When you stop to think about it, our lives really are magnificent. Each day is an opportunity to embrace a new challenge or appreciate the little things that make you smile. All it takes is a little perspective -- and nothing quite captures that like the poetic prose from Pulitzer prize-winner Mary Oliver. If life is looking a bit blue today, or you simply want to be inspired, read Oliver's words of wisdom below. Your spirits will be soaring in no time (and your newfound positive attitude will even benefit your health).
The stress and strain of constantly being connected can sometimes take your life -- and your well-being -- off course. GPS For The Soul can help you find your way back to balance.
GPS Guides are our way of showing you what has relieved others' stress in the hopes that you will be able to identify solutions that work for you. We all have de-stressing "secret weapons" that we pull out in times of tension or anxiety, whether they be photos that relax us or make us smile, songs that bring us back to our heart, quotes or poems that create a feeling of harmony or meditative exercises that help us find a sense of silence and calm. We encourage you to visit our other GPS Guides here, and share with us your own personal tips for finding peace, balance and tranquility.
