Burdening our consciousness with disgruntled thoughts causes us to miss the beauty and perfection that nearly always surrounds us.

We don’t need to pretend unpleasantness doesn’t exist, we just need to focus on the good stuff to stay in balance. This ensures that our awareness isn’t so dominated by negativity that we miss life in the only time it ever happens…
