Retail Price: $100
In the realm of our minds lies the POINT OF VIEW. At first glance, it may seem insignificant, just an idea among countless others. But there is a profound truth hidden within its essence. You see, a POINT OF VIEW is not just a name, it is a gateway to understanding our personal perceptions.
When we dare to alter our point of view, the world before us transforms. It is as if a veil is lifted, revealing new perspectives and untold wonders. The journey to this revelation, however, is not without its challenges. At times, we find ourselves encircled by barriers, unable to perceive from a distance. In those moments, it is crucial to acknowledge the unseen, the obstacles we can neither comprehend nor control.
It is tempting to pass judgment swiftly, guided by limited knowledge of a single facet of reality. Yet, we must resist this urge, for the truth encompasses more than meets the eye. Imagine, if you will, looking upon this enigmatic bead, pondering its essence. Do you see waves? Stripes? Perhaps something entirely different? The answer is yes; it is all of the above and more. The closer you scrutinize, the more patterns emerge, and the greater your understanding becomes.
As the plot thickens, a revelation dawns—the more we explore, the less we judge, and the more beauty we find. Let us refrain from labeling, for a POINT OF VIEW remains just that a point of view—an elusive enigma, forever evading definition. And within this realization lies the profound truth: life's beauty lies not in precise definitions but in the boundless exploration of its mysteries.
So, let us take this path together, unlocking the potential of our ever-evolving perceptions. Embrace the calm hopefulness that guides us forward, the conviction that a shift in our internal landscapes can usher in a brighter world. May we be forever receptive to the wisdom that a multifaceted POINT OF VIEW bestows upon us, and in its complexity, find the simplicity of true beauty.
GOTM NO. 27 Shift Of Perspective
Retail Price: $75
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. It's not what we own, but how we feel about what we have. Happy? Keep going. If you feel stressed and uneasy, it's time for a change. Consumerism exists in all aspects of our lives from food to clothing, in all sorts of accessories and an excessive number of hobbies. How can we keep enjoying ourselves when too much stuff takes over and clouds our judgment about the present moment?
Shifting perspectives help change our point of view. Expanding a point of view is a powerful skill key in problem-solving, decision-making, and personal growth. By seeing things from a different angle, we can challenge our assumptions, broaden our understanding, and gain a more nuanced and accurate view of the world around us. Are you ready for a change? Ask yourself, what is it you truly want?
You have beads. There are not too many. Each one is a treasure! Are you content? If yes, keep collecting. If not, ask yourself - why? What do you really want? Maybe too many purples are not really your thing. Maybe it's time to start collecting greens and yellows and focus on your solar plexus. Find your 'why' to keep going. And don't forget to share. Reduce. Reuse. Regift!
