What If?

What if we took a difficult situation and always looked for the lesson? 

What if when we have feelings of resentment we examined why? 

What if we shared joy instead of complaints? (Don't get me wrong...venting has it's time and place)

What if we shared smiles instead of judgement?

What if we looked for the good in people, even when it feels extra hard to find it?

What if we woke up and felt gratitude for that simple, and crucial act?

What if we didn't deem the day a wash just because a few small things didn't go according to plan?

What if we shared more?

What if we gave without expectation?

What if we did kind acts just because we can?

What if instead of being jealous we applaud the achievement and strive for our own? 

What if we actually stopped to smell the roses, admire a bird's flight, or a reflection on the water?

Oh how life can be improved by looking at things just a little bit differently.

What if?
