Note to Self: Embrace the beauty of life.

 We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.   Nehru, Jawaharlal

I took this picture out the window of my flight from Orlando to Pensacola today. Even though I have been traveling a lot lately, plane rides are still a thrill to me. As I sat in my seat, staring out the window, I thought of all the the unlimited possibilities in the world and I came to a very important realization. There is a world of opportunity awaiting us all, we just need to open our eyes.

Next time you are on a plane, don't nap, read or close your window shade for the entire ride. Instead, take the opportunity to look out your window and embrace the beauty of the world.

Life is a beautiful struggle, but most importantly, it is beautiful. 

But there is something more. What you see out the window of a plane is raw footage. It lacks a point of view. It has no narrative or sound track. And we're all glad about that, because the last thing anyone wants on a plane is drama.
