There are over 7.5 billion people in the world today and every one of us thinks in a different way.

Sure there are people that have similar view points. It’s why we are able to gather around particular causes. But at their core, we do things for different reasons.

It’s this particular fact that has gotten me so interested in people and found a deeper appreciation for people.

It was through that fact as well that I learned a valuable lesson.

That lesson being that we need to appreciate the differences in perspective and therefore people.

In fact, by embracing these differences we can better learn ourselves in ways we can’t imagine on our own.

Why Perspectives Are Important

Perspective is how we see the world, our own reality.

It’s unique to ours and ours alone.

But is our reality the only one that exists?

Absolutely not.

Every person has their own realities, whether it’s job positions or people in general. These positions and perspectives are based on our reality.

I write (and sometimes do videos) about self-help for those who don't like self-help. Complete with the occasional memes and riffs on the industry that I love.
