Increase Learning Opportunities
When
we view things from a positive lens, we are better able to see growth and
learning opportunities. A positive perspective allows us to see the lesson or a
bigger picture of a scenario versus solely focusing on the problem. A mind that
sees the lesson or learning opportunity will take a more exploratory approach
that improves the chances of new skills and information being obtained (Cole,
2016). These new skills and that new information can then be leveraged and
applied to situations in the future.
Enhanced Success Opportunities
The
more open you are and the more you learn, the greater the chances of success
become. Most people who have a negative perspective don’t go on to experience
much success. This is because their perspective keeps them from trying new
things, venturing into unfamiliar territory, and challenging themselves in any
meaningful way.
This
negative perspective acts as an anchor, tying people to their current level of
knowledge or being, and simultaneously keeping them from being able to move
forward. When we adopt a positive perspective, it allows us to venture out and
try new things, seek new information, and explore new territory that increases
our chances of succeeding.
