Life Coaching: Seeing The World Through Different Eyes

I have had a growth spurt on my YouTube channel lately. I am very grateful for that because I know God was really moving on my behalf!  With that growth, however, comes a degree of strangeness.  

Case in point: I had a rather random message from a guy who asked me if my vision was bad enough to really need my glasses.   First off, I hate glasses. All they do is slip down my nose and get smudged. And secondly, who would want to wear glasses all the time if they didn’t have to? And thirdly, they rub my nose and leave red patches on the side of my face. Yeah, not a fan...so me being me, I decided to take a look at his YouTube channel to see if he was an optometrist or something...maybe I could get a discount on my glasses.  Lord knows the things are expensive enough...at any rate, I digress. I am gonna leave this right here, but since eyeglasses have little to nothing to do with my channel, I figured he must have been just surfing and commenting...which is perfectly fine. 

We sometimes encounter things that are unfamiliar to us. Not everyone thinks like we do, nor should they. How boring the world would be! We go through our lives in our own little world, connecting with like-minded people, and forget there’s an entire world out there that thinks it’s okay to eat pineapple on a pizza...

I’m not saying to embrace sin or sketchy behavior. Don’t do that. But it’s perfectly fine to see something from someone’s perspective other than our own. Even though there are people we may never connect with on a deep emotional level (and to be honest, there are some people we don’t NEED to connect with that way), we can acknowledge our differences, smile and move on. There is nothing wrong with silence. There is peace in taking the high road sometimes. And there is contentment in knowing God is on His throne.
