Making your world larger

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!
