“It should be called the Ocean, not the Earth.”
Richard Branson said this after seeing the planet from space because from up there, the name “Earth” doesn’t make much sense at all.
When you’re standing on land, calling our planet “Earth” feels obvious.
But when you look back at it from space, you see something different: a world that’s mostly water.
Perspective changes everything.
And when it comes to influencing behaviour, it’s easy to focus on the people we’re trying to change – their choices, their habits, their resistance.
But the real shift comes from changing our perspective.
Because in the end, it’s your actions, your approach, and the environments you design that shape what others do.
