Changing Perspectives for the Common Good

There are so many incidents in life that change our perspective now and then. Some of us are rigid to just one opinion while others are open to many possibilities. This is the real gift of life that makes us who we are. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, it doesn’t harm to know other's ideas and possibilities.


What is Emotional Intelligence? 

According to the Oxford Dictionary, it is “the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically”. Now, this is important to have good relationships with others and understand them better. This is also helpful to see their perspective on life.

Emotional intelligence is important for leadership. And if you are the leader, you need to have an open mind to other’s viewpoints. 

How does changing perspective help?

  • It helps in a better understanding

Being open to several viewpoints helps open doors to so many stories- The ones that you didn’t know about before. It may just blow up your mind to know new ways of thinking.

  • Having better relationships

It goes without saying that once you learn about others, have a better understanding of them helps build great relationships. The person sharing and the person listening start having a beautiful rapport.

  • Be good at workplace

Many need to have a good rapport with their colleagues. It helps being open to ideas means having a good business and being strong at networking. This is good for the workplace environment. 

Be empathetic

The secret recipe for understanding new viewpoints is also having a sense of acceptance of others for who they are. Very often, we have people we detest and shun their opinions just because of the way they behave or their deviated personality traits. 

Start by embracing people for who they are. You don’t know what they have been through or how bright an idea they can come up with. Give them a chance. This is a form of a spiritual step towards people around you. 

Every person on this earth has a so many stories of life and knowing their perspective would be a plus point. Be empathetic at every step among other things to explore. It would be a blessing in this world to have people who understand other’s point of view genuinely, without any ulterior motive.

Having Grit and Exploring Spiritual Feelings

Resilience is bouncing back from any hardships that any person may face in life, coming back stronger, mentally, and physically from that hardship and moving on to make a more meaningful life. Grit refers to the willpower that an individual shows in pursuing his long-term goals. For any person to demonstrate resilience and high grit, he should have a  positive   orientation in life with profound values and purpose through which they attain meaning in life. It can be assumed that if the level of mysticism/spirituality would below, there will be low grit as well as low resilience observed.  Spirituality is a private belief that acts as a sieve through which an individual perceives and understands the world. It influences how they live, how they react to stressful situations, how well, and how speedily he recovers from moving strain. It gives a sense of meaning to this  gift of life  and may or may not contain belief in higher divine supremacy. People with a sp...

What are the odds?

What are the odds that we were born on this planet? What are the odds that there is life beyond this galaxy? What are the odds of getting the coronavirus again even after the vaccine is made? There are questions that we all crave answers for. While some will answer what you want to hear, the  positive , others will be objectively answering it. Biomedical research habitually focuses on the discovery of relationships (associations) between variables (phenomena or attributes). It is significant to note that association may or may not signify a causal relationship. This depends on numerous factors.    This is the  gift of life   that everyone needs to accept no matter what the answers. You are here and will be here for as long as your life permits.    Coincidence or accident?   Many believe in serendipity, signs, telepathy, things that are beyond our explanation. Some believe in the  power of now .  it is said that there is a w...

What is a Meaningful Life?

Some people seem to spend their whole lives disgruntled, in search of a reason, a  positive   purpose. Philosopher Iddo Landau advocates that all of us have everything we need for a significantly meaningful existence. A meaningful life is one in which there are enough aspects of adequate value, and pointless life is one in which there is not a satisfactory number of aspects of sufficient value.  Simplicity    For a life to be precious, or important, it needn’t have to be unique. Believing that specialness is tied to meaning is another error many people make. This mistaken belief leads some people to unreasonably see their lives as inadequately meaningful and to miss ways of enhancing meaning in life. They forget the  power of now   and this  gift of life .    We move, we meet new kind people, have fresh experiences, bump into new ideas, and age. As we change, our values alter, and so does our sense of purpose in life, which w...
