Its OK – I am not “despairing” – its just that my thoughts over some recent days have led me to think about the concept of “despair” and the fact that it is not surprising that many people find themselves dropping into that particular pit!

The Best Things In Life Are Free
This is a mantra that is widely accepted, often repeated and, in my opinion, lacking in a true understanding of the “cost” of things. There is currently a radio advert that uses the phrase and I hear it most days whilst sitting in the car – no wonder my “thinking” has been triggered.
Perspective
At an intellectual level I know full well how important it is to consider that there is more than one way of looking at things – our perspective (or point of view) is critical in defining how we react to things; how we understand and ascribe meaning to things; indeed – simply how we see ourselves in the world. It is only occasionally that you get a “real life” lesson in how even a small change in perspective can make a big difference.
