norsk – Something to Ponder About

If we only look at things through one filter, one lens, they will always seem the same.

Never forget that no matter what anyone does, you are responsible for how you feel.

The brain is a powerful filter that moulds experiences and perceptions of reality. If you think the world is a dangerous place, your brain is wired to hunt for evidence of danger.
If you believe it’s a loving place, you spot more loving opportunities.
What you focus on, you get more of.
Marc and Angel

I enjoy finding inspirational old quotes and sayings. Their wise words so succinctly contain good counsel and recipes for life, if we are open to learning from them.

Livet er fullt av store ting for dem som evner a omgas de sma ting fortrolig
Life is full of great things for those who have the innate ability to enjoy the small.
Norwegian proverb

Do you agree with these old Norwegian proverbs?

I find there to be profound wisdom in proverbs, sayings and quotes and I marvel at the way they are so succinct, in communicating messages, to the reader. Mostly anonymous, they come to us from past generations and from across cultures. They speak of the experiences of lives lived and lessons learned. Quotes, like proverbs, make us think more deeply about something.
