With each new day comes new strength and another chance to see things in a new light. Read these perspective quotes and open your mind to the possibility that the things you look at change when YOU change the way you look at them. Life gets better that way.

Here's the truth:

Perspective can either make your problems look bigger or your possibilities look infinite. It can keep you warm and safe or it can suffocate and separate.

I'm sharing these perspective quotes with you because it’s okay to question what you’ve always taken as truth. And by all means, don’t be afraid to change your mind.

If you can, leave some room for the mystery too.

And if you need more support, get my book Morning Affirmations: 200 Phrases for an Intention and Openhearted Start to Your Day. It'll open your day with a breath of fresh air and hope, so you can live *your* life the way YOU want to. No matter what.
