'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes” Marcel Proust

Driving a known route creates familiarity and I sometimes miss what is new because I'm so used to it.

I caught a bus recently to go to Hamilton, a route I am very familiar with.

I was fascinated and entertained by how much I'd missed when I was driving a car.

The bus was higher, I saw more of the landscape, new views and a bigger perspective; and I could focus more because I wasn't driving.

All of this came about merely by changing the way I was looking at the passing scenery.

If we treat life in the same way and realise everything that happens to us has been designed to teach us what we need to know on our journey, we begin to make choices that can create entirely different perspectives.

Question: What questions could you ask yourself that would give you a new perspective on familiar situations?
