“Á Whole New World…”
"A Whole New World" is a song from Disney's 1992 animated
feature film Aladdin. The song is a ballad between the primary characters
Aladdin and Jasmine about the new world they are going to discover together
while riding on Aladdin's magic carpet. A
version of the song was performed by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Whole_New_World
Some of the lyrics include:
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But now from way up here
It's crystal clear
that now I'm in a whole new world
with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
It is interesting that if we’d simply “be still,” look
around and breathe, we can see the world through a different perspective.
Many of us rush through our lives oblivious to the wonder
and beauty in front of us. We are too busy to listen to the sounds of nature,
soothing music or even the laughter of small children.
We often long to experience a life of exciting adventure,
when we have it directly in our view. It is often in the form of: the sun
breaking through the clouds…the gentle sound of rain…the laughter and optimism
of children…the wisdom of the elderly…the many blessings of an ordinary day.
The Bible says:
John 10:10 (NKJV): “… I have come that they may have life, and
that they may have it more abundantly.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NKJV): That which has been is what will be, That
which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.
Powerful Quotes:
“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our
exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first
time.” – T.S. Eliott
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you
look at change.” – Wayne Dyer
"What we SEE depends mainly on what we look for" -
John Lubbock
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” -

“We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we

asleep.” – Leonardo da Vinci
“Too often we are so preoccupied with the destination that
we forget the journey.”
Although we may long for a “whole new world,” we will find
that if we only pay attention and look at what has been and is directly in
front of us, we may see it anew…
