Changing perspectives is a gift most choose not to use.

It isn’t easy-changing perspectives.

But, when you do, oh wow. It leads to new questions. New queries lead to new information which leads you to new considerations.

Everything changes.

When it happens, and you end up changing your point of view, your decision-making grows in strength.

Without it, it’s like you’re trapped in a tunnel.

The strong concrete walls hold back gravity’s urge to fill the space you’re in. Your only view is the one right in front of you. Darkness fills the void between you and the distant white dot which marks your point of exit.

In physical terms, you’re trapped.

But, as we will explore-and as Yuval Noah Harari explains in his fascinating book, Sapiens, we have a unique skill. One that sets us apart from other species and also helps us when it comes to changing perspectives.

Our imagination.

Your Perspective isn’t Just What You See
