We have all seen those images that at first glance look unmistakably like one thing – for example, a duck. However, your coworker might laugh at you and think you are joking – that’s not a duck – it’s a rabbit, they might say. But you insist that it is, in fact, a duck. 

What’s the answer? Well, it’s both – it’s a duck and it’s a rabbit. It just depends on how you look at it.  Try squinting to see the picture in another way. Try backing up from the photo. You may have to spend some time struggling to open your mind to seeing it in a new way. Spending the time is worth it.

Sometimes we get stuck seeing things one particular way. Try listening to the people around you without discounting their perspectives right away. Consider the possibility that you all might be right. 

Have you had a paradigm shifts that changed your life?
