clouds or sun

It is easy to see all the gray clouds, easy to notice everything going wrong, easy to keep a list of unfairness and hardship, complaints and hurdles.

But can we see the sun? Can we see the light shining through, all the ways we are lucky, the good things pouring in and saturating our lives, through and around the bad?

They’re both there. They always will be. This is how being human works.

But humans have the miraculous gift of getting to choose what to focus on, and the power of managing our minds and attitudes.

Attention amplification is real. Sometimes all we need is a perspective shift.
