It's such an interesting word....
It can take you so many directions...
so many interesting places....
And at different stages...
It can bring different things....
And if your open to it...
you can actualy let it change your life....
Impact you in some way that brings about a whole new perspective....
I am going through one of those "changes" right now....
A softening....
An awareness....
An appreciation....
Perspective....
b. A mental view or outlook: "It is useful occasionally to look at the past to gain a perspective on the present" (Fabian Linden).
1. a way of regarding situations, facts, etc., and judging their relative importance
2. the proper or accurate point of view or the ability to see it; objectivity try to get some perspective on your troubles
The shift of my mental view...
being brought down a few notches to be reminded of just how hard some people work...
Just to get by...
To make ends meet...
And the pride that is associated with that job that I deemed "beneath me"....
I recently can quote myself as saying"how the mighty have fallen"....
Perspecitve...
Mighty? In who's eyes?....
I am more mighty now that I have been in years....
As I am learning the value of a physical day's work...
I'm learning that life isn't all fluff and gloss...
That the people who matter most are not the ones sitting in the big office with the million dollar view...
Rather the simple man...
Working 12 hours a day....
Hard...
Physical Labour....
With a smile...
The man who takes more pride in filling and order correctly....
Than I ever could have imagined....
Perspective...
Respect....
Yes....
Maybe this path is physically a little too much for me....
And maybe I will have to toss in the towel sooner than I would have imagined....
But through it all...
I've learned...
And I've softened....
This path...
This learning experience I am on....
Is slowly showing me how to break down these walls...
And to be warm....
Perspective...
Life Changing...
If you can be open enough to embrace it....
