Consistent optimism expands and amplifies your thoughts and will power, increases your inner power and teaches the benefits of self-control, for to be consistently optimistic requires conscious choice and effort. Optimism, like the season of spring, is about rebirth, regeneration and renewal, and if you are an optimist, then it makes all your dealings with people and events much easier. Optimism is infectious; it rubs off on others who respond warmly and find their own outlook becoming more optimistic. Optimism is about believing in the best possible outcome for any situation or course of action.
The little flower was afraid. The day came when the risk of remaining closed away from the world, as a bud, was more agonising than the risk of blossoming. The flower bloomed. It gasped and then gave out such perfume that it filled the air with its happiness. Suddenly, all the other flowers bloomed as well, inspired by the little flower. What had been a rocky, soulless place became for a short time a garden of wonder.
Life should not be measured in the number of years you have lived but rather in the quality of the life you have led.
As you travel through life, take with you these three ideals: kindness, beauty and truth. Allow them to light your way and to give you fresh courage to face life when obstacles and difficulties litter your path. We recognise that when you are kind to another, you spread kindness in the world, when you recognise beauty, you add to the beauty in the world, and when you seek and speak the truth, you add to the truthfulness in the world. Powerful in its simplicity, this recognition is a beacon to live by. Allow the kindness, beauty and truth in you to surface and to show you the way forward when times are difficult. Live your life for yourself but live it for others too. This will bring a new sense of value to your life and will bring you balance too.
