This past weekend I found myself walking alongside this fountain and couldn’t help but stop. {you may have seen it on my insta story} There was something serene about the sound of the trickling water and the way the cool breeze caused little ripples in the bottom pool. Amidst all the chaos of New York City, I found peace.
In life, I believe we find what we look for. If you look for the good, you will find it. If you look for the bad, you will find it. One of my favorite quotes is “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it” by Charles R. Swindoll. Joy is our choice. This week, let’s look for the good! When we find beauty, let’s stop for a moment and relish in it! Remember, you find what you look for!
Yes! LOVE that quote! Beautiful fountain, too! XO!
Love love love this reminder! SOOO good! Happy Monday!
I completely agree! I always remind myself that it’s my choice how I act and react to things. I don’t always choose wisely ? but hey, I try!
This was such a beautiful reminder for my Monday! And so encouraging for the rest of the week!
This is so well said and I couldn’t agree more with this post! If you have a positive outlook on life, you will see positive things!

So true. Your thoughts are more powerful than you think. Think positive and look for the good in life!
What you percieve you will recieve.. If you think positively then might as well get positive results. Life is always surprising and sometimes the way we see things makes all the difference! Stay blessed :)
I love being around running water. There is something about it that is so relaxing all the time!
I love that quote! I really needed this today…life is all about making the best of what you have! You’re so inspiring, girl!

True true. It’s like we attract what we think of, what we look for. Keep inspiring! :)

I also love to walk by myself sometimes and just think, enjoying serene sounds of water, like you did passing by near this fountain.
Indeed you do find what you’re looking for if you listen really hard… :) I love fountains, they have a calming effect on me and make me think more clearly and put things in better perspective. :)
I can definitely see how you found peace in this feature. It is gorgeous! I find space and freedom going for walks around my home just exploring. We live on 18+ acres, so I am always able to find something new.
Such beautiful sentiment…thank you for sharing:)

It’s truly meaningful that you found your spot. Finding a quiet place in such a bustling city is not very easy. It may not be overly special or serene, but it’s yours. :)

I would agree that you can find what you look for. But most of the time, it doesn’t happen because we’re meant to find things we didn’t expect to find and realize that what we’re looking for is not what we really wanted :)

I agree with Janine… there are times in our life that we get the opposite of what we want but simply because God has other plans for us and He is preparing us for a much better place! BUT if the luck is really in our hands, sometimes we really find what we are looking for in no time
Chloe, i love this! Your words are so beautiful!

What a great post. Right to the point. The pic really is serene. And the quote is amazing. You really do find what you look for. Sometimes I look for negativity without even being conscious of it. Vigilance is a must when it comes to the mind!
