Expand Your Perspective
New ideas can enlarge your sphere of influence and transform your world. A single nugget of information combined with an existing concept can spark an empire. A seed planted from something you read in an enlightening book can change all the rules. Something you notice in a magazine or see in a movie can start the launch sequence.
You may not know when the idea emerges. This mystical creature may percolate in the inner tomb of your mind, dancing aimlessly for endless hours—until it’s time to be heard.
Or the idea can collide with you, sending an electrical torpedo through your nervous system and out the top of your head. You are fully aware when these thoughts strike because they have a way of keeping you up at night (whether you want them to or not).
The application of this idea may be presently unknown, but you’re certain things will never be the same.
Either way, when this flash of insight occurs your perspective of the world is forever expanded. You can’t go back. And why would you? You can now handle problems that once appeared insurmountable. The more your life perspective grows, the easier it is to tackle new challenges.
How do you expand your perspective? Embrace a beginner’s mind. Continually ask questions that challenge your understanding. And relentlessly seek out the answers.
The universe is expanding at the speed of light. How fast are you growing?

Thanks for articulating this fabulous concept. I find this happens to me when I read just about anything. This month’s Fast Company p. 71 gave me an image that launched a few great ideas!
