I've spent some time in doctors rooms and hospitals recently and none of it has been all that pleasant...but I'm not fucken dead - galenkp

That's me applying perspective I guess, the *it could be worse,* mindset, that helps me work through problems and challenges no matter what they are and to push them towards becoming opportunities instead. It's not always effective, sometimes problems are just problems and they go badly, but by seeing them differently, applying perspective and the positivity that comes from doing so, more often improves the situation over the results that come from a negative mindset and attitude and that's worth it right?

It works for most problems whether health related, relationships, workplace or social and general life issues and I think also for mental health issues that seem to be increasing exponentially. Looking at a thing with perspective can open one to new thoughts and options that may have not present themselves before and when one or more of those gain traction other things follow...attitude and action, or maybe action then attitude, and that's when things start to progress (hopefully) to a satisfactory resolution or a situation that is, at worst, more tenable than that which previously existed. 

Most of the medical rooms I've been in are typically clinical; white, devoid of personality, passionless and pragmatic. There's machines that go beep, medical staff that approach their work with professional efficiency and very little to bring comfort but there's one room that offers a splash of colour, personality and interest that always leaves me thinking about life a little more keenly; you can see a photo I took of the painting in this post. I like this room, at least as much as one can like a medical room.

It's not the most technically correct painting but, like my professional artist father used to say, *there is no bad art, just art,* and this one always helps me to find some perspective when I'm in an otherwise cold and  dispassionate room. I think art is working as it is supposed to if it makes people *feel* and this one, in the situation I'm in when I see it, certainly does that.

I can't quantify the benefit applying perspective has had on my life but I'd say it's been a huge factor in helping me deal with certain happenings externally and how those things have effected me internally which, in turn, effects what I push outwards in turn. It's been a very important aspect of my life and I can't imagine my life without the application of perspective. 

How do you feel applying or failing to apply perspective to your own life has gone for you and what effects, positive or negative, has it had on you either way? Feel free to comment if you'd like to open up and if not that's ok too.
