For starters: Did you know that there are three (3) sides to a story?
1. Your side.
2. The Truth (#truth).
3. My side.
Notice - #truth takes the middle seat - to address us both. —— Now to the Mindset shift.
Soooo - Google defines ‘Vantage Point‘ - as a place or position affording a good view of something. I’ve attached a photograph - for today’s illustration purposes. Plus - we know that pictures are worth a thousand words.
This morning, I’m sitting on the beach - catching the sunrise & chatting TikTok LIVE. Pose 1: Notice me looking to the ocean and ship. Pose 2: Notice me looking to the ocean & ship with my thumbs up . Pose 3: Notice - I’ve lost sight of the ocean and the ship, because I’m posing for the camera - causing me to place my attention - in the opposite direction (behind me). Regardless - I have a good vantage point in each pose. However, in the last pose, I’ve lost sight of the ocean 🌊.
Here are the nuggets for today - aligned with the Beach - Body 🏖Mindset - Our Vantage Points Matters (ACT IV):
-Are you busy claiming to know what’s going on behind you - while your attention should be forward thinking? If so, please stop. Focus your attention on the beauty ahead - until you are called upon or it’s time to leave. At least, the moments you are spending looking ahead - will be filled with learned opportunities and growth. If on a date - be on the date. If at work - be present at work. If improving your life - take steps and set goals. Just Do It, says NIKE. (btw: I give them a lot of money too.) 😃👆🏽
- Are you believing what you see in front of you - is the same thing the person sees who took the picture? I assure you - that’s not the case. Vantage points - are impacted by where we sit or stand - in our lives - at any given moment. Especially, seeing as how - I closed my eyes during the pic with my thumbs up.
We can’t see everything. Lets respect the #fact that we will miss something & will not know it all. Just be willing to partner with someone and understand their vantage point.
Lastly, In the movie Vantage Point, witnesses in different spots saw things to help unravel the assassination attempt on the U.S. President. So listen to - and - partner with - your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, friend, colleauge, stranger….to get their vantage points - and you will find there exist strength in numbers, which will help to positivity strengthen your Mindset. There will be lots of OOOOOH - I get it! We did that! Gucci!
