Talking snakes tell us loads about perspective & our worldview
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication, Humor & comedy
I love this Speedbump comic because it so elegantly points out how one person’s perspective can seem ‘normal, natural and right’ and yet that very same perspective can seem ‘abnormal, unnatural and wrong’ to someone else. Like religion. Like politics. Like Life Lenses™. To a carrot Life Lens™, the sweeping ability of a mountain Life […]

People who say they sleep like a baby don’t have one

I passed this sign driving out to visit my brother & nephew a while back. I laughed so hard, I turned around, drove back & took a picture. Perspective – it’s a tricky thing.

What’s odd about these oddfellows?
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication
I picked up this postcard from the same-named restaurant when I was out with some good pals in Seattle. Do you think these fellows are odd? How do you think they’d view you? It’s all a matter of perspective. What’s one person’s trash is another’s treasure. What’s normal to you may be off the scale […]

What’s your problem? Much ado about everything
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Diversity & culture
‘No man thinks there is much ado about nothing when the ado is about himself.’ Anthony Trollope (1815-82), Victorian novelist And with that one short phrase we have an incisive look into the human condition.

Check your perspective at the door. Literally. Watch the clip below up to 58 seconds. Then stop. Ask yourself what you’d do. Then continue. Perspective – it’s a noose around our neck or a world enhancing view. ~~TGIF- each Friday I rejig & re-post a blog entry from my www.life-lenses.com blog, which is about enhancing […]

Change your seat, change your view – how about this chair?
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness
We have an unparalleled ability to analyze, create, cogitate and ruminate. That very ability can get us in trouble if our view or perspective is slanted. Take a look.
