Sometimes we need a different point-of-view

The first time I took my two sons on an airplane ride, I pointed out houses, roads and even huge cities from this aerial view.  They marveled at how tiny everything looked from the sky.

I used this experience to teach them a lesson about problems.  I reminded both of them that when they have a problem in life and it seems overwhelming to solve or manage, that if they remember how small things are from the viewpoint of looking out the window of an airplane, that they may see that their problems aren't quite as big as they appear. Whatever life presents, it is never too large for you to handle. 

On that note, the quote of the day is:

"Your perspective is everything."
