Perspective

One of my hobbies is photography. Last week I was watching a documentary on James Nachtwey, one of the most renowned 'war photographers' in the world.

His work is hard to look at and yet it's captivating. I think it's important to look at it. It's important to see what we do to each other when we are scared, angry, greedy and desperate.

His work helps me 'reframe' my world because I clearly take what I have for granted. Lately I've been obsessing over what we've lost and with the uncertainty of what else is going to happen. In addition, I worry about what I don't have - "I don't have enough (fill in the blank) and I need more (fill in the blank).

When I shift my perspective and look at everything we have, then I shift from a state of fear and scarcity to gratitude and abundance.

It's a new perspective for me - and it feels great.

In today's economic environment it's easy for me to get caught up in what we've lost and the fear of what's going to happen to us, our money and our stuff....when in reality - it is what it is. We'll be fine (You'll be fine too). Sure it's hard. It's a pain in the ass and I don't like it, but it's not life threatening. And we have everything we need to get through it. And we will get through it (You will too). And besides, it's nothing compared to what he (boy in the photo) went through.

Shift your perspective....it will change your life.

Until next time....Passion Rules!
