🥀In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous 🥀
It reminds us that nature, in its complexity and simplicity alike, holds a certain marvel that can inspire awe and admiration. Whether it's the intricacy of a spider's web, the rhythm of ocean waves, or the delicate balance of ecosystems, nature reflects a level of detail and order that often goes unnoticed until we pause to observe it closely.
Every element of nature, no matter how small or large, plays a role in a grander system that sustains life. This interdependence is itself marvelous — a reminder of the underlying harmony that often contrasts with the chaos humans experience in daily life. By appreciating the marvelous aspects of nature, we also gain a deeper understanding of the natural laws that govern the world.
The feeling of marvel often sparks deeper inquiry and exploration, leading to scientific discovery, artistic expression, or spiritual insight. Nature, with its endless variety and wisdom, continually provides opportunities for us to learn, grow, and connect with something greater than ourselves. Thus, Aristotle's words call for both humility and reverence for the world around us, reminding us to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.

🥀Love All, Trust a Few, Do Wrong to None🥀
Spreading love and light to everyone is a mantra we should all follow. Changing the world, one person at a time has been so often repeated. So why do we struggle with the concept of spreading love?
Human beings apply the ideal of love to intimacy. Something that is shared between two people who enjoy each others company. The reality is “Love” is more than a feeling. It is kindness. It is generosity. It is sharing. It is light. When food is shared with those who are hungry, love is being shared. When a door is held for another, love is held as respect. A smile shared with a kind word is love passed along to another. Sharing love with everyone is not difficult when you realize that a simple act of kindness will spread love wherever you go.
Trust in a few. It totally amazes me how this one value, trust, is the easiest to break within relationships. Most often very innocently and unknowingly. Those who scheme, manipulate or scam others do so with an end goal in mind. Their selfish desire to accomplish and achieve will see no reality until they have stepped on or over someone else. We innocently expect those close to us to defend us when we are under attack, protect us in uncomfortable situations or to just be there in our time of need.

🥀You can because you must and you just do 🥀
There is an endless list of things I think I cannot do. For example, I think I cannot play any musical instrument very well, do a hand stand, or perform surgery on any one for any reason. I also don’t feel any real interest in doing those things. But Eleanor didn’t say the things – she spoke singularly. She said the thing. One thing.
The thing is the pull of your passion you have been denying yourself. It’s what you truly want. It could be your profession, your big adventure, your satisfying relationship, your creative outlet, your expanded knowledge, your social advocacy. It’s most definitely not your safety and your security. Why? Because the thing you think you cannot do is the thing you think will expose you. It will expose you to failure, censure, poverty, loneliness, pain, and loss.
A good friend of mine is famous for affirming that when someone says they cannot do something, what they mean is they are unwilling to do something. What she’s addressing is the underlying choices we make every moment of every day. When we say things absolutely cannot be done, such as “I cannot talk right now,” what we mean is that we are unwilling to talk at the expense of something else we are doing. When we say, “I cannot have children,
what we mean is we are unable to conceive, and we are limiting the infinite possibilities of having children, such as the ability to adopt, or place ourselves in a role where we are nurturing children we are not biologically related to. We say, “It’s just not the same,” and it isn’t. But that does not mean we must deny the possibility. It means we are unwilling to because we have firm expectations about how something must happen in order for it to be valid.

🥀Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making plans.🥀
It’s always struck me as a potent reminder that we can create all sorts of goals and ambitions for the future, but when we have a strong orientation to the future we can forget to live fully in the meantime.
This comes up regularly in my work as the ‘I’ll be happy when’ trap, where we defer or export our happiness out into the future until we have achieved something that has specific meaning and significance to us. But as most people know (at least intellectually), that is not how life works as I wrote about in my recent article on mastery; when we do achieve a goal or outcome the feeling of satisfaction is fleeting at best and usually not what we had expected.
I sometimes ask my clients who find themselves preoccupied with the future whether they would choose the gift of being able to predict what is going to happen in their life. Some instantly reply no, whilst others pause for a moment, as if this is actually an attractive proposition, but then the realisation kicks in that to be able to predict the future takes all the mystery out of life, just as Kierkegaard wrote,
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

🥀When you are wrong admit it when you are right be quiet 🥀
"When you're wrong, admit it. When you're right, be quiet" encapsulates the virtue of humility and the importance of being honest with oneself and others.
Admitting when you're wrong requires courage and self-awareness. It involves acknowledging mistakes, taking responsibility for them, and being open to learning and growth. By doing so, you not only demonstrate integrity but also create opportunities for improvement and understanding.
On the other hand, when you're right, being quiet reflects wisdom and restraint. It means refraining from unnecessary boasting or seeking validation. Instead, it allows others to draw their own conclusions or express their perspectives without overshadowing them with your own correctness. This fosters respect and harmony in interactions, promoting collaboration and mutual respect.
This principle encourages humility in defeat and graciousness in victory, fostering healthy relationships and personal development.

🥀If it doesn't open, it's not your door 🥀
Nothing is impossible or so you thought… until you find yourself in a situation where you don’t get the results you have desperately (and sometimes eagerly) been wishing for. A failed exam, a rejected job application, a promotion not granted, a relationship that does not progress further when things like this happen, are you one to question? Or do you move forward?
I am a firm believer that things always happen for a reason even if you don’t know or understand what the reason is at the time.
Yes you need to take life by the reigns and steer it towards the direction you want it too and yes you need to put in the hard work because you reap what you sow but there will always be things that no matter what you do, will never be something you can control.
Breathe. Let go. If things were meant to happen, they will happen. In saying this, I am not telling you to give up only that you need to be PATIENT. Maybe it is not yet the right time. Maybe it is meant for someone else who needed it more than you do. Maybe it is a lesson.
“If it doesn’t open it isn’t your door.”
But do not despair. There are other doors that will open for you — some you might not even have dreamed of opening yourself… until one day you find yourself further along the road, looking back, and finally understanding how all of it was meant to happen the way it did.

🥀Hold the vision Trust the process 🥀
As human beings, we are naturally inclined to want instant gratification. We want results, and we want them now. However, achieving success requires a different approach. Success is a journey, not a destination. It requires time, patience, and hard work. It's important to have a vision of what we want to achieve and trust the process.
Having a clear vision helps you to stay focused and motivated. It gives you direction and purpose, and it helps you to overcome obstacles along the way. When you have a vision, you are more likely to stay committed to achieving your goals. You know what you want, and you are willing to put in the effort to get it. A vision also helps you to stay on track when things get tough. It reminds you why you started and why you are willing to keep going.
Trusting the process means believing in yourself and your abilities. It's about knowing that you have what it takes to achieve your goals, even if it takes longer than you anticipated. It's also about being open to learning and growing along the way. You may encounter setbacks, but trust that they are part of the process and that you will come out stronger on the other side.
When you trust the process, you are more likely to stay committed to your goals. You understand that success takes time and that there are no shortcuts. You are willing to put in the effort, even when it's difficult because you know that the process is leading you toward your vision.
To achieve success, it's important to have a balance between holding the vision and trusting the process. You need to know what you want to achieve, but you also need to be patient and willing to put in the work to get there. Remember that success is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the process, learn from your experiences, and trust that you will achieve your goals.

🥀Mistakes are proof that you are trying 🥀
Often, we hear the saying, “people make mistakes.” But what we don’t hear is that it is through these mistakes, we learn.
It is normal to stumble as we try to reach for our goals. It is how we surpass our challenges that count.
In any business venture, entrepreneurs experience up’s and down’s before they even become successful. Successful entrepreneurs are those who even made countless mistakes. At one point of their lives, they may have even regretted certain decisions. But once they reach their goals, they would simply look at those as part of the whole experience.
Mistakes, challenges, and finding solutions are just part of the whole deal. Building a business just won’t go without them. Through these, we also become better people. It is better to make a mistake because you’re trying rather than always be in the safe side and never knowing what’s the extent of your capabilities is. You learn and grow whenever you stumble and fall. But you also learn how to get up and avoid making the same mistake as you go along.
As you make mistakes, you’re also on your way on making great things happen.
So when you make a mistake, just pull yourself together and just remember that it’s all part of the experience and it is a requirement for success.

🥀When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears 🥀
This quote challenges us to reconsider our definition of wealth and abundance. In a society that equates possessions with prosperity, it serves as a poignant reminder that true richness lies not in material possessions but in the experiences and connections that enrich our lives.
Sunlight, for instance, is not merely a source of illumination; it is a symbol of vitality and energy. Its warmth can rejuvenate the spirit and inspire wonder and gratitude. Similarly, walking or running offers physical exercise and a chance to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
Laughter, often described as the best medicine, is a testament to the joy that can be found in even the simplest of moments. It transcends barriers of language and culture, bringing people together in shared moments of happiness and camaraderie.
Grounding, or connecting with the earth, reminds us of our place in the natural world and fosters a sense of balance and serenity. In a fast-paced society driven by constant stimulation, it offers a much-needed opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves.

🥀Beauty is not in the face Beauty is a light in the heart 🥀
Much difference exists between looking beautiful and feeling beautiful. The former refers to the visual elements, such as, your body shape, your skin and your hair while the latter refers to your inner beauty. Inner beauty is based on one's personality traits, such as, action, attitudes and behavior. It's our inner beauty which is reflected in our soul. It leads us towards positivity. If we feel good about ourselves, we can increase our self-confidence and lead ourselves towards total self-improvement. So, there is a need for increasing inner beauty.
Real beauty is not to be conformed to conventional beauty standards, but it’s to one’s inner self - Your inner self is the person you are inside. Real beauty is on the inside which is more important than one’s outward appearance. One looks good with external looks, but is known better in terms of internal features. It's personality which is based on one’s emotional, intellectual and spiritual qualities. Inner beauty is something on which a person needs to pay attention, because, as he gets on with his life, all deeds and actions are drawn from that inner beauty. Hence, the need is to acknowledge and improve inner beauty to lead life successfully.

🥀A good education is a foundation for a better future 🥀
Just like we build strong foundations of our homes to make them last an for decades; the same approach should be followed for building a strong learning foundation for children. Early foundational learning is critical for a child’s later learning. In fact, a strong early learning foundation is the ladder to ensure a future where they can adapt and thrive.
One cannot fully discover a child’s full potential if one only emphasizes on completing the set curriculum and content. What is key is nurturing essential life skills. When children are given sufficient time and space to build strong foundations with respect to skill development, it paves the way a future where they can make decisions and continue to be critical, creative thinkers and doers.
Educationists need to emphasize on building strong foundations in terms of activities such as playing, singing, running, painting.
The importance of unstructured learning too cannot be emphasized, enough . These activities may be said to be simple activities but their role in a child’s learning foundation is indispensable. They play a crucial role in building important cognitive, social and emotional skills. They also help build visual skills, listening skills, speaking skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills and enhance cognitive ability and decision-making.

🥀Without trust life of a relationship is short 🥀
This reflects a fundamental problem in a relationship without trust, where cycles of doubt and misunderstanding erode the bond between partners. Addressing this lack of trust is essential for a secure and healthy connection.
One, or both, individuals tend to voice this on a regular basis when there is conflict in the relationship. Psychologists know that the real problem are many time more complex than just one issue. However, the issue of trust is central to any relationship.
There is a sense that one is not as trustworthy because of a “pattern of behaviors” that has raised questions in the other one. Sometimes these patterns have to do with immature relating patterns where one member is spoiled, does what they want, forgets to tell their mates, or only tells part of the story.
At other times it is that pattern is one where one partner avoids dealing with issues until they “explode in the face of the relationship” causing more blaming and finger pointing. Other patterns include ones where one assumes the role of the “co-dependent parent” who is going to help and parent the more incompetent one deal with life.
Some situations involve all of the above patterns, and others, that cause the couple to not trust one or the other.

🥀Don't jump in the water if you can't swim🥀
"Don't take risks you're not ready for." When you relate this to swimming, it's clear that if you can't swim, jumping into deep water could be dangerous. It's a metaphor for life too. Before tackling a challenge or starting something new, it's smart to make sure you have the skills or knowledge needed to handle it.
It's about knowing yourself and your limitations. Just like in swimming, where jumping without the ability to swim can lead to trouble, in life, taking on tasks or challenges without the necessary skills or preparation can also have negative consequences. It encourages us to assess our capabilities and make informed decisions to avoid unnecessary risks or failures.
It's a reminder to assess situations before diving in headfirst. By understanding our strengths and weaknesses, we can make better choices and approach challenges with confidence. It's about being responsible for our actions and ensuring that we are equipped to handle whatever comes our way. So, whether it's about swimming or life in general, being prepared and knowing your limits is key to success and safety.
