I find it good to look at issues as many ways and listen to conflicting opinions to come to my own. This is getting harder to do being that things are so far apart now. The gap between the truth is so great, I start to question it, trust little and even listen less. I can see why things are getting further apart for some people. But I will try to be open and keep listening.

But today different angles, to me is how I’m looking at life. I just realized I was getting a bit self-absorbed and lazy again. I’d been forgetting every minute is an opportunity, despite the difficulties of the day, I’m going to make the best of every minute. I find it helpful even when I feel like crap occasionally. And I’m going to use the free minutes and seconds I have much better.

And at 60 you don’t want to be wasting any time at all. I’ve got a ton to do and a ton to catch up on, and here I am coasting along, wasting time on TV and reading too much news crap. I need to live. I need to create. I need to love. I want to get back to looking at what I’ve accomplished each day and feeling good about it.

The other thing is to look at beauty. For instance this trunk is far from the most attractive you might come across. But the strength and the age rings inside it are probably a wonder to behold. I’ve been looking at surface beauty and man-made stuff instead of looking deep at both nature and people. I think the more at peace I am, and in a positive frame of mind, the more I’ll be able to do my best work.

So here’s to looking both ways and deeply. Enjoy the moment, enjoy the day.
