“easy to spot a yellow car when you are always thinking of a yellow car.
easy to spot an opportunity when you are always thinking of opportunities.
easy to spot reasons to be mad when you are always thinking of being mad.
you become what you constantly think about. watch yourself.”

Brilliant quote and brilliant painting. If it was mine, I’d frame it to remind me to think of the SUN not the RAIN in my life. <3
