Another angle

When you’re stuck, perplexed, frustrated or confused about a particular situation, look at it from another angle. Give yourself the benefit of more than one viewpoint.

Put your creativity to good, practical use. Back away from your most dogged assumptions and take note of what you see.

Sometimes the best way to solve a puzzle is to scramble up all the pieces. Sometimes what you already know is preventing you from discovering more.

The answer you seek could be hiding in plain sight. By shifting your perspective you can enable yourself to see it.

How would the situation appear to a stray dog, or a helicopter pilot flying overhead, or a comedian? Turn your imagination loose and follow where it takes you.

To uncover potential value, look from a new angle, or three or four. The more widely you envision, the more you’re able to see.
