014 /// A Fresh Perspective of Different

Around the Table with Brenda Harkins

Episode 14 – A Fresh Perspective on Different

With whom do you think of differences as being refreshing? That neighbor with a political sign different than yours? That coworker who does things in the hardest way possible? The one who is always finding fault? Or always positive? The family feuds? The one with the cup half full? Or empty? Differences are perspectives. For those who don’t hold your views, are you the one different? Or are they? The answer to both those questions is yes. It is all perspective. And here’s the game changer. Realizing differences don’t have to create enemies. I am excited to share with you an opportunity I had this week to engage in a conversation with someone VERY different from me politically and spiritually. But the similarities so far outweighed the differences that by the end of the conversation, the differences didn’t matter. I have a new friend. And I don’t care who she is voting for! This is what I want you to hear: Your personal life can be better. Your community can be better. Your business can be better. All by prioritizing the discovery of similarities. Set aside the differences and see the impact it makes! Who could stretch you out of your comfort zone? Where could you glean some fresh perspective? What could be possible if you just laid down that difference? If you found similarities much weightier.
