Experience good and bad ones give us the tool of perspective. A chance to compare and simulate the many situations we have encounter in life or others people experiences. The problem if we don’t have this. It will make are life feel like its never enough. Perspective helps us balance ourselves in our day to day life. Whenever we feel sad, discourage, too optimistic, etc. Building this skill is possible. Immigrants like us, that came from a country that didn’t have much. Gave us naturally more perspective than others. But if you feel that you don’t have it, no worries there is a way. This is our humble opinion on it and how can you build it.
