Yes, I know, it has been awhile. Were you all beginning to think that
Golden Perspectives had gone by the wayside like so many other blogs...a great idea at the outset, but then when time comes to update on a regular basis the author always seems to find something better to occupy his/her time. Not necessarily the case. Sometimes taking a step back helps you refocus and alleviate "burn out". I also didn't have anything that was worthy of sharing, something that would make you stop and say, "That's cool" - until recently!
In the spirit of Christmas I recently took a trip into New York City to visit all of the "seasonal sights": Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, all of the store windows up and down 5th Ave, and those infamous Christmas lights along 6th Ave. There is something about a string of lights standing nearly 10 feet tall to put you in the holiday spirit - fun, carefree, and memorable...all the makings of a great holiday! When you start to feel overwhelmed with all of the "jobs" that go along with this time of year, take a step back and refocus. If you are not giving anything your best effort it essentially is a waste of time. Look for that inspiration to get you excited again, so the task you are trying to accomplish has true meaning.
Sometimes even in work we have to take a step back and say, "What am I really trying to do and am I being effective?" When you start to get overwhelmed and weighed down with certain jobs, look for that inspiration to reinvigorate yourself. When you do sit down to finish that particular project, you will probably do a much better job.
Maybe you need to go in search of your own 10 foot high Christmas bulb!
That's the
Golden Perspective...what's yours?
