"You've probably heard the expression "stop and smell the roses" a
thousand times. But do you really understand the tremendous wisdom and importance in that old cliche?
When we take a few moments each day to stop and be present with the beauty around us - nature, wildlife, technology, people, etc. - we get to enjoy the very best and brightest that life has to offer.
In these moments we are filled with gratitude, love and peace. We aren't anxious about the future and we don't feel any guilt or regret about the past. This habit becomes the basis for living a peaceful, purposeful, passionate life in and of itself.
Each day this week, take time to "stop and smell the roses."
What do you see that is truly awesome?
A beautifully blossomed flower?
A baby deer?
A brand new building?
Your grandmother?"
Find something to focus on each day that is truly awesome to you, and write about how you feel in that moment when you're truly present to life's beauty.
