The things you didn't receive added value to your life, the same as did the things you received. Life had holes. Life was still beautiful.

About This Quote

The things you didn't receive added value to your life, the same as did the things you received. Life had holes. Life was still beautiful. The poem by Sara Teasdale captures the beauty of life in all its form.

We may not receive many gifts or love, but we can still find beauty in our everyday lives. We can find the beauty in the small actions that make us smile, like getting lost in a good book or looking out at the stars at night. We can find beauty in nature; nature is beautiful and nature only brings beauty to life.

We can even find beauty in our failures or mistakes because while they hurt, they like all of life's hardships, bring us to where we need to be- which is to become a better person.
