The Bigger Picture

The miracle is not to fly in the air, 

or to walk on the water, 

but to walk on the earth.  

~Chinese Proverb

The Bigger Picture
Life certainly has its challenges.  You try and go along your day as best as possible but sometimes you feel burdened by current events, strapped in a bad situation or like a hamster on a wheel with no end in sight.  How can you change this?  It's quite simple.  Shift the way you are looking at your life.  When you take the opportunity to look at the bigger picture, you take the blinders off and see the world that is around you.  Too many times you have got caught up in the "it's not going to get better" frame of mind.  Well it can't unless you are willing to change your view.  By making a decision to look at life from a more balanced, harmonious and grateful place, you have just widened your circle by threefold.  Does this mean that you will never have bumps in the road to deal with?  No it does not but these bumps will be just that and not turn into permanent road blocks for you.  The more you can embrace all that is around you, relax into your life and see how enriched it truly is, then you will allow tranquility and opportunities to rush in.  And when you find this peaceful place, hold on to it tight and never let it go.
