Change Is All About Perspective

When you change your perspective, your world will follow.

Change Is All About Perspective

Everyone sees the same world through different perspectives. We are all different and we all have different opinions, views, and attitudes. As life moves along, our perspective of the world changes. When we are children we have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about, and nothing to stress over. Children live in a life of bliss, but as we grow older we are shown the true realities of the world we live in.

Throughout our life, we begin to realize not everything is sunshine and daisies and through this process, our perspective begins to change. Maybe we aren't as happy as we used to be, as determined, excited, thoughtful, open-minded, or adventurous, I could go on and on. When the world shows us these faults we begin to think that nothing will ever be as easy as it once was.

Through changing my perspective of life, I have truly altered my overall attitude towards just about everything. Doing this may not be easy, but it is something that I believe is incredibly beneficial. When we realize that the world, is in fact, not out to personally get us something switches inside. People have so much hate or resentment towards things they forget to enjoy the good in life.

Changing your perspective is as easy as not letting every little hiccup affect your day. Learning how to forgive and forget, look past things, stop stressing and see the greater good will allow each and every one of us to live a full life. Altering your perspective is as easy as not letting negativity come in and ruin your day, or not letting the stressors at work affect your attitude.

We all have things in our life that we don't enjoy, or that we think aren't good enough. Humans tend to believe that every issue they are faced with is a problem when in reality it is just a learning experience. Learning experiences make us who we are today. They make us brighter, stronger, and more in tune with our body and outlook on situations.

When you love who you are and you love your life, you come to understand all it took was changing the way you look at it. Perspective really is key, and when you change it your life goes alters only for the better.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
