In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Think about your various perspectives and how they shape you and your world. Considering these views will help you start to make proactive changes.  List your perspectives on a piece of paper so that it’s easier to see and think about them. You can also make notes or comments on each part as necessary. Be very honest with yourself about your perspectives so that it’s easier to make changes.  You also need to think about how these perspectives shape you as a person. Do they tend to make you a negative person or make you less likely to take risks? For example, if you believe that a woman can’t be the head of state or a CEO, acknowledge this perspective and then consider how it influences and shapes you in every aspect of your life. You may discover that your perspective is clouding your judgment of all women. Your perspectives form throughout your life based on factors such as family, education, culture, and life experiences. Considering what influences your perspectives may help you to reformulate them.  Your life experiences including illness, travel, jobs, religion, politics, and your television and reading habits inform your perspective. Broadening your horizons with other experiences may help start to change your perspective on them and the wider world around you. The people with whom you surround yourself, including family and friends, influence your perspective of yourself and life. Confining yourself to certain people or types of people may hinder your ability to change your perspectives. Education and learning have a significant impact on your perspectives. Not keeping yourself continually informed can keep your perspectives from developing. Once you’ve had a chance to think about your perspectives and what informs them, envision how your life might be if you changed your perspectives. This may help you to see not only the benefits of changing your perspectives, but also may begin to change them.  Try the simple exercise of doing a handstand or laying in the grass and looking up at the sky. Both exercises can help you notice that life is not linear and there are many different perspectives from which to view the world.  Ask yourself creative and deep questions about the world and consider “what ifs” to help you see how changing your perspectives may change you and the world around you. For example, think about what might happen if you believed that women can be heads of state or CEOs? Would you get along with your coworkers and other people better? Would it help you in your own career or life?

Summary:
Think about your perspectives and how they shape you. Consider the sources of your perspectives. Envision how your life would be if you changed your perspectives.
