Noticing

“A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.”

Johann Von Goethe

If you devoted an entire day to observing everything that’s beautiful and inspiring, you could create a massive list. You’d notice friends looking out for each other, strangers exchanging simple kindnesses, and countless other pieces of evidence suggesting the world is good.
If you spent the day looking for everything disappointing and frustrating, you could likely create another list. You’d notice friends putting themselves first, strangers holding their guards up high, and countless other pieces of evidence suggesting the world is a scary place.
The world is neither black nor white. It’s all there. What you notice most often reflects what you believe in your heart. Believe in the good and find it today. It’s there. It’s always there.
