TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE

"Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor."  

                                 ~ Rumi

​Do you tend to see life as for you or against you?

Do you consider the glass half full or half empty?

Let's think from another perspective.  

Consider how the glass is actually full because it is: half with air and half with water.

Both air and water are valuable and needed for life.

We can use this water and air answer as a touchstone for remembering that we have what we need.

Also, instead of thinking that life is for or against us, we can see life as with us because it is.

And as long as life is within us, life is guiding us toward healing, growth, learnings, and awakenings. If we seem to lose our way, like any GPS, the wisdom of life navigates and guides us toward the ideal way for us, which may be different than for others. 

We can choose to see the world this way, with hope, trusting that life is working in our favor. Like Rumi said, let's live as if everything is rigged in our favor, with love for us.

With gratitude from us,
Charlene

PS - If this one sounds familiar, it is because it was sent in the past in a slightly different form. I thought we could benefit from this reminder and this shift of perspective from "either" and "or." Sometimes our answer can be "both" or "neither" or something entirely different. Let's expand our minds and hearts toward greater understandings among us.
PPS - Thank you, Marie, for sending this back to me! 
PPPS - Thanks to all who send quotes and comments!
