About This Quote
The ability to see things from different perspectives is often the key to growing as a person and seeing things in a new light. When we go through our lives and never move out of the way of our current vision, we either miss out on what’s around us or we become complacent. We need to be open-minded enough to see the world from all angles and take in new things as they present themselves to us.
