Focus on Faith – Seeing things from a new perspective

In life, seeing things from the proper perspective can make all the difference. When we look with the wrong perspective, we can get the wrong picture and that can affect our attitude and our outlook. 

For example, a shoe company sent two shoe salesmen to a foreign country to explore the market and determine if they should try to open a shoe store there to market their shoes. After a week both salesmen wrote back to their company. The first said, there is no use to open shoe stores here, no one wears shoes here. The second wrote back and said move speedily to open a store, no one is wearing shoes here…what a great opportunity!
