a consequence. So at this time in life, we do have a great opportunity to perceive things differently, to change our thoughts and our attitudes. I have found that the greatest positive changes in my life have come as a result of struggle. I see this happening in the world as well. Sometimes it takes a forced change in order for the world to move in a positive direction. It takes us out of our comfort zone to a new and better place. In order to follow our upward evolutionary path this kind of change needs to be here. If we can look at the larger perspective of that, we will realize that everything is all right, always has been, and always will be. That is the promise given to us by the Creator. It doesn't get better than that.
Resigning my job in a rather small world, opened doors into a large world, even at the same job (for the second time the management asked me to stay longer!). All I have asked for at work is fulfilled!
ReplyDeleteThe large world is wide open, waiting for me to just walk in.
