The Higher Your Vantage Point

Have you ever found yourself wondering why certain people whose lives by comparison of your own seem to have a better outlook on life? For instance an disabled man who seems to be overly positive about all that life has to offer even though menial task which you take for granted are unavailable or difficult for him.  Ones perspective on life of coarse as we all know makes all the difference in ones quality of life, which makes it important to know why one persons is great and the other can't seem to make it out of their own shell.
Life as we know was never meant to be easy and seemingly the harder it is for the individual the more the person accomplishes in the end.  In thinking of the differences between the one whose perspective is a negative one and the one that is quite the opposites we can think of these perspectives as being from different vantage points.  For instance us who walk on the ground as God intended with nothing but our legs, would have a much different vantage point then one who walks around on stilts.  Sure the person on the stilts life may be much more difficult then ours but they are able to see the path in front of them much more clearly than those of use who reside on the ground.  Elaborating more on this same topic and thinking more on it in depth one must conclude that it is the difficulty of these individuals lives that in and of itself leads to this higher vantage point.  It is this same vantage point that makes their lives though they may not accomplish as much as the rest of us in earthly terms of life makes them feel more fulfilled with the lives they lived. Doing something that challenges yourself, standing on these stilts even though it is difficult sticking to whatever it is until your accomplish what you set out to makes the journey all the more full-feeling when the journeys over.  For in life as in sports, the higher the degree of difficulty the action you have performed is the more the sense of satisfaction which is gained after you have accomplished your task. As the man walking on stilts bares the pain and burden of walking on the stilts, he has also paid the price which needs to be paid for the higher vantage point which enlightens us all.
