Description
A couple are trying to avoid divorce, but they have no compelling vision. They are burdened down "managing" a family. And they take no time to create a compelling future.
Expanding perspective by 5% causes effectiveness to double.
Looking through your spouse's eyes (seeking to understand before being understood*) is a great way to expand perspective.
Expanding our vision causes us to overcome the inertia of proximity to our problems. Oftentimes the closeness of our problems causes us to feel overwhelmed and dejected.
Looking at our problems with a Seuratesque perspective causes hope to soar. Standing back a little to view art is a lot like life. We see the big beautiful picture by simply expanding our vision. Similarly, looking too closely at a piece of art causes catatonic confusion.
Don't get overwhelmed by clinging too tightly to the present. Find hope in creating a combined, compelling 220px-Contacteye future.
What is your ideal image for your family?
Your finances?
How could you expand your mutual vision?
(*HT to Stephen R. Covey)
