Perspective is Key: Pull Back, Get Curious, and Persevere

How often do we find ourselves trapped in the same loop, staring at a problem so closely that it feels impossible to solve? The tighter we grip, the harder it becomes to see a way through. But what if the answer isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about pulling back?

The Power of Perspective

When things feel stuck, overwhelming, or just plain frustrating, the first step isn’t to do more—it’s to shift how you’re looking at the situation. Perspective is everything. It determines what we believe is possible, how we respond, and ultimately, the results we create.

Pulling back gives you room to breathe, room to see what’s actually happening instead of what you assume is happening. When you detach from tunnel vision and get curious instead of reactive, new possibilities emerge. Solutions that once seemed hidden suddenly reveal themselves. The question shifts from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What is this revealing to me?”

Get Curious Instead of Frustrated

Curiosity is one of the most powerful tools in your mindset toolbox. When you approach challenges with curiosity instead of frustration, you step into a space of possibility instead of limitation. Instead of judging a situation as bad or wrong, you can ask:

  • What is this experience teaching me?
  • What haven’t I considered yet?
  • Where am I making assumptions that might not be true?

Curiosity is the key to unlocking creativity, innovation, and solutions that would have never appeared if you were stuck in frustration and force.

Follow Up with Perseverance

Perspective alone isn’t enough. Once you shift how you see a challenge, you must follow up with action. This is where perseverance comes in.

Seeing a new path doesn’t mean the road will be easy—but it does mean it’s possible. The difference between those who succeed and those who stay stuck is their willingness to keep going when things get uncomfortable.

Perseverance doesn’t mean forcing something that isn’t aligned. It means trusting the vision, even when the evidence hasn’t fully caught up yet. It means staying committed to the direction you’re being called toward, even when challenges arise. Because they will.

But when you pair perspective with perseverance, you become unstoppable.

Final Thoughts: Your Next Move

If you’re facing something right now that feels frustrating or impossible, take a moment to pull back. Breathe. Look at it from a different angle. Get curious. What haven’t you considered? What assumptions need to be challenged?

Then, once you see your next step—even if it’s just a small one—commit to it. Move forward with perseverance, knowing that every great success was built on the back of moments just like this.

Perspective is key. Pull back and get curious. Follow up with perseverance. And watch how everything begins to shift. ✨
