Perspective is everything.
You can be on the beach, but be in a prison cell. You can be in a prison cell, but be on the beach.
Choose. Don't let your default choose for you.

The ancient Masters were profound and subtle.
Their wisdom was unfathomable.
There is no way to describe it; all we can describe is their appearance.
They were careful as someone crossing an iced-over stream.
Alert as a warrior in enemy territory.
Courteous as a guest.
Fluid as melting ice.
Shapable as a block of wood.
Receptive as a valley.
Clear as a glass of water.
Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?
The Master doesn’t seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting, she is present, and can welcome all things.
—— Laozi, Tao Te Ching, Verse 15
