Change Perspectives

"Things Can Only Get Better" by Howard Jones

Do you know this '80's song?

🎶

Things can only get better.

I was having a rough "go" last Friday afternoon with a pile of life weighing me down. It felt like a big, heavy pile. 🪨 This song played on my playlist. The timing was serendipitous. I had not hit the bottom, although I had hit a pretty low point for me. I considered this song's chorus, things CAN only get better.

I took a deep breath and started the process to change perspectives. I choose to embrace the opportunity to look at my situation in a different way. The shift took time and it started with hearing this song and making a choice.

Music has an intriguing way of influencing my life.

👉 Bringing back memories

👉 Providing motivation

👉 Increasing energy

👉 Slowing me down

👉 Helping me shift my perspective

Looking at circumstances through a different lens can shine a light on possibilities you might not otherwise consider. Some possibilities are dead ends and not what resonates with you. Most often, one possibility shines more brightly than the others. That's the one worth exploring to discover something better.

Music works for me.

What is something that helps you to change perspectives? What does it take to connect with that something?

Create your life.
