In this Podcast we talk about: The Farmer’s Fortune Once upon the time there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically. "Perhaps," the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "What great luck!" the neighbors exclaimed. "Perhaps," replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. "Perhaps," answered the farmer.

Every day in both our professional and personal lives, we face challenges, decisions, and situations that cause our stress levels to escalate. The ability to step back and take a different view is a crucial skill for our time. What if by changing our perspective on situations that upset, challenge, or frighten us, we could be happier, more confident, and less stressed? Carrying negative viewpoints saps our energy; it weighs us down both mentally and spiritually. Imagine how you could use that energy in other ways. Perceptions are influenced by a number of factors: experience, personal values, judgments, information (as well as lack of information), and our needs and desires. Yet, it is possible to expand our perception of situations, events, and behaviors by changing our perspective. Changing perspectives is relatively simple, but not necessarily easy. To some extent it is what an enlightened friend of mine called a trick of the mind. The concept of shifting perspectives is a tool that will give you a wider view of most situations you encounter and, with practice, expand the options for how you perceive your world. Research has shown that positive attitudes produce brain chemicals that give us a lift. You'll naturally be calmer and more relaxed when your perspectives shift to a more positive viewpoint.
