Some People

Some people have really been blessed with the gift of expressing their thoughts in words. I just discovered the inspirational writings of Flavia Weedn, a woman whose words are well worth a few seconds of our time.

Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go… Some stay for awhile and embrace our silent dreams.

They help us become aware of the delicate winds of hope… and we discover within every human spirit there are wings yearning to fly.

They help our hearts to see that the only stairway to the stars is woven with dreams… and we find ourselves unafraid to reach high.

They celebrate the true essence of who we are… and have faith in all that we may become.

Some people awaken us to new and deeper realizations… for we gain insight from the passing whisper of their wisdom.

Throughout our lives we are sent precious souls… meant to share our journey however brief or lasting their stay they remind us why we are here.

To learn… to teach… to nurture… to love

Some people come into our lives to cast a steady light upon our path and guide our every step, their shining belief in us helps us to believe in ourselves.

Some  people come into our lives to teach us about love… The love that rests within ourselves.

Let us reach out to others and feel the bliss of giving, for love is far richer in action that it ever is in words.

Some people come into our lives and they move our souls to sing and make our spirits dance.

They help us to see that everything on earth is part of the incredibility of life… and that it is always there for us to take of its joy.

Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

I Have a Dream

Found a handful of nostalgic Youtube clips that I’d like to share, and here’s the first one. As a young girl I was quite fond of Abba’s music, and this song was one of my absolute favorites back then. I remember being touched by its lyrics, and I still am. These words really say it all; if we keep the ability to see the wonders in life, then we can take most any challenge that may come our way.

For Inspiration

Found this very inspirational video that I just have to share with you. Put your headphones on and enjoy! And remember; What you think, you become ~Buddha

The Colors of Change

We know for a fact, change is an inevitable part of life. Still, our immediate response to change often seems to be resistance.

When we realize that something in our lives is about to change, it is often seen as a threat. We wish to stay with the routine and what’s familiar and safe. We wish for things to stay the way they always did. I suppose it’s only natural. After all, in order to move on we must leave our own comfort zone, and head off to what’s unknown and uncertain. Clearly it’s uncomfortable. It may be scary or even hurtful.

Even so, I believe we owe it to ourselves to ask this one question; Why do I wish to stick with what’s familiar and safe? Is it because it’s really something good, because this is everything I wanted my life to be like?

Or is it because I am afraid to embrace the unknown, because I am unwilling to admit to myself that there is something unsatisfactory or incomplete about the life I am currently living?

As we grow older, we watch and interact with the world around us; we learn, we explore, we realize things we previously would fail to understand. We reach the end of an era, and the beginning of something new.

Life itself is our teacher, continuously educating us as we keep walking its path. And change is necessary for us to reach our dreams and let us become who we need to be deep inside. And so it comes down to this:

Being willing to surrender what we are, in order to embrace what we may become.

Nature welcomes the Colors of Change. Do you and I have the courage to do the same?

Towards the Horizon

Today I let this photo and these words speak for themselves:

Think no small thoughts, dream no small dreams,

’cause you can only travel as far as your imagination takes you

Fly Anyway

Recently we bought “The Bee Movie” for the kids. It’s a cute story; about friendship, courage, independence, and discovering the meaning of life.

What I’d like to share with you though, are a few words at the very beginning of the movie:

According to all known laws of aviation,

there is no way that a bee should be able to fly.

Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.

The bee, of course, flies anyway.

Because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.

I think it’s brilliant; the bee flies anyway, because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.

In life, we may sometimes experience that people around us are not supporting our plans and dreams. They may tell us that we mustn’t, we shouldn’t, we can’t. Maybe they do this based on a sincere wish to protect us from disappointment or even danger. But it may also be that they are generally afraid of anything that is not 100 % safe and secure. However, in most cases; if you want to accomplish something, then you must be willing to take a chance or two.

So what is my point exactly? Simply this:

If there is something you need to do, something that you really believe in, and you know within your heart that you can make it; don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t.

Fly anyway!
