If a man is called to be a street sweeper,

of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

Perspective:
Do you always look at life from the same point-of-view?

Pretend you are an alien from a distant galaxy -
that should be good for a laugh.
Troubles only appear troubling to those close to them.

Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."
Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

Our only path to happiness lies in being open
to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
