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."

Opinion vs. Truth

A few days ago, I had a friend present two different scenarios to me about her job.  She was being promoted but wasn't happy with the work she was doing and was even considering quitting her job. She asked me what she should do.

While we all seek guidance from family and friends pertaining to a variety of areas of our life, ultimately, we have to live with the decisions that we make.  No one else is going to walk the exact same path that we do.

On that note, the quote of the day is:

"Searching outside of yourself for the answers will only provide you with everyone else's opinion.  Look inside for your Truth."
