Higher perspective
Don’t waste your effort trying to push the problems down to a lower level. Instead, raise yourself to a higher level.
From the top of the mountain you have a better perspective. So climb the mountain.
Do the work to get yourself above the problem, physically, mentally, spiritually. See the bigger picture, and within that picture will be more possibilities, resources, and connections.
Expand your horizon and suddenly you have a greater area in which to operate. Factors that previously limited you could very well empower you when viewed from a higher perspective.
Consider steps you can take to reach that higher perspective. They likely won’t be easy, yet they will be worth the effort.
Rather than being overwhelmed by any situation, look for how you can rise above it. Work to gain the high ground, and give yourself plenty of good options.
— Ralph Marston
