Getting Perspective

Stepping away may be necessary to gain some perspective. We can get too close to our own choices. We lose track of the destinations for which we are enduring each step and get lost along the way. We miss the future disoriented by the present. Conversely, we might be so focused on a dream conjured early in the journey that we fail to learn from the clues life’s bumps and jolts provide. Lessons that might have served to inform and refine the dream. We miss the present in service of the future. Either way we are not serving ourselves well. Either way finding ways to step back and get some perspective is essential.
