You'll Find What You're Looking For

The world is filled with good things and bad things. What your life will become is based on what you are looking for. Buzzards consistently find dead carcasses and hummingbirds always find beautiful flowers. That’s what they look for. They’re happy when they find what they’re looking for.

But how different the life of the buzzard from the life of the hummingbird. Who wants to be anywhere near the buzzard? . . . but we go to great lengths to attract the hummingbird. I don’t know anyone who has a buzzard feeder in their backyard.

Some people are like buzzards. They are the happiest when they are fussing and fighting over the dead carcass of someone’s misfortune. They want to be the first one there to be able to spread the news. So, they always keep a sharp eye out for weaknesses in others. They live on garbage.

And then there’s the hummingbirds in life. They make you smile. Just seeing one makes you feel happier. They appreciate the beauty in the world. They ignore the trash and rottenness. It’s there, but they are not attracted to it. Just like the buzzards aren’t attracted to flowers. Both birds live in the same world – but they are looking for radically different things.

Our life is shaped by what we’re looking for. We find what we’re looking for. The course of our life is shaped by what we’re attracted to – because that’s where we hang out.  That’s where our heart is.

You can focus on what you don’t have and all the problems in life and fill your life with anger, jealousy and hatred – there’s plenty of garbage out there to feed on; or you can search for the flowers. You’ll find what you’re looking for.
