There are discoveries all around ussmall gifts of
joy that bring moments of peace and renewal.
Yet it
is easy to miss the small things of uncommon value and inspirationthe cycles of life in a thriving forest, the perfection of a brilliant flower, the purposefulness of a delicate butterfly, or the spiritual beauty within another soul.
If we would stop for only a moment to marvel at this
blessing of life, we would find many heart-stirring
discoveries where we least expect them.
A small shift in the way we view a situation can make a
life-changing difference.
A purposeful change in perspective can spark a sense of
freedom, spiritual vision, and peace of mind. It can uncover a
life purpose that has gone undetected. It can heal a
hurt that has burdened someone for years.
Take time to listen to the emotion in the voice
of a friend, feel the warmth of the sunshine, or
view the perfect design in the smallest leaf or a cluster of stars.
Become still.
Listen to the voice inside your heart without
judging its message. What does it tell you?
Notice and acknowledge your feelings around any
situation that might trouble you.
Then ask yourself, "How could I view this situation differently? What new
perspective might turn this into a blessing for me or
someone else?"
You will be pleased with the sense of freedom and peace
it brings to you.
A lifetime of rewarding discoveries
is waiting for all who will stop, look, and listen
with faith.
