The sun sets on another day…
Tonight was a spectacular sunset with a spattering of clouds that gave the color something extra. As I watched the sun go down I was lost in the moment and stayed a little later just to watch the colors fade. Yes I took pictures and yes the picture that I took is here but I spent as much time just watching the magnificence of everything unfolding around me.
You’re sitting in a room with an all southern view, a bear walks by. What color is it? This is a pretty easy question and when you read it you should figure it out in about 1/2 a second but many people don’t see it and get lost in trying to figure out everything but what color the bear is. This is sometimes true in life.
There are so many things going on around us that sometimes I don’t think people understand where they are. Now I could be dead wrong. I have been wrong many times and will be wrong far more as life goes on. Here I thought that there was nothing ever wrong with me and boy I was really wrong about that. So you can say I’m wrong and go on, but occasionally just consider the idea of what is on your mind and how it is affecting you. This could be anything from minimally to massively and as you consider how things are affecting you, how do you tell them to stop?
There are lots of possibilities, but I couldn’t tell you which one is right and which one is wrong. That is up to you. As you consider the world only you have the ability to understand who you are. There was an old movie at one time that coined the quote “no matter where you go there you are”. Of course the movie didn’t say it first, and I’m sure that there are hundreds of sources including Confucius and quite a few others. Still it stands, only you know you.
Now there are lots of people that will tell you different, and there are people who will try to find a past life or some serious problem that happened when you were three days old, but still the only person that has had all the experiences that you have and knows all of the things that you know, is you. If you are having a rough day, only you will know why and although other people may open your mind to some possibilities, only you can take the step to correct anything that’s wrong.
If that seems like a lot of pressure, it’s not. We have the ability every day to rise above just about anything. Even the worst possible things that could happen to you could be set aside, by you.
Personally though, i hope you’re having a fantastic day and don’t have anything to worry about. But if you do, ask yourself why and find the answer to solve your problems.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you understand how fantastic life can be. If you look for the bad in things you will most certainly find them, but if you look for the good in things you will find those two and have a better day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and Tell me…
