Distorted Perspectives, Other Perspectives, The Perspective

I have a poster in my office that says, “Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change.”  Every day we solve problems. Problem solving skills begin developing at an early age, and we continue to use them throughout our life. Problems arise when we try to solve a problem by relying on a perspective that has been distorted by a negative experience in our past.

When I am trying to solve a problem in my life with a distorted perspective, I immediately begin feeling unrest. The ultimate problem solving skill is to recogize the unrest, and begin seeking the positive perspective of others (Romans 1:11) and THE perspective of a God who sees it all (Proverbs 3:5-6). Truth is, at the point of unrest, I am carrying the burden of a limited and negative perspective. That perspective keeps me in a place of emotional and spiritual anguish (and many times physical). The more I carry that burden, the more anxious and fearful I become.  Jesus asks us to join him in His perspective. In Matthew 11:29, Jesus said, “Place my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls.”
