The phrase a bird’s-eye view is an idiom. Literally, it means to view a scene from a high angle as if seen by a bird in flight. Metaphorically, it means taking a larger look at the situation by creating distance in between.
Most of us today are suffering either through the loss of a family member, heartbreak, financial loss, or childhood traumas. Something that happened ten years ago or yesterday. And by recalling or remembering it on a fresh new day, we are empowering the past to govern our present.
Something that may have happened at some time in the 90s still crushes our souls. And it will keep doing it, until we identify it as memory, as trauma, as past, and create the distance that it requires so we can heal and grow beautiful out of it.
That is why it is important to get a larger picture of the whole situation. And it will look like a completely new situation from just bending our viewpoint.
Whenever we feel stuck or lost or confused, it is an opportunity for us to take a step back and look at the entire situation from a bird’s eye. It will not help us to find a way out of it but also offer us the opportunity to learn, reflect, and grow as a person which would not have happened otherwise.
“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”
~Napoleon Hill
A problem is a problem when we see it as a problem. Otherwise, everything that happens in life is a bold opportunity to take a sip, make a spin, and dance with the beat. Because life goes on until death makes a stop some afternoon for the rest.
The important thing is we learn to sing and smile even while we are fighting the toughest battle of our life.
Stay with
Prerna 🙂
