We do live in a wonderful world, sometimes we just need to look past the day to day annoyances to allow us to view to its fullest. If we can see things through others eyes, or change the way we view things, such as turning an irritation into a fascination, we would become more relaxed, accepting and happier with our world.
There is an old saying that goes, “walk in someone’s shoes before you judge them”. So maybe when someone has a very annoying habit which really gets under your skin, think instead, wow, how can that person keep up that behaviour for so long and not realise they are doing it, how interesting? Or the neighbour’s dog which constantly barks, driving us all to distraction ~ how fascinating that it has such stamina and doesn’t loose its voice, it can even have an amusing side, if you choose to see it! It’s entirely up to you.
How we view things can have so much effect on how we treat others and live our own lives. In other words, what is your perception? Do you find yourself quickly judging, arguing a point that someone has made, not really listening to what is being said, being narrow minded? Learn to listen to the whole argument; everyone has the right to voice his or her opinion. And remember that your way is not the only way.
