Why Not?

Is it the big stuff, or the little stuff, or the more obvious combination of the both of them that deserves our attention at every given moment of each and every day? There isn’t always big stuff happening and sometimes there isn’t even any small stuff. But then someone’s house burns to the ground and they lose everything. Next thing you know, someone feels emotionally injured by the way another person spoke to them. Big, and little. Sometimes we pay attention, and sometimes we don’t.

Regardless of what happens, big or small, we look out at it all from inside ourselves and measure it against our own relative perspective. Imagine if we learned to do so with an attitude of awareness that, that is what we were doing, and did so from the spiritual center of our being.

We alter everything we observe, simply by observing it. Why not alter it for the better?
