A whole new perspective.

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Iceland.
I recently spent 6 days in Iceland and the landscape was truly breathtaking. Before leaving England I had tracked down photos, watched YouTube movies and tried to anticipate the stunning sights – I was excited to say the least. But to actually witness this really is something else, actually switching my geography as opposed to just reading about it or watching videos is infinitely more powerful. Something inside at soul level shifts, permanently. New possibilities are available from this perspective, the boundaries have been moved, imagination made real and shown incredible new perspectives.
If you are sat down right now and spin your chair round 180 degrees, life appears different. For a start you won’t be able to finish reading this paragraph due to your “limiting” new perspective, but it does offer up a new landscape and different things are possible from here, also you are able to compare with your previous state and you are able to choose. We often forget that we have a choice. We decide on how we see what we are looking at.
The point is that to actually feel a difference, to empower yourself enough to change, you have to get up and physically make a shift, whether that be telling somebody you love them, taking up hand gliding or visiting a far off land such as Iceland. Switch your viewpoint and the possibility looks different. In that switch, a fresh perspective opens up, outside and in. From here on in, a plethora of possibilities make themselves apparent and the shift may be so spectacular that it takes your breath away as Iceland did with me. I’ll never see things the same way again and was inspired to write this post. I hope switching your perspective will allow some change for you today too and tomorrow and the day after that…
