My House

My Courtyard: Noticing Beauty From A Different Perspective

March 20, 2018
  • Share

The world changes when we change our perspective.

Every day I’m noticing little things about my new home in Beverly Hills that makes me fall even more in love with this property. The other day I was walking around the back of the house through the gated tunnel to my courtyard, when I realized I had never seen the view from this angle before.

I know this may seem like a trivial example, but it got me thinking about how we have the power to take what we see every day and look at it from a different perspective and be enlightened to even more beauty.

The only thing we can control in this life is our perspective. A person on the ground views the Empire State Building differently than the person on the top floor… but the Empire State Building is still the Empire State Building. We all have different life experiences to bring to the table, and every opinion is valuable and worthy of consideration. In this difficult and divisive climate, I think a few more open minds and a few more people willing to walk in another person’s shoes could quite literally change the world.

The view of my courtyard from the side.

Same courtyard, different perspective.

We can choose if we want to see the world positively or negatively — and I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel excited and powerful!

ā€œThere are no facts, only interpretations.ā€ – Friedrich Nietzsche

“IfĀ you change the way youĀ look atĀ things, theĀ things youĀ look atĀ change.” – Wayne Dyer

I encourage you to spend extra time today witnessing all the beauty that surrounds you.

xo!

    I totally get it, how perspective changes things dramatically. Isn’t it nice that you can find new beauty in the most unexpected places if you keep your mind open. I have a favorite view in my home, it’s when I’m sitting in my family room and can enjoy the view of my kitchen which is open to the floor above. Happy Spring!

    I love today’s post. You sound like my guru, Alexandra Stoddard. In all of her books she was able to explain how we can elevate our every day lives by cultivating beauty and living more consciously. Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for adding a sweet dimension to mine.

    Hi Coco! Love your patio and Spanish Bungalow! Please tell us more! I’m moving to LA in the summer and torn between a place like yours or something closer to the beach without as much charm although I’m really hoping for both!
