Sometimes all we need is a reset. A new beginning, fresh start, a transformed perspective.

Do you remember those pictures that used to make their way around from time to time and looked

pretty obvious at first glance. But if you

really examined it, you would see that the picture of the young woman or whatever it was,

was also an older woman, right, differing based on how you looked at the lines. And depending on who

was looking, they might have a proclivity towards seeing one or the other.

But when made aware of the picture's duality, they could always see both.

Okay, and there's something to this.

This idea is something we should lean on, because I'll tell you what.

Sometimes our natural proclivity is to see the thing that's not helpful. The first thing we see

is an excuse or self-pity. The first thing we see is a list of insecurities or doubts.

And we have to remember to take a step back and look again, to examine harder.

Because it's amazing how differently things evolve when you make a point to see their value.

For example, let's say someone has something you want. Something you wished was yours.

Maybe your default is, you know, you are less than.

Your life is not what it should be, but if you step back and looked again, you would see a few things.

One, we're all running different races.

You're competing against you, not anyone else.

Two, think about everything you do have that someone else would give anything for.

And three, if you truly do want that thing, how about applauding yourself for having goals,

for having desires, for wanting to push the boundaries of life.

Now the question is, can you seek to truly understand what that desire is and map out your path to bring it into existence?
