Perspective is a unique and fascinating aspect of human beings. Every eye, every mind sees things through a different angle. As we grow, every cell in our body changes so does out perspective towards things. In today’s digital age every person has so many things to share, so many perspectives. We as consumers relate some of the content and or retain some perspectives we see.

But my real question is, Is there a right way? Or will your way of seeing things help me in any way? I recently finished a book named Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck. She talks of growth and fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is one which relates things based on talent, if you are best at it, you will be at the top. While a growth mindset takes every challenge as a medium to grow and learn. Now, Dr. Carol iterates that a growth mindset will help us in the long run in various areas of our lives be it personal or professional. Fixed mindset brings you difficulty to face challenges and eventually you reach a plateau than exercising your full potential. How can we be sure of what works best for us? What kind of outlook to life will bring us to a better state than today? Sometimes life seems meaningless as whichever outlook you choose, what is meant to happen will happen. Now, here the catch is, every outlook brings you a suiting reaction to a particular situation you’re dealing with. Maybe life is not about meaning its about our reaction to the journey we unfold.

So, there really isn’t a right way to live or the right choice that changes your life? No, there isn’t! Someone wise once told me “You just got to float in life”. Perhaps it’s more about embracing than changing.

How would I know, I too am penning down my introspection towards life. Some might agree, some might not.

Does this mean that we should stop and just live through what’s coming and going on presently? The journey leads us to multiple destinations based on our work and consistency of today. If we work and develop few atomic habits that really give us a sense of fulfilment and purpose, the life we have on Earth might be a little joyous. The ups and downs make us who we are and most importantly how we respond to them steers our direction.

Make sense? Well, let’s just say I wish all those who read this article specially those struggling to understand their purpose in life, might come to terms that it’s okay to be where you are and everything will eventually make some sense, if not all.

Also, if you feel otherwise, I would love to hear your philosophy of life and choices.
