Transcript

In this video, we're going to talk about how to keep things in perspective. So this is extremely important here because you want to be able to oftentimes zoom out and look at the big picture here. Because we tend to get lost in the small details, and tend to make, you know, huge deals out of minor things. And it really causes us to get bogged down in the details. So as you learn to put things in perspective, and take things from a 50,000 foot view, right, and not just dwell in the details and get lost in the details, you're going to be able to have a more positive outlook on things because it's going to completely change your perspective. So let's go right ahead and jump into this here.

So just think about this. If you're not confident yet in a particular area. Well just put it into perspective, right. As I previously mentioned, we tend to blow things way out of proportion unconsciously on a regular basis, right. A lot of people tend to worry about things Unnecessarily and it's most likely caused by a little tiny thing being blown out of proportion, and it just becomes this huge headache, right? So, try this for a moment, visualize the entire Earth, okay?

Then picture yourself where you're at on the earth, okay? Now look at yourself from up above 10 feet above your body, okay? And you're looking down at yourself. Now as you do this, notice how you see in your peripherals, your surroundings, okay? Now imagine from a higher perspective, to the point where you can see yourself amongst the entire city, right and see everything together all at once, okay? Because when you do this, it changes your perspective on things and prevents you from blowing things out of proportion because it shows you that you're just this small little piece, this small little person, right, almost insignificant in comparison to you know, the entire world or the entire universe, right.

So continue to zoom upward while look Down to yourself. And you can see yourself waving at you up in the sky as you look down at the entire region. Okay? Now notice how this begins to change your perspective on the problem or on a situation that you're maybe blowing out of proportion at this particular moment, right? So zoom out all the way until you see your entire country, and they see the entire earth and keep in perspective, your size, relevant to the rest of the earth. And as you begin to put things in perspective, you begin to realize the true significance of them in your life, right?

You'll find yourself less stressed about trivial things, because ultimately, at the end of the day, and I don't even remember who said this, but remember, somebody said, in the cosmos of time, you're not even a fart in the wind. I mean, as funny as that sounds, it's just like, because our problems we think they're these huge, huge, you know, deals and these things that are just like immovable objects, they can never be handled or all this stuff frame Really, like, hard problems are just so insignificant to the rest of the world, the rest of the universe. So it's just ultimately at the end of the day, it's not that big of a deal, right? So, let's walk through the eight steps here to put things in perspective process. So number one, you want to imagine yourself getting into a helicopter, zooming around and visit all your friends and family.

And then notice that they have problems, goals, hopes, dreams, wishes and fears, just like you. And then number two, zoom out further in your helicopter. And notice all the people in your city and notice yourself as just one individual amongst them, okay? Now each of them has problems, goals, hopes, dreams, wishes, right? Just like you. Now zoom back into yourself and notice a difference in perspective that you have about your problems already, right?

Or maybe you have a specific problem that you're thinking about, and zoom back out to your friends, your city. Your region, and now your state. And then notice all the people in your entire state all at once. And notice how you're just one out of all those people. Okay? And then number five, imagine yourself getting into a spaceship, and then zooming out until you can see the entire country of people.

And you're just one of them, right? You're just dwelling on this little event in your life. Now, each and every one of those people has problems, goals, hopes, dreams, wishes and fears, just like you. Number six, zoom all the way back into yourself. And notice how that problem is even further in a more manageable perspective and how it has already changed. Number seven, get back in your spaceship and zoom all the way out until you can view the earth at its entirety.

Imagine you can see all 6 billion people in the planet smiling and waving at you listen to them and say, hey, it's no big deal. You're one person of 6 billion Now notice how the issue the problem, the event, whatever you're going through has changed. So anytime you have any kind of problem issue, you're going through something, maybe you had a bad event or had a bad experience, and you're making a big deal out of it. Go through this technique here through this process of being able to put things in perspective and see them. You know what, it's really not that big of a deal, right? It's about putting things in perspective.

So that's gonna be it here for this video, and we'll see you on the next one.
