Same tree. Different eyes.


Question of the Day: How many choices/options is too many?

Good Morning Reader,

There’s a point where more stops helping.

And starts getting in the way.

Today’s Thought is about how the same thing can look completely different depending on who’s looking at it. Same tree. Different eyes. It’s not just what’s out there. It’s what you bring with you.

You might be the same. Or the complete opposite.

Stay Golden,
Ken
