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.

Where is the Love?

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around. It talks about the real side of the world- the media, racism, money, etc. Why are we talking about the song? It’s because the lyrics still apply for today.

Can being “Positive” feel Forced?

We are in a world where there is a lot of negativity. Staying positive is the new trend. As much as it sounds good, sometimes it may feel forced. The very pressure of staying positive becomes a bit much when it isn’t like that in their real world. There is this one  gift of life   where one should feel just as they do, instead of what others want them to.  What is forced or toxic positivity?   Forced positivity is the thought that people dealing with a disease need to continually portray themselves in an optimistic mood or light, and that thinking “on the bright side” will help with the hurt.
