Have you ever wondered if you’re looking in the right place? This episode is all about change—about shifting your perspective and focus. As we transition from summer to autumn, I’ve noticed the temperature in my house dropping. At 18 degrees, it feels chilly now, but in the winter, 18 degrees feels just fine. It’s all about what we’re used to, right?
This shift in focus is something I see often in coaching conversations. People frequently think they want something, but it’s not what they actually need. Take money, for example. Sometimes, I look at my bank balance and feel secure, and other times, the same number makes me feel uneasy. It’s all about perspective and how we view our resources.
We need to look in the right place.
One of my clients recently sought support from a friend for a particular problem. It became clear that the friend couldn’t provide the needed support, but within an hour, the client had a new idea that could solve the problem. By looking in a different place, they found a new opportunity and took action. It was a fantastic result, and the universe seemed to align everything perfectly.
My wife had a similar experience during a meditation session. She noticed the keys on her keyboard—shift, enter, backspace—and realized that shifting our perspective allows us to re-enter situations with new capacities. Fresh thinking and new ideas often come from looking at things differently.
Einstein once said you can’t solve a problem with the same thinking that got you there. So, if you have a recurring problem or something you’d like to change, try looking at it from a new perspective. Sometimes, this means making difficult decisions, but freedom often comes after those tough choices.
Remember, life is an adventure, and you are the principal character. Seeing yourself as the hero of your story can fundamentally change how you treat yourself and your life. So, where are you looking? Are you looking in the right place to solve your current problems?
