Sometimes we get stuck in our own point of view
But bringing in an external perspective can help us renew
It opens up new possibilities and ways to grow
And allows us to thrive in ways we didn’t know
So let’s welcome new ideas and thoughts from others
And watch as our potential blossoms and flourishes.
