If you are too close to something it is impossible for you to see it for what it really is.
In order for you to see the truth of anything you must be able to step back and observe the perspective of the full picture.
Too many opportunities are missed by people that fail to widen their perspective and remain narrow minded.
Opening your mind to possibilities that you have never considered may show you that exactly what you are looking for is much closer than you expected, just in a different place or form.
The ability to shift perspective in awareness, to access and observe things through a meta-awareness, is a true super power of consciousness.
Expanding consciousness and the development of understanding one's self is the most profound exploration one can embark upon.
