The Magic Wand of Perspective

Try as we might, we cannot control the world external to us.  We can; however, make decisive and conscious choices about how we choose to respond.  And within that choice is magic.  It is the difference between accepting and rejecting; flowing and resisting; embracing and repelling.  And while the blame game soothes the ego, the reality is that consciously choosing to see events as opportunities versus obstacles dictates our success.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature nor do the children of man as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." Helen Keller 1880-1968, Blind/Deaf Author and Lecturer
