"The universe is wider than our views of it" (Thoreau)



     I read a very interesting study which shows that standing tall helps when making the big picture decisions.  I found this fascinating and will try to remember this next time I am in a quandary about something.  I'll stand on a chair or climb a hill or a mountain, or just think soaring elevated thoughts.

 "perceived physical height directly affected whether test subjects took a metaphorical “50,000-foot view” or “street level” approach to decisions."

     Here are links to the study.

     It reminded me of this classic scene from the movie "Dead Poets Society"

Carpe Diem.
