Let’s not forget.

No matter the situation everyone, and I mean everyone, has a perspective.

Especially when you feel your opinion is being overlooked you will wish others were asking for your perspective. It is up to you to constantly remember that and seek out the perspectives of others.

You may have to seek it out, a perspective is not something that just falls from the sky and lands in your lap. It something that can be as difficult as pulling teeth. But getting that perspective, at least asking for it, is up to you.

I’m reminded of this because most recently I was in a situation where I didn’t seek to see someones perspective and I thought I knew very clearly what was going on, when in reality I did not. I learned that I should have asked, probed and sought out their perspective.
