Today I was supposed to film a video blog on this topic, but instead I wanted to take the time and make a more traditional blog entry available to you. The topic of perspective is so important to me, and should be to you, not only because it pertains to your career journey but because gaining & keeping perspective is what life is all about.
At the heart of this concept is the ability to keep the big picture in mind, and to remember what is most important. This is so hard for us to do as human beings (1) because many times the big picture is unclear to us, or we lose trust that the right things will take place in our life, and (2) many times we don’t KNOW what’s most important, so it’s hard to make accurate valuations of events while we are so close to them.
