One joy scatters a hundred griefs

One joy scatters a hundred griefs~Chinese proverb I was looking at this simple quote other day, isn't it funny and how true this is, sometimes unknowingly you find joy in something and for that timeless moment all is forgotten. I am like that in the garden while am busy beautifying and working and absorbed for the moment then a distraction of a fluttering butterfly will fly past, birds chirping and crickets making that funny odd chirpy noise. I am reminded how wild and beautiful earth is. That's why I think I love photo's, pictures of nature and nature documentaries. When you look at the world as amazing it makes you feel good. There is so much healing from the plants to the scenery, if you just take one component away such as trees we would not survive without oxygen for very long. This earth helps sustains us and it shows us everyday without fail the wonder and energy of the earth. Great is the sun that brings us warmth and help plants grow, and the rain and water that each life needs and thrives. There is much more to our lives then today's worries and gotta do's. When we see something wonderful there is something deep in us that reflects back at us, could it be joyful or love and appreciation, when you do more to grow this wonder and passion within you, you find an inner energy that expands you to be more. There is more life in you.
I've had the complete opposite of that feeling in the past where your mind wonders from fear to fear, there is always something. You only have to talk to someone, and they have something, something to worry, something to fear. When people fear, their is stress to the body, that big added stress to their life. I have friends who are up and down emotionally and feel life is like a roller coaster. I seen my past and I see them now, and the only thing different from me then and me now is my thoughts. How powerful our daily thoughts are to each persons life.

Quote~ If you want to change the world start with yourself~Gandhi
This quote is very true, we find balance with our self and we change the world. What happens with each individual instead of at war and anger at everyone, new life started with them, if we act from a place of peace, and our mind at peace, does this not effect how we feel towards others, feel towards ourselves and all life. Mans thoughts create conflict but it also creates life. The only way to change ourselves is keep what nurtures, what helps, what strengthens. All could be great and you could be blessed with so many things in your life, but if you are busy worrying endlessly you are not blessed you are at war. Peace begins with us.

Why do angels fly~because they take themselves lightly. Take this world lightly with kind eyes and a bit of humour, always find something that makes you smile or another to smile and you'll find this world brings you much peace and it starts with you. When you are for the world you are strong, when you are against the world you are weak. Anger weakens, love strengthens. ~Wishing all a great week a head~.
