Perspectives

Monday, April 22, 2024

A beautiful morning. Today’s header photo shows Maxwell having an early view.

Last night, I got caught up in my tendency to make impulsive decisions. I’m not fond of that quality, having learned that impulsive decisions don’t necessarily work out as I might have wished. Actually, last night, I wanted to look forward realistically and make some meaningful plans for the future.

That forced me to pause and think about my perspectives and outlooks. Clearly, the two are closely related and interact constantly. Focusing on perspective, I think, is a way of essentially self-assessing, in other words, self-informing, to grasp my key attitudes and expectations. An understanding of the two opens a personal baseline, which moves thinking forward and helps with planning for new directions logically.

That’s much better than deciding impulsively, emotionally, and on the spot. In other words, by planning based on perspective and outlook, and combining hope and imagination, I’ll be able to anticipate a more achievable future.

Dear Friends: I’ll have to remember all that and plan accordingly in the future. Diana
