Thoughts for the Day

Today's thoughts come from The Alchemist:

"When someone sees the same people every day, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own." (Pages 17-18)

"When each day is the same as the next, it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises." (Page 29)

And that's as far as I've gotten. I'm sure there will be even greater insights as I continue reading this amazing, enlightening book. I highly recommend it.
