Perspective
If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently….When you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things that what people do all day.
~ Calvin and Hobbes
Lo
Today flows from yesterday
The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.
~ Steve Mariboli
Something to think about…
Today flows from yesterday, the day before, the day before that. Tomorrow repeats the pattern. What we are given on any one day will have its beginning in the past and its finale in the future. No incident is isolated entirely; no issue is self-contained.
Maturity is being able to let go of outgrown attitudes, stifling opinions, no matter how good and right they were at one time. Our egos often get too attached to some of our opinions, and new ideas can’t filter in. Some will try to get our attention today. We are ready for new growth. The choice not to hamper it is ours to make.
The opinions we held certain yesterday may not be adequate to the problems of today. They need not be. They served us well. They are not for naught.

A different perspective
Sometimes you need to look at life from a different perspective.

Seek beauty in all people and all things
When you seek beauty in all people and things, you will not only find it, you will become it.
Change the way you look at things
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
Life is a process of letting go
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
~ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Something to think about…
Life is a process of letting go, letting go of conditions we can’t control, letting go of people — watching them move out of our lives, letting go of times, places, experiences. Leaving behind anyone or anyplace we have loved may sadden us, but it also provides us opportunities for growth we hadn’t imagined. These experiences push us beyond our former selves to deeper understandings of ourselves and of others.
So often those experiences that sadden us, that trigger pain, are the best lessons life is able to offer. Experiencing the pain, surviving the pain that wrenches us emotionally, stretches us to new heights. Life is enriched by the pain. Our experiences with all other persons thereafter are deeper. Instead of dreading the ending of a time, the departure of a loved one, we must try to appreciate what we have gained already, and know that life is fuller for it.

Your mind is a garden
Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can can grow weeds.
Right or wrong path
There is no right or wrong path. There is only the path that you choose. Whatever you choose, there will be many opportunities for you to grow and expand.
~ Kuan Yin
No fear of depths
I must be a mermaid. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
~ Anais Nin
