Do you see the other side?

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for." 
                  -John Lubbock

The advice I most often receive: "You need to change your perspective. "

Look at the two photographs. The same subject with slight changes. You are automatically inclined to like one more than the other. Look at the one that appeals to you more. Why does it have more appeal? What does the other lack?
Now, pretend that the one you like less is your favorite. Ask yourself the same questions, why does it have more appeal and what does the other lack?
You have just changed your perspective.
Imagine the possibilities if you could do this with every instance in your life. Just because I can now appreciate both sets of roses does not mean I have changed my mind on which is my favorite. Changing your perspective doesn't mean you have to change your mind. Two words come to my mind when I think of Perspective. Compassion and Empathy.
