Change your point of view

The following was posted by Allan Passos and I thought it was very interesting and timely. This picture is real and was not edited, the stone is real, the trees are real, the soil is real and the sky is real.

 

This looks like an unbelievable shot, but there is no trick here, there is no special editing nothing was done to make the image appear this way. When I first saw the picture, I was amazed and then confused, I wondered how did the photographer make this stone become suspended in mid-air I suspect you may be wondering the same thing as I did.

To see the picture as it should be all you have to do is to change your point of view.

You see! Our reality is what we make it, sometimes the situation is not so bad as you think it is, but because of your point of view (your vision) things is out of perspective with the reality of things.

We sometimes get caught thinking all is not well in our world as our perception of events is not the reality of what is happening. Take the time to step back and look at the world through a different perspective, which may mean that you have to turn your world upside down to see what is really happening. Easier said than done, of course. 

Turning your world upside down may mean starting by questioning the assumptions you believe. Retirement is a time for renewal and a time to start to question your assumptions and your reality. For over 40 years your reality has been shaped around work, family and leisure. When you retire your reality will be shaped by leisure and family and maybe work. Accepting that fact means that you are on the first step to turning your world upside down.

Here are two more pics that show that turning your world upside down can lead to some interesting ideas.
