We see what we want in the world, in the hearts of others, and in the character of ourselves. Perception is a powerful opportunity. Harness the good and the beautiful, see the blessings presented every day, and be thankful. Live a life of love and humility while you cherish the process of finding yourself amidst the chaos of life. Alternately, fixate on the bad, drown yourself in the shortcomings and the let downs, and remain forever stagnant in a place of loss and disappointment. The choice is up to us.
