Did you know that a purpose-driven life could mean a longer life span? A study that was published in the Archives of General Psychiatry argues that, purposeful people had a 30 percent lower rate of cognitive decline, a lower risk of diabetes, and we…
What do you really want out of life? What do you want to accomplish with your life? What is it you want to achieve? What is the ‘it’ that you desperately want to see happen? How badly do you want it? Why do want it? Are you prepared to fight till yo…
Nature provides us with plentiful supply of life lessons which we all need to heed to. There is a long-legged predatory bird native to Africa and also found throughout temperate Europe, Asia and India. You will find it mainly in wetland areas-around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It is called ‘Grey Heron’.
The Grey Heron feeds on aquatic creatures; mostly fish, which it hunts and catches by PATIENTLY standing completely STILL and MOTIONLESS, sometimes standing on ONE LEG, on a rock or sandbank beside or in the water, and striking rapidly when a fish comes into range. It can stand for more than TWO HOURS so motionless that you would find it really difficult to distinguish it from a replica plastic model placed in a pond.
I would like to bring to your attention two very important qualities about the Grey Heron that you need to cultivate in your life. First is the ability to WAIT PATIENTLY and second is the AGILITY to strike RAPIDLY and forcefully when OPPORTUNITY presents itself.
One of the biggest lesson to learn in life is how to wait patiently; waiting quietly unmoved; dignified stand in calmness. Calmness is a rare quality in human life. Calmness is absolute confidence in conscious power ready to be focused in the midst of any crisis. The person who is not calm is a coward victim of his environment. Nobody lives his life more consciously, more fully, more intentionally than the person who is calm.
A bumblebee is a member of one of the bee families found all over the world. They are large insects with short, stubby wings and round bodies. They are social insects; not overly aggressive stinging insects. Female Bumblebees can sting repeatedly, but generally ignore humans and other animals. Unlike the honey bees, Bumblebees don't die when they sting.
Bumblebees are much larger than the honeybees. According to the laws of aerodynamics, bumblebees are not supposed to be able to fly. But the Bumblebee defies those laws and they fly anyhow. We see Bumblebees out flying around us every single day. A Bumblebee has defied science and logic. How is that possible? Perhaps it is because nobody ever told the Bumblebee that they’re not supposed to be able to fly. The Bumblebee is intelligently ignorant. It doesn’t know that it cannot fly. They have never heard anyone tell them that they can’t fly and so they just go ahead and fly. How the tiny wings keep the large body in the air is another marvel of Mother Nature. Rather than flap its wings up and down, the Bumblebee flaps its wings back and forth. The wings flap more than 130 times per second. This flapping sweeps the air somewhat like a spin of a helicopter propeller and it keeps the insect up in the air.
A certain man was strolling in his garden one bright Saturday morning when he found a cocoon on the pathway which had dropped off from a nearby tree. He noticed that the butterfly had begun to emerge and so he stopped to watch. For about forty and five minutes it struggled really hard and within that time only the head and part of one side of the wings had emerged free from the cocoon.
Thinking that he would accelerate the process to help the struggling butterfly, he dug into his pocket and pulled out his razor sharp pocket knife to cut open the cocoon to release the emerging larvae. To his surprise, he discovered that the only part which was fully developed was the part that had emerged out through great effort and struggle. The part he had cut free was still undeveloped and therefore not ready to be exposed to the elements outside the cocoon. Instead of helping the larvae become a butterfly, he had unfortunately aborted the process. The half developed butterfly soon died.
If you're a lady and on the dating scene, no matter what your story line is; you may have dated and married a guy while you were young and now suddenly find yourself divorced; perhaps you got busy building your career and somehow lost track of time and now you are past 35; or you gave your best years to a man who never committed to you.
You probably could be having lots of questions swirling around in your mind: “Where and how do I find an honest man? How do I find the kind of man who won't hurt me? Does a great man even exist out somewhere, one whom I can respect?” You may at times have felt like all the good men are taken up already but I wonder whether it has ever occurred to you that your own beliefs may be sabotaging your success in finding love. Well, your Mr. Right does exist, and here's how to spot him.
