Seeing through thinking : How perspective skills expands potential of life!

The term "prospective" already indicates having different dimensions and angles of people’s minds. Although a set of people can have a similar goal but how they interpret the same scenario is completely different based on their experience of life.

According to me, these are my topmost areas of thinking that solve various problems in life, If we have perspective skills.

🌥️ Active listening : By listening attentively and without interruption. Active listening gives us a perspective of how a person might be feeling in a certain situation. Knowing that gives us the opportunity to find out specific ways of coping.

🌥️ Open mindness: understanding the diversity of human life experience leads to open mindness. This is a crucial prospective skill to have. Especially to show empathy and compassion.  

🌥️ Conflict resolution : When we understand the different perspectives of people involved in a conflict, it helps us to negotiate and reach a common ground that works for everyone.

To reflect ask yourself these questions

📌 what was your recent disagreement with someone and how might your perspective can be different from theirs? would learning that can resolve this conflict?

📌 Imagine you are going to a different country. How did your perspective change after interacting with them ?

📌 what was your recent disagreement with someone and how might your perspective can be different from theirs? would learning that can resolve this conflict?

-> In the workplace I had an argument with my colleague about hosting an event on the weekend in the office. We both were not ready for it and we were not reaching to a conclusion.

We both highly prioritized our own tasks at home and thought their side of the task was not as important as my side of the task. Understanding this made us realize that, we can take a shift. Doing it this time will free us next weekend which we can use for ourselves. Eventually one of us was ready to come forward and take the lead.

📌 Imagine you are going to a different country. How did your perspective change after interacting with them

-> I went to a place for a month. I needed a certain kind of famous woolen sweater. I could not find something I liked in that shop. I was not sure how a shopkeeper would respond If I asked them about another shopkeeper in the town. But it turns out that, they could see I was a tourist and they were willing to help me by telling me the address of other markets in the town.
