We are so distracted by entertainment, the Internet, or the “beautiful people” that we tend not to notice the real beauty and wonder found around us.

Many of us place a priority on our wants over our needs. People in Third World countries appreciate the gifts given by nature each and every day, as they are very aware that these gifts satisfy their physical and spiritual needs. We seem to only appreciate those things when we are on vacation.

Take the time to recognize and appreciate what your world offers you on a basic level. Your life will be filled with simplistic wonder, and your spirituality will be elevated to the heights your soul cries out for.
