One of my greatest blessings is also one of my greatest curses: that I can see & understand completely different & opposite perspectives.
Though I have my position, that I see & understand the opposite perspective doesn’t mean I agree with it.
This gives me patience

It forces me to wait and get as much information as possible, to stand in their shoes of everyone & feel their pain, anger or joy.
Then, I am able to engage them at their own level even if I dislike or disagree with them
It helps me separate the person from their circumstance

It’s not easy accepting that what you see or hear is not what is mean and it certainly isn’t easy bringing balance to those who are convinced that their senses are always correct.
We can both see or hear the same thing and yet, sense or perceive entire different messages

Perspective matters.
There’s isn’t a prize in jumping to conclusions. If you wait and end up being correct, have you lost anything?
But if you wait and gain more information have make a better informed decision, isn’t that a prize in itself?
Always aim to gain perspective!
