How to Manage Different Perspectives

Yeah.

And this is such an important lesson in life.

I know we want everyone around us to see it from our perspective.

It makes the most sense.

It's just completely logical.

I don't even understand how a person could possibly even have it another perspective than this.

This is common sense.

But they do.

Finding your tribe in life will only get you so far.

I was very, very curious of why half of the world was seeing it differently than I was.

And I said to myself, I want to try to change the world.

I want to try to bring the world together.

And I know what I'm up against.

I know that this world is so divided on so many different levels.

But why does everything need to be a fight with all of us? So I said to myself, I came to this new area where everyone's political views were the complete opposite of mine.

I started to hang out with the people that were around me that were different than I did.

And you know what? I actually started to hang out with them more.

And I started to listen to their values and beliefs and realize that they were raised so much differently than I was.

I can understand where they were coming in that portion of their life to get to that spot.

And as hard as it was for me, I wanted to correct them.

I wanted to belittle them.

I wanted to fight with them.

But instead, I asked questions.

And not questions so I can set them up, so I can make them look foolish, but real true questions so I can gain the knowledge of why they chose this political view, this belief in life.

It's been completely rewarding to be around so many people that thought differently than I did.
