A trick for easily shifting your perception:

First imagine the cube is sitting on the ground and you are looking down at it from slightly above and to the right (this is the way most people will initially perceive it, because it is the most familiar).

Then imagine the cube is instead attached to a wall or perhaps a ceiling and you are looking up at it from slightly below and to the left.
