Seeing things from a different perspective in life can give us a unique understanding of various factors from specific points of view. Having a perspective suitable for the expected outcome can create feelings of positivity and provide an optimistic outlook on life. During the springtime, when you tell yourself that there will be brighter days, that is a matter of perspective and fact when you consider the longer days and warmer temperatures that spring brings.
No longer will it be getting dark outside in the late afternoon, and we can now wake up hearing the birds chirping, with the days being brighter for extended periods of time. Although this is true, it is also a matter of perspective.
As March comes to an end, and spring has just begun, here are three ways to “March” into spring with a new perspective.
1. Surround yourself with positivity
In the spring, we start to see different beautiful flowers make their debut. Some of us enjoy gardening and planting them, while others enjoy the view and watching them add beauty to this world. Just as flowers are beginning to bloom, it’s nature’s way of showing us that we must also blossom and grow, despite any situation that may come our way.
We must flourish and find a way to bloom. In doing so, we have to surround ourselves with positivity to reach our full potential and ignore any naysayers along the way. Surround yourself with the beauty of positivity, which could include positive words, people or intentions. Staying positive is essential in life and provides us with the confidence to face each new day.
2. Do it anyways
During the springtime, the first alarm we often hear in the morning is an assured chirping bird outside our windowsill. Nobody asked the birds to sing at the break of dawn, but they sing their melodious songs, anyways. They don’t need anyone’s approval to start chirping. We have to be more like the positive birds that are singing for the world to hear, even if not asked for. Be bold and fearless. Do it anyways.
If there is something we want to say or do, that is positive or rightfully so, we should do it anyways, regardless of what others think. Overall, what matters is what we think of ourselves and not so much others’ opinions of us. The same can be said about beautiful flowers. The blossoms don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but they continue to bloom. They do it anyways.
3. Hope
Spring teaches us to have hope and to not be deterred by what is before us, but rather to look ahead to new chances for growth and opportunity. Spring allows us to believe in the hope that we all must hold onto, despite the past frigid cold temperatures in the winter or the future sweltering heat in the summer. Hope is often seen as a bright light. After the extended dark hours in the winter, the light of spring provides us with anticipated hope and joy.
In the Bible, Romans 15:13 states “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” This verse powerfully proclaims another name for God, as the God of hope. It goes on to request that we also prosper in a spirit of hope. Just as the newly budding flowers in the springtime open their petals for the hope of the new day, we too must learn to be and remain hopeful.
