This is the ‘I Goat Statue’ in London’s Spitalfields Market.
Despite walking past it every day on the way to work, it took two years before I noticed it existed.
In stark contrast, when my brother-in-law was visiting from New Zealand last month, the moment he set foot in the market he commented on the imposing goat that loomed above us. To him, the statue was unmissable from the get-go.
It’s highly likely the people you encounter today will see the world differently to you.
Your story, values, fears, dreams, and instincts, are not theirs. These differences can drive us apart, or they can help us build something better.
The first, and most important, step is to accept that we may see things differently, and that’s okay.
