Flowers bloom in the garden should immediately cut before it’s late, put in a flower vase, placed on the table as a decoration, presenting the beauty and aroma. Refreshing the eyes for a few days, some from buds to blooms and begin to wilt. Even Osho said;
“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.”
But enjoy the beauty right now… Pick up the joy, happiness, and peace of the moment right now from any source of the event, with any kind of taste; Bitter, sweet, sour or salty or even tasteless. Take the opportunity that comes blatantly or undercover, from all circumstances, all actions, all actions of reaction, not because tomorrow there is no equal opportunity but because happy not worth delayed!
Obsoleta, obsolete!
A wilted flower which no longer attractive before eyes, because it is obsolete than the place is a trash bin or, if wise, drill and make it as a natural fertilizer.
Outdated paradigms, worn-out ways, outdated concepts, outdated ideas and outdated things have to be discarded, the trash can is the most suitable container for it. The obsolete will rot, do not save the damaged because we like the damage or deliberately in order to always steal energy from other sources.
Unless it is eligible for repair, the damaged is essential for immediate attention and sufficient effort to be immediately useful, especially regarding our nature.
To be wise we should not be obsolete!
To be happy we should not be obsolete!
Let’s be happy!
But don’t forget to distinguish the eternal with something that obsolete easily, which one invalid forever, something that should always be updated…
I agree with Doc, but I know you are humble lol.
Why are you siding with him and not me, LaJenna?
Just love to give you a hard time lol. Your post are always inspiring.
If that’s the reason, I’m grateful because for that you have given your best effort.
Thank you for your lovely words as well, dear friend.
Nice quote. There are times I welcome the fresh smell of lavender flowers in the house and they last for a very long time. However, for some reason I don’t.
Yes, we should enjoy what we have as is.
Thanks, Pamela. You have lavender, a special flower that is important enough to reduce the onslaught of mosquitoes in my place.
You are right, enjoy what we have as it is are the special attitude, something special like lavender too.
Great and inspiring message! And I love that quote by Osho.
Let’s be happy!
Thanks a lot, Ellie. As I said, somehow we have shared the same Osho quotes. Hehe…
Your wise philosophy of life, love and living is always is always welcomed.
Pleased to exchange appreciation with a lover of beauty and wisdom like you, my brother.
Words of wisdom that reach the soul, that impact and motivate. I like this reflection, but I want to highlight this: “Love is not about possession, it is about appreciation” I congratulate you for your excellent publication.
Thank you very much for the compliment, Arelis.
Strongly agree that love is not about possession, but about everything, where we are is in it and it dwells in us. Namaste.
Thank you so much for the compliment, Tas. Glad you love it.
Another nice story and excellent post! 🙂
Thank you very much for the compliment, Elena. Glad you like it.
Powerful reminder for all to read. I bring roses in every to enjoy both inside and outside. Too bad I cannot do the same with bluebirds. Thanks for reminding us life is precious and should be enjoyed by being happy and grabbing each moment we can.
Thanks, Carol. Well, you know that I just try to deliver everything that I thought to be useful to live our lives in happiness.
You have succeeded in my opinion.
Wow! What a nice feedback, Carol. Thank you………..
You are very welcome my friend.
As a consultant at times, you also have to consider Carpe Per Diem. But that is only in places where the per diem is less than the cost of the food you are going to eat.
🙂
What I mean here is just about the willingness to enjoy anything today, this moment, this tick, don’t delay something so we don’t have to regret or disappointed if something not going to fall into place as we expected or predict.
My apologies, I was being a smart aleck. Seizing the day is critical for all of us to consider and when possible complete.
Owhh… There’s nothing wrong with what you’ve said, Coach. This merely a point of view to see the same elephant.
Point of view, and the orientation of the observer is something I talk to young IT people about all the time. John Boyd created a concept called the “OODA loop” talking about that concept…
That means you are capable of looking at things thoroughly, Coach!
I would say, sometimes. Mostly I focus on trying to fix those things around me I can control and when possible let the rest flow away from me.
That makes perfect sense, Coach.
Thanks Albert, the time you spend enlightening me and many others is welcomed and enjoyed!
I think the appreciation is too big, Doc, but I am grateful and thankful.
But of course you would 😉 It is part of what makes you so special.
