As subtle as it appears, being thankful is in fact an utterly invincible attitude that has enough muscle to handily uproot the most negative attitudes that we can conjure up. And I would think that we would be thankful that we can actually have that much power working against all our negativity.

If I don’t ‘see’ life as a gift I might be ‘seeing’ something, but it’s not life.

One of the greatest goals of all is to recognize the commonality of the grand that only appears uncommon because it is missed by the ignorance of our souls turned sour.

It is not the chains of some tyrant that robs us of freedom. Rather, it is the staleness of our attitude.

If there are not times in our life when we laugh so hard that we cry, we have become far more serious than life ever asked us to become.

Have we forgotten how to laugh? If so, we have forgotten how to live. And that is certainly nothing to be laughing about.

I wonder how often I ended up on the short-end of the stick because I was climbing the wrong tree.

We go through life seeing plenty of walls but too few doors, despite the fact that every wall has one.

Failure is only failure if you focus on what didn’t work rather than focusing on what could if you did it differently.
