To an untrained eye, a geode looks pretty much like an ordinary rock. But a trained geologist knows that inside the geode there is a beautiful crystal lining.
The story is the same for those who refuse to examine new possibilities because their minds are closed.
Life’s greatest opportunities, like the geode, often come in ordinary packaging.
Do not allow yourself to become such a creature of habit that you simply go through the motions and let life happen to you. Just walking a new route to work, or taking the time to read a book or visiting a museum at lunchtime will stimulate your thought processes and may help you open your mind to new possibilities.

Returning to childlike innocence and curiosity time-and-again helps to stimulate us spiritually, and opens our eyes to beauty in the seemingly mundane aspects of life. If we’re willing, everyone and everything is sacred. If we’re willing, life is a geode!
