our differences ARE our strengths

Hi everyone. I was thinking today about perspective. Today, while driving around with Steve, it was clear that we saw many things differently, even though we saw much the same. It seems that we let our differences be a "bad" thing. A thing that separates us.

But really, we CAN learn from our differences. The different ways we SEE the world.

Have you ever been on your back, in the grass, looking up at the clouds? You see shapes, animals, patterns, etc. Have you done this with someone next to you? They tell you what THEY see, and point it out to you. Now you see it. You point out to them what YOU see, and then THEY can see it.

Isn't it nicer to see two things? See what your friend sees?

But aside from clouds, how often do we do this? Do we ever stop to ask in an argument, why do YOU think you are right, because you obviously believe you are. Who would argue if they thought they were wrong? Both argue because both think they are right. And from their perspective, they are.

So let's stop and ask that question. Why do you think you are right? And really LISTEN to their answer. Maybe, like with the clouds, you'll see a heart, where before you saw nothing.
