To find a way out of a tough situation, you have to step outside yourself.
There are many ways to do this:
Take your situation to the edge of absurdity.
Roll back to the starting point.
Imagine you’re someone else.
Picture yourself in the future.
Dive into the here and now.
Turn yourself inside out.
Merge with the question.
Embody the ideal.
Step aside.
The problem is like an optical illusion. You stare at the picture, but all you see is an old woman. And then—bam! A beautiful lady appears, and once you see her, you can’t unsee her.
The picture hasn’t changed. What changed? Just your perspective.
Now, you can even switch between “modes” at will.
Notice there’s been growth. You haven’t lost anything, and you can still remember the struggle of being stuck. This helps you empathize with others still in that “before” state.
So don’t be afraid to let go of a familiar worldview. Wade confidently into the refreshing waters of new ideas. Chances are, there won’t be a breakdown or replacement, but synthesis and integration.
You’ll enrich yourself, adding a new facet to your inner diamond.
Inside, you’re a little freer.
Instead of a captive’s, you now have a creator’s eyes.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
