Why Be A Butterfly?

Leave a comment

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. – Rabindranath Tagore

how do we live?

Straddled by thoughts and resentments of the past? Or buried by anxious thoughts of the future? Both? There has to be a better way! Be like a butterfly!

We are beautiful, let’s recognize that beauty and then find and appreciate beauty all around us, just like a butterfly! Flutter about in total delight, stay in the moment, smell roses and make nectar out of all that’s beautiful around. Forgive the past (including the personalities) and worry not about the future, it’ll take care of itself!

affirmations

What Do We Attract?

When you wish good for others, good things come back to you. This is the law of nature. – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Why Pursue Meaning?

Leave a comment

If you want happiness for an hour – take a nap. If you want happiness for a day – go fishing. If you want happiness for a year – inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime – help someone else.  – Chinese Proverb

a meaningful life

A meaningful life will always translate into true happiness and joy. Any pursuit that doesn’t support a deeper meaning and drive will result in an empty life. We’ve all experienced both these extremes. It behooves us to consider pursuing desires that are deeply meaningful.

“In the end, the way to lead a joyful life is not to pursue happiness for ourselves, but to pursue it for others. The good life is not about getting what we want; it’s about having what it takes to give to others.”

– Christine Carter

affirmations

Today I AM thinking twice about every desire that I generate. I AM thinking about how my every action helps others and not just myself. I AM starting to live for others…
