Other Points of View

"There are other points of view that are not about suffering." ~ Matías De Stefano

I heard this statement, and I instantly connected with it. My guess is most people would say there is a lot of suffering in the world. And maybe there is. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Emotions, mental, and physical pain keep us trapped from thriving, being happy, and feeling fulfilled with peace and ease.

All of the pain, struggles, and hardships become a mainstream way of connecting with others who are also in pain, struggling, and experiencing hardships. The point of view of someone who has it easy is said to come with special privileges. We knock them down with assumptions about how they got their wealth, status, and successful life. Yet what if they are there to be examples of what is possible?

People get so caught up in their own reality that they can't fathom that maybe there's another way to live life that doesn't require so much pain and suffering. I'm not saying this is wrong, just unknowing.

Life doesn't have to be so hard.

Life doesn't have to be so painful.

Life doesn't have to be such a struggle.

Instead, Life can be bliss.

Life can be fun.

Life can be easy.

If things aren't going the way you'd like them to, ask yourself this question. "What's the other point of view on this situation that I'm not seeing?"

I know this can be a challenging question to ask when we're in the thick of things. And you might not get an answer right away. But just by being open to a new way of seeing things, you open doors to insights, compassion, understanding, empathy, and relief.

Suffering doesn't have to be your whole life story. You can break the cycle. There is a way to live in ease and peace, with creativity, love, and joy. It just takes the willingness to see the other points of view.

With lots of LOVE,
Teresa
