The Art of Possibility 5 of 15: Starfish
January 26, 2010 by dr. lam
A man spies a woman throwing starfish back into the vast ocean. The mans asks, “What are you doing? There are tons of starfish in the ocean. There is no need to save all of those that you are throwing back into the water. What does it matter?”
The woman calmly picks up the next starfish and whispers as she throws the next one back, “It matters to this one.”
Every situation can be a reflection of our negativity, pettiness, and narrow worldview; or it can reflect a broader beauty. Where are you today?
