The movie "Wild" was based on the true story of a young woman named Cheryl Strayed who hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. There are several worthwhile quotes in the movie and book but this one has always been a favorite.
“There’s always a sunrise and always a sunset and it’s up to you to choose to be there for it,’ said my mother. 'Put yourself in the way of beauty.”
It is true that we live in a world of ugly, but look closer. There is so much beauty to be found. Choose to "put yourself in the way of beauty."
