It's All Relative

Perspective is an interesting concept. This morning while getting ready I heard someone going through the recycling bin. Today is garbage day and the containers are on the street. I thought,
"wow, some people are really motivated and really need money and will do whatever it takes to get it".

Then, as I was walking the dogs I get paid $25 to walk, I felt a bit of perspective as I walked past a mansion with tennis courts and fountains and full on splendor. I thought, someone could be in that house seeing me walk by with the dogs...again and wonder, "wow, some people are really motivated and really must need money and will do whatever it takes by walking other peoples' dogs".

I'm certainly not ashamed to walk the dogs because I would probably do it even if I didn't get paid--they bring me so much joy. In any case, it's all relative--we are all one. Our outer circumstances may look a little different depending on where you're looking out from, but we are all the same. I feel very connected to life!
