Perspective is everything. It's the lens through which we view our experiences, shape our understanding, and find meaning in the world around us. The true magic of journaling is that it offers a bird's eye view into our own perspectives.

Often, I write down the narratives swirling in my mind, only to discover new insights once they're on paper. For instance, when I'm creatively stuck while designing a new product, my thoughts loop with self-imposed pressure to innovate. This inner dialogue is often negative, racing at a pace I can't sustain.

But when I pause and start writing these thoughts down, the pressure eases. The words lose their power, revealing themselves as rash and fear-driven rather than truth. Journaling transforms my perspective, allowing me to see my challenges with fresh eyes.

Finding new perspectives requires being open-minded, curious, and willing to seek new insights. Feeling stuck? Change your environment. Facing a challenge? Try viewing it from someone else's perspective to gain clarity. The key is to continually find different ways to shift your viewpoint depending on the circumstances. This practice not only broadens your understanding but also transforms your reality.
