The same view you look at every day, the same life, can become something brand new by focusing on its gifts rather than the negative aspects. Perspective is your own choice and the best way to shift that perspective is through gratitude, by acknowledging and appreciating the positives.

About This Quote

We all have the same view of the world. This world is a very small place and we can’t really do anything large or important to change it. The best thing we can do is to appreciate what we have and learn to focus on the positive things in life rather than pointing out all of the negative ones. It’s easy to point out the negative aspects of life because those are things that we can change.

However, it’s harder to focus on what we have instead of what we don’t have. If you focus on what you have, you will be able to appreciate all of the things that make your life better and happier; your home, family, job, school, friends and other people around you.
