"Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.

Someone I know posted the above quote on facebook. The interesting thing is that this person, specifically, who is using this quote to guide her life today has been recently permanently disabled in an completely random and unexpected accident which left her permanently and suddenly blind. She has a four year old daughter whom she can no longer see.
With this in mind, I focus on this quote today not only because of it’s ability to uplift and to be positive, which it certainly does, but rather, to focus on perspective… we’re all dealt hands we didn’t expect. The perspective we take , this goes to show, is what moves us forward or keeps us stagnant.
Thoughts for today.
