Become more and more cheerful, enthusiastic about small things, even very small things….
“ Joy is the antidote to all fear. Fear comes if you don’t enjoy life. If you enjoy life, fear disappears.
Be positive and enjoy more, laugh more, dance more, sing more. Become more and more cheerful, enthusiastic about small things, even very small things. Life consists of small things, but if you can bring the quality of cheerfulness to small things, the total will be tremendous.
So don’t wait for anything great to happen. Great things do happen-it is not that they don’t –but don’t wait for something great to happen. It happens only when you start living small, ordinary day-to-day things with a new mind, with new freshness, with new vitality, with new enthusiasm. Then by and by you accumulate, and that accumulation one day explodes into sheer joy.
But one never knows when it will happen. One has just to go on collecting pebbles on the shore. The totality becomes the great happening. When you collect one pebble it is a pebble. When all the pebbles are together, suddenly they are diamonds. That’s the miracle of life.
There are many people in the world who miss because they are always waiting for something great. It can’t happen. It happens only through small things: eating your breakfast, walking, taking a bath, talking to a friend, just sitting alone looking at the sky or lying on your bed doing nothing. These small things are what life is made of. They are the very stuff of life …. “

“ Hiding in this cage
of visible matter
is the invisible
life bird
pay attention
to her
she is singing
your song “
