A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Good morning!  Sometimes in our lives, nothing needs to change except how we see the world around us. Problems can be conquered and moods can be altered when we "reframe" our world, take a new look, see with a fresh perspective.

Antoine's quote surely speaks to this fact. Think of all the things that would not exist in our world had someone not seen the "non-obvious." My guess is we would have a lot more rock piles, and a lot less cathedrals, that's for sure.

What is even more interesting to me is that often we won't "take a new picture" because we are sure our vision is correct. But look at this example. You have two men... one sees a rock pile and the other sees a cathedral. Whose vision is correct? What camera would you rather hold?

Your Turn:
As you go about your daily living, remember that there are two sides to everything. Take a new picture. See the other side. You might fall in love with what you find there.

Affirmation:
I let my preconceived notions go and see the world from a fresh perspective.

 

Challenge Life!
