Perspective

What do you see? Yellow and black? Granules? With such a narrow view do you really know what you are looking at?

This is a close up of a bee smothered in pollen.  You see his eye and the center of his face covered with granules of yellow pollen.

I saw this concept in a movie and it really struck me...Perspective.  What is your perspective?  When we look at things with narrow, close up vision, it is sometimes hard to gain a proper perspective. It is hard to see what we are really looking at. 

Perspective is defined as a mental view or outlook.  Simply, it is the way we look at or perceive things.  A person's perspective can be changed by looking at a situation from a broader glance.  It often means taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. 

If you are stuck and not sure of how to handle a certain situation and your are looking at it head on, up close...try pulling back a bit and looking at the situation in a bigger context.  You will probably gain a new perspective....you will not just see a  black and yellow image...you will see a bee collecting pollen to make sweet honey.

A penny will hide the biggest star in the Universe if you hold it close enough to your eye.  ~Samuel Grafton
