Right Perspective

Our perspective directly affects our attitude and more specifically, our default settings.

It’s easy to get focused on what’s wrong in life, what we don’t have, and how big our obstacles are. If we’re not careful, we’ll lose sight of all the good things God has done. We’ll take for granted our family, friends, health and the opportunities God has blessed us with. We’ll get so busy and stressed out that we won’t appreciate the gift of today. What’s happened? Our perspective has gotten off. Perspective is all about how we see a situation. There’s power in your perspective because you will draw into your life what you constantly meditate on. Business may be slow. The economy may be down. The wrong perspective is, “I’ll never make it. It’s just too much.” The right perspective is, “I know I have a purpose and reason for being here. I just need to keep working my process.” I encourage you to evaluate your perspective. Choose a good attitude no matter what is happening in your circumstances. Remember, as you set your perspective in the right direction, your life will follow. Do you have the right perspective and attitude today toward your future?
