“We often think that there is just one way
to look at things – the way we always have.
In fact, there are an infinite number of ways
to look at most everything.
An open mind allows for a multitude of perspectives
from which to choose in any given moment.
That suppleness of mind allows for true choice,
and opens us to a whole new realm of possibility.”

“There is wonder in everything,
the only thing you need to change to see it
is your perspective.”

“Remember, whatever you focus upon, increases. . . .
When you focus on the things you need,
you’ll find those needs increasing.
If you concentrate your thoughts on what you don’t have,
you will soon be concentrating on other things
that you had forgotten you don’t have-
-and feel worse! If you set your mind on loss,
you are more likely to lose.
But a grateful perspective brings happiness
and abundance into a person’s life.”

“When you have once seen the glow of happiness
on the face of a beloved person,
you know that a man can have no vocation
but to awaken that light
on the faces surrounding him.
In the depth of winter, I finally learned
that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
.
