When I picked up my 7 year old from school today I saw the quote below written on a diversity art project made by a fellow student:
"What you see depends on what you are looking for."
I don't know if the student authored it but I really liked the statement. All the glass half-empty people in the world...the ones that don't get that this could very well be their one and only spin around the block of life...they are looking for the wrong things. They are missing things like budding trees, the smell of the lilacs and frogs singing...they are focusing on the mosquitos and the bunnies that eat their gardens. Life isn't supposed to be easy - the bunnies are hungry...plant two gardens - one for them and one for you.
Life isn't any easier for me, than it is for you, than it is for the people down the road from either one of us. Enjoy what you have...focus on what IS working, what IS making you happy, what you ARE achieving...that positive energy attracts more positive energy...how many people really get that??????
What do you see today?
