The big Picture

So, I don't have a word for today, but I was roaming the internet and found this amazing picture, which led me to an insightful website/blog.

This picture, for me, denotes the larger picture that a lot of us fail to see. I am a huge culprit of forgetting what the big picture in life is. I personally get so caught up in where my life is NOT going that I loose track of certain items that should be ranking on a higher importance scale. I hope you all find your true MOTIVE.

For instance, I talk to my mother maybe a handful of times a month, if even that. My little sister I speak to less often. I worry about bills, loved ones passing, and analyze people and things around me constantly. This keeps me from experiencing the things that have already been determined for me to experience. It not only hinders my opportunities, but hinders my ability to appreciate the love, friendship, talent, and beauty in myself and surrounding me in life. By placing all of my energy on the negative, I am blocking the positive out of my life. I know that it is there, but I just can't see it sometimes. My faith lacks more than I'd like. Deep inside I know that good surrounds me, people are only human, the world is filled with endless possibilities and my true purpose has yet to shine through. Sometimes, it is just easier to allow the fear to rule, the panic to engulf my body, or the stress to make me tense. It seems all of these are the easy way out, and though at heart I want to fight, I simply don't. This picture reminded me that I am not alone in this. For my beliefs, I look to a greater spiritual being, capable of handling a multitude of emotions, situations, problems, etc. I just forget all too often that I can release all of this onto someone more capable. For me this is God. For you, it may be something or someone else. Whatever it is for you, don't forget that it is there. The website I attached may be too spiritually contented for some. Try to get passed that if it is an issue for you and just take from it what you can.
