What Side of the Fence Are You On?

You know, there’s a lot that depends on your answer to the title question.  To begin with, your perspective can be drastically different from one side to the other.  And as a result, the choices that seem “right” can change as well.  What seems like the right choice on one side, can seem totally wrong on the other.

Why am I bringing this up?  Because I think it can be way too easy to stand in judgement and assume that my perspective in any given moment is the absolute right one.  And while it might be right for me, given my circumstances and posture at the time, it doesn’t mean that it’s aboslutely right for anyone, anywhere at any given time.

Embracing the idea that perspective counts for a lot when it comes to decision-making, can really liberate  your thinking.  It opens up possibilities, not the least of which is the possibility that you and I can view things differently and it’s okay.  We can choose different things and it’s okay.  Heck, we can even choose to disagree, and IT”S OKAY!

Bottom-line:  know which side of the fence you’re on, understand that your perspectives and ideas come from this side, and allow others to enjoy their side.  And be open to the idea that you can change sides whenever you want.  You’d be amazed at what becomes possible.
