“I don’t like that man. I should get to know him better.” – Abraham Lincoln

Perspective is everything.

In the abundance mindset, there is the belief all human beings are good. No one is born evil. The differences, between a terrorist and a police officer, are not malintentions. Both in their own mind, believe they are doing “the right thing”. The difference between the two are their interpretations, and understanding, of the world. Massive differences, but still at the root, perspectives.

A situation we can all relate to from some point in our lives, is poor first impression. An introduction to someone who… you’d rather not spend another second on. After the interaction, you want to distance yourself as far away as possible. Yet, life puts us right back next to them, not by choice, but by chance.

And we talk. And we strike some common ground. And we understand. We may not be close friends, but the brief amount of time we spent with them afforded us the chance to better understand their perspective.

Next time we find ourselves feel the wave of animosity towards someone, remind ourselves… we just need to get to know them a little bit better.

“There is but one degree of commitment; total.” – Arnie Sherr

When we are “interested” in something, we’ll do what’s convenient. But when we are “”committed”” to something… we’ll do whatever it takes.

When we are only interested in a goal, one that doesn’t deeply drive us, we’ll feel the first obstacle that comes our way… and stop. We can find compromises, and comfort-based decisions, given how the uncomfortableness of the inevitable struggle is stronger than our will to win.

Yet, what the quote urges us to do, is to fully commit. Before we embark on the journey, to fully sit and realize the work that is to come. The challenges we’ll face. And to visualize, overcoming all of them. To build this will to be so strong, that no amount of obstacles could ever stop it.

Struggle is guaranteed. The difference will be our level of commitment amidst. No matter where we go in life, let’s go with our full heart.

“One can have no smaller or greater mastery, than mastery of oneself.” –Leonardo DiVinci

Leonardi DiVinci was one of the first documented individuals to believe that humans could take flight. Before such an idea became a mainstream success… talk about a horrific idea! The thought of hurling a human into the air, like a bird, with no guarantee of landing.

The above quote speaks to his greatest accomplishment. His mastery over his mind. He well knew of the risks, and well recognized the fears. But he believed it to be possible through it all.

The one person that will stop of us from doing what we want to do, looks back at us in the mirror.

It’s good to acknowledge that the primary job of our brain is to keep us safe. It’s going to try to keep us away from risk, danger, and failure.

It’s you versus you.

“Shallow people believe in luck and circumstance. Strong people believe in cause and effect” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

We have a choice – to believe that life is happening to us, or that we are fully in control. That life is a direct reflection of the choices that we make. That the good, bag, ugly, and everything in between is a direct result of our actions.

We can stand by, and wait for life to happen to us. Or we can choose to believe that we have a say in our own story, that we are the writers of our script, that we have complete control over what happens next.

Ask ourselves – at the end of the day, are we going to allow our life to be dictated to us by chance, or by choice?

“One of the sincerest forms of respect, is actually listening to what another has to say.” – Brian McGill

Everyone hears things. Not everyone listens.

Just hearing the words of another is to scratch the surface. It’s often here where one can turn into their own mind, formulating a response. The listening has stopped at this point. The focus is elsewhere now.

What if we changed those efforts around.

Where instead of thinking of what to say next, we seek to see further than the words. In full commitment to appreciating their perspective.

Listen not with the intention to respond, but with the intention to understand.
