Have you been observing your world? Really paying attention rather than floating down the river of life allowing the current to carry you wherever? What contemporary wave is driving your reality? The current of the world changes constantly. Trends. Fashions. Conventional Wisdom. Opinions. Likes and Dislikes. It is tempting to lay back in the boat of least resistance and enjoy the quiet ride. But what are you missing? Sharpen your vision to a new view. Choose what you look for. Stir the current, even agitate if necessary. Whatever you choose to look for will appear with more and more frequency as you notice it, name it, and claim it. So why not pick beauty and joy?
