I received an e-mail today from a very good friend and reader thanking me for her new perspective on life.  I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if I shared it with you.

Gina,  I have to share something with you that might have effected me differently before.  I was just looking outside at the rain.  There was a time when I would have grumbled at that, but all that came to my mind was how the little corns that were just planted needed that drink to grow, and how the tired farmers needed a day or two to rest.  Thanks for the new perspective! - Cathy

For me, this was the greatest compliment I could receive.  To know that I have made a difference in someone’s life, to know that even one person has been touched in a positive way is such a great personal reward.

 

We are all capable of achieving a “New Perspective”.  It is our choice.  We can choose to enjoy life’s beauty and wonder or go about with blinders on unable to see what we were meant to see.  

 

Everything you experience in your life is a result of your perception of your world.  We need to perceive our world in a way that benefits us.  How we react to things in our mind is more important than the “things” themselves.  We can always control the things that go on inside of us.

 

”As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7   

 

For all our life, we have been taught to believe we should be down or depressed when certain things happen in our life.  It’s not whether you have problems - we all have problems.  We all have to deal with problems every day.  It’s the attitude we take toward those problems that makes all the difference.  I choose an attitude of .

 

I choose the “”.
