I sit here on the train on route to downtown watching unique stores with unfamiliar signs and hidden parks full of perfection pass by at the speed of light. Why keep such beauty hidden? Why let it pass by so fast? Why only make it seen by those who travel one path? Maybe it is a gift that only some are supposed to see. Unfortunately, not everyone finds the big "X marks the spot".
Everyone is on a different path in search of a different treasure. Everyone will find something different because of their method of travel, their route of travel and their perspective on life. One man's trash is another man's gold. Your ongoing task is to make the distinction in every opportunity that presents itself to you. You will complete this process many times throughout your life.
As you grow your perspective grows as well. Which direction will you grow towards? Optimism or pessimism? Do you want to see the trash? Or do you want to see the gold? You have the choice to see the glass half-empty or half-full. Remember you have the power to make a decision based on what you see or what you want to see. Always look for the best in people, in nature and in all things and they will see you as gold too. Shine brightly and always be the sparkle in others' eyes.
Always,
Ally May
