Perspective, Pt. 2...

"If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail." - Abraham Maslow

I thought I would continue a little more on perspective since I heard a song the other day that kind of clarifies what I was talking about:


"You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

CHORUS:
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

I see you - the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through meI guess I was wrong
So what now? It's plain to see we're over,
And I hate when things are over -
When so much is left undone

CHORUS:
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got.

"You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

CHORUS:
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

- "Breakfast at Tiffany's" , Deep Blue Something

The guy could have just given up on the relationship when the girl said they had nothing in common. Instead he looked at it from a different perspective and found some common ground in the movie, "Breakfast at Tiffany's". So often we live our lives in terms of seeing the glass half-empty. Think of what we can accomplish if we perceive the glass as half-full instead! If something has got you down today, step back and try to look at it from a different perspective. You may surprise yourself and find an answer that you hadn't thought of!
