Perspective
Remember learning perspective in art class way back when? Lately I’ve been thinking about that a lot.
I can’t remember the first time I heard how important perspective is, it’s one of those things that every adult in life tries to teach you (we’re talking life approach not drawing now). But even if you have learned it, there are always reminders and opportunity for growth.
Specifically I have been watching the scales. I am amazed and somewhat embarrassed that the number that now causes rejoicing was once my highest pregnancy weight! It is easy to get discouraged by that, but I’m keeping it in perspective, as in the weight is going down, that’s what is important.
It’s not where you’ve been– it’s where you are and where you’re going. Perspective – it makes a difference!
That's right! Forget the past. Just get excited the number is going down.
Whenever I become frustrated with the driving here in Kuwait, I quickly remind myself that so many others living here aren't able to afford a car. They depend on public transportation in order to move around. Like you said, keep everything in perspective.
