Finding the Beauty In Everyday Life

Take a second. Look around you — find something, anything that is beautiful to you. It can be hard for us to see the positives and look on the bright side in life. It may not always be a rainbow, but the beauty is there; you first have to focus not on the bad, but on the good in everyday life.

Not every day is going to be your best. Take today for example. I had to wake up early, and was exhausted. My entire family is sick, and I had to drive an hour away to a soccer game. I was having a mediocre day, but all of my problems faded away once I took the time to stop and look around. The beautiful sunset that I was driving in. The birds flying above me. It was a moment that made me take a step back and recognize how blessed I was to see that.

You may not always see the sunset, but its always possible to find something beautiful in your life. Don’t forget: it is only beautiful because you make it. Beauty goes unrecognized daily. It's your job to take the time to breath, stop for a moment, and notice it.
