Day 1504: Problems and Perspective

When you look at the bigger scheme of things the things you thing are important seem so small – that’s what I keep realizing.

It’s 3 : 53 PM on day 1504 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Ecclesiastes 11, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature,  feed myself Puttu – a breakfast dish of steamed cylinders of ground rice layered with coconut – and chickpea curry for breakfast and chat to friends and family.

 

Today I was freaking out about something and then I thought about somebody who was going through something way worse which made me realize my big problem isn’t so big after all. Does perspective make you realize the big things in your life aren’t so big after all?

    Perspective may allow you to adjust your response and feelings about what is happening to you.
