Happy Sunday everyone and here is wishing you a great day filled with fun with family and or friends. My daughter today is going out to watch the new chipmunk movie with her 'big sister' today and then an afternoon snack. So she has her afternoon planned.
Big Brother/Big Sisters is an excellent program and it has given her another person to model and get another perspective to view and develop from. She has been part of the program over 6 years now and it has been very rewarding. Great stuff!
My thoughts for this Sunday is on the word perspective. Some quotes first from Alexandre Dumas:
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more.
He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
The next quote from Baruch Spinoza:
Peace is not the absence of war; it is a virtue; a state of mind; a disposition for benevolence; confidence; and justice.
The truth about life is we all have a different perspective of it. We can see a image and describe two or more different descriptors about it and still be right. Our state of mind changes these views to a large extent. Our views from past events and relationships can also alter our views on present and future events.
Facts have shown over and over again that we all view things differently.
When we start to take the time and look at the world from different possibilities, different view points we will begin to enlighten and liberate our life.
We all want more in our life, more money, more comfort, more joy, more happiness but many times what we already need is right at our finger tips. Our world has limitless resources. Our world has so many outcomes that we each can control and grasp for ourselves like grasping a flower for the vase upon our table.
We choose, we design and we all have the power to shape our perspective into a more empowering state that will not only life our awareness but improve our possibilities for what we really want.
Shape your perspective and design your life to make a difference for so many more.
Enjoy the day friends and until next time...... Smile!
