EMBRACING PERSPECTIVE IN YOUR LIFE

This photo challenge couldn't have come at a better time, as I have been deeply craving a new perspective in which direction I'd like to take my business this year. The ebb and flow of entrepreneurship over the last year has gently brought me to shore, as I've been riding the waves - and man, oh, man - what an amazing ride it's been!

As I strengthen my entrepreneurial mindset, while deepening my passion to help others connect with their creative wisdom, I've had a yearning to return to the source that gives me the vitality I'll need for the long haul. For me, that would be my deep connection with Mother Earth. She has always been a source of inspiration in my life, giving me a different perspective, always at the most perfect moments.

When you feel overwhelm, doubt, fear, or uncertainty, sometimes it helps to see things from a different perspective. Yes, I know, you already know this. But I'm going to say it anyway.

Look at the bigger picture, what missing pieces do you see? How does everything fit? Is there a sense of unity and harmony as a whole?

Or perhaps, look the situation from a completely different point of view or from an angle you've never thought of. Be open to seeing things from another person's perspective, as well. Instead of looking at things from A to Z, how about re-arranging the entire alphabet to create meaningful concepts that feel strangely right for you?

You might even dig into the smaller, little details, and work with each detail one at a time, instead of overwhelming yourself with everything at once.

And then, breathe.

Like a camera's lens, the possibilities of seeing the world with a different perspective are endless. Open your eyes and allow yourself to creatively play with those possibilities.

Much Love & Creative Bliss,
