WHAT YOU SEE IS DEPENDENT ON WHERE YOU STAND.

in #motivation7 years ago

Life is a moderate mixture of everything with an expectation of just one important thing.
YOUR FORESIGHT

Your foresight is your ability to see beyond your present state, gaze at the future and use it to your advantage. I prefer to describe ones foresight as his it her mental image of themselves. How we see ourselves determines how we live, act and communicate to the world.

Our standpoint is of optimum important when considering our foresight. To enjoy a wider view of an island, you need to increase your altitude You have to leave where you are and desire to stand on a higher ground.

i would love to site an example to further explain the importance of our stand point when considering our foresight

   In the picture above are three men (Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C). Mr. A and Mr. B are facing each other, while Mr. C is behind Mr. B. 
 A questionnaire is handed over to Mr. A and Mr. C, asking them the following :

 1) How many eyes of Mr. B can you see? 
 2) How many nose outlet of Mr. B can you see? 
3) How many ears of Mr. B can you see? 
4) How many mouth of Mr. B can you see? 

MR. A ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS :

  1. I can see 2 eyes
  2. I can see 2 nose outlet
  3. I can see 2 ears
  4. I can see 1 mouth

MR. C ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS:

  1. I can see NO eye
  2. I can see NO nose outlet
  3. I can see 2 ears
  4. I can see NO mouth

If you observe closely, their answers are quite different. Mr.. B actually has 2 eye, 2 nose outlet, 2 ear, and 1 mouth. The only person who got it all right was Mr. A and that is a result of where he stood. Mr. C answers could make one believe Mr. A is an alien or something that was created to scare children. He couldn't see rightly because he was in the wrong position to answer those questions .

This example brings us to the reality of life, we most time judge situations from a wrong stand point. We most times speak and see less of ourselves and ultimately we become what we see and speak of ourselves. It is important that we have a good view of ourselves, our situation and why ever is handed to us.

The world richest men weren't all born with a silver spoon at hand, they had to go get it for them selves. They weren't made out of rosy situations and easy choices but difficult situations and hard choices. How they saw themselves mattered the most to what ever they have become or they became.

 When a farmer is given an empty piece of land, all he see is a land filled with green lives. He sees the land for what it is yet to be and that Is what gives him the drive to create what his mental picture into a reality. 

Most times we find ourselves in difficult situation and feel like giving up but remember pure gold is made form immense heat and fire. We should look beyond our situation and see a positive end, and make a step by step plan toward achieving our desired result, and the end result can only be good.
Your thought is what determines your circumstances. What you think of yourself is what you become.

FROM MY STAND POINT AS A CHRISTAIN

  It is important that we see ourselves from the same lens God sees us. Whenever he sees us, he sees his children, one he sacrificed his only son for. 
When things seem to go bad, we should always remember that the Bible says, *"all things work together for our good"*. So no matter what goes on around us, it is important that we be of good cheer, knowing that all things will work in our favour.

Form now on, see yourself as a winner only, one who can conquer any barrier set before him and win, is the only thing you will do.
