pariisms V

Its not about what you look at but what you see, it is not about the object but our perception of it

Like we spring clean our homes, once in a while we should spring clean our lives and rid it of bad habits

Would we appreciate blue skies if it wasn't for grey ones

Why should a hurdle in the path be a deterrent and not a reason to jump higher till finally we can find our wings and soar high

Difficulties, setbacks and adversities probably come to teach us patience, fortitude and forbearance and not to disappoint, disillusion and discourage.

Everything that happens to us is to equip us to find our place in the grand design of things and finally fit into it.

Through art, writing, photography and other creative mediums, we pass on our vision of our world to those in the future, as those in the past have left their vision for us and for the future generations.

No occupation, hobby, relationship, addiction or even pain should become such an obsession that it blinds us to the gifts that life is continuously offering.

The purpose of life lies not in attaining distant goals in some unforeseeable future, but in living each day to the fullest in a way that is enriching for us and for others, by loving, learning, teaching, giving, caring, sharing and laughing as much as we can.

How many world leaders actually choose to lead their country out of an honest desire to serve it and its people and to improve their lot in life. Lets face it most world leaders are power and wealth hungry individuals who think leadership is the best way to attain all their selfish goals.
