Discovered Inspirations

It’s never too late…

TO WATCH THE SUNSET

It’s one of nature’s greatest wonders.
No artist can truly capture its aura.
No film can reproduce its splendour.
Watch it alone or with a loved one.
Drink it in.
Feel humble but feel alive.
Be inspired by its magnificence. 
From the book “it’s never too late” by Patrick Lindsay

This sunset photo was captured two weeks ago. We arrived home in time for the sun to set. It was a comforting sight after a long day at work.
This one was captured yesterday. We had a very rainy Saturday and then yesterday, the Sun decided to come out. But then it rained very hard again in the late afternoon. The sun shone amidst the rain and the sky was captivating. Yesterday also marked the last weekend of Summer in Sydney so I decided to capture what the sky looked like as another Summer season is about to end.


I found this card that says, “DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY” at a stationery shop so I placed it on top of our book shelf where we can always see it.
do more of what makes you happy
We already have a happy home but it’s always nice to have little notes that will remind us
to always do things we love, 
to never take the things we love for granted 
and
to always think of what will make us happy.

Life is too short to pursue things that make us unhappy. Life becomes more meaningful when the things we always do results to a happier you.

Here’s another wonderful manifesto I found online.  


This an inspiring reminder on how we can cultivate a home of love, compassion, gratitude and positivity.

I’m not a parent yet but reading this manifesto made me realize that there’s a parent in all of us because we are all capable of taking care of one another and have compassion towards each other. In so many ways, I have felt parental love from friends and strangers whom I’ve met by fate. I’m aware too that sometimes when friends come to me, I take the role of a sister or a parent to them. 

Reading this was also an affirmation of how blessed I am to have special people who never ceased to let me feel important to them. A simple greeting via text, email or tweet, a phone call just to say hello and taking the time to have a cup of coffee or a meal are sweet little things that doesn’t cost much but feels extravagantly special to my heart. Having family and friends around is God’s way of taking care of us.

Happy Monday and may we all have a great week ahead!
