Daily Gratitude: “It’s not what you look at that matters, It’s what you see.”

We all see things differently. You can experiment with this to prove it. We’ve talked about it before.

There’s a story about two little boys. They are both put in rooms with a pile of horse manure in the middle of the room.

When they checked on each boy this is what they found.

One boy was crying and pressed up tightly against a wall, as far away from the pile as possible. When asked what he was doing, he cried and said “Let me out of here. It’s just a pile of bad smelling poop. There’s nothing here.”

When they went to check on the other boy, they found him right in the middle of the pile digging away happily. When they asked him what he was doing, he said “look at this big pile. It’s wonderful.” “Why” they asked. “Because with this much poop there has to be a pony in there somewhere. I’m going to find it.”

Think on that.
