🌊🌸 Take a Lesson From This... 🌳☀️

It seems that so many people nowadays are always in a HURRY. Rushing to get somewhere while racking their brains over how they're going to accomplish this or that & tripping over themselves trying to keep up an image... it's a sad lifestyle, really. But it seems that the majority of the population has fallen victim to this social prison. We're in so much of a tizzy that we completely miss out on all of the beauty of God's creation that is laid out like a blanket right in front of us! Let's take more time to appreciate it. Stop, Breathe it in, RELAX. When you walk past a flower, stop & examine it. Look at all the beautiful details and color. There are colors in nature that put Crayola to shame. When you see the sun about to set, take the time to watch it! Absorb all the beautiful rays as they dip below the horizon. Look up at the clouds. Like us, they are ever moving & changing but they do so with grace. Take a moment to watch the trees. Observe the different types of bark each one possesses & watch the way the leaves dance in the breeze. Pay attention to the water. Just like us, it has places it needs to be. But rather than destroying itself getting there, it flows smoothly and directly, going around & over obstacles & overcoming barriers, all the while providing a habiat for all the creatures who inhabit it. If only we could be more like these things... thriving in our own beautiful & unique colors & shapes TOGETHER in harmony. Rising and setting whilst letting the light within us shine for the world to see instead of trying to be what others want us to be. Dancing peacefully with the breeze without being concerned about what someone might think of it. Moving with purpose & overcoming any obstacle that gets in our way rather than imploding the minute we're faced with it. We CAN be more like these things. It may be a daily effort at first. We are creatures of habit and habits are hard to break. But once you truly acquire that freedom of thought and no longer concern yourself with what the world thinks of you, you can be YOU. Work on YOU. Grow YOURSELF. Reach new levels of confidence and discover interests and skills that you never knew you had. After all, God created you. You have PURPOSE. You are IMPORTANT. It's time you treat yourself as such.
