We all have perspectives, each based on our own individual lives.

​As we know, our perspective is a particular attitude toward something; our point of view.  

Everyday, everyone of us lives our own unique life.

​Those living with mental illness live very different lives, including challenges the rest of which, most of us cannot imagine. 

We would do ourselves a favor, if we would look at others who are different than we are, and view them as offering us a different way of seeing, including those with mental illness. 

Others are able to share a different perspective, as they have lived a different life than we have.     

Think of others as a valuable resource!  

This helps us have insights into subjects we may know nothing about.
