Thought of the Day - Lifespan

Thought of the Day - Lifespan

Butterflies have a very brief lifespan. The average butterfly lives about two weeks, a rare few can live almost a year - but there are some species that live only two days. Yet if you have ever watched a butterfly as it gracefully moves from flower to flower, you would never know that its time on earth was ticking away so rapidly. The butterfly focuses on each petal, each drop of nectar, and it gets the most out of every moment. We get caught up in a time-frame or a looming deadline. We want to accomplish something quickly and it isn't happening the way that we imagined. Stop judging the process by its progress, and start reveling in the experience itself.

Thought Of The Day - Perfection

We are always under a lot of pressure  to do something well. This means we have to surpass everyone who has come before us. This means there can be no errors, no inhibitions, no stage fright, or any other failings that might possibly apply. But in focusing so much on perfection, we might miss the whole point. We get so caught up in the details that we will fail to see the big picture. We just need do your best and above all enjoy the experience - that is the ultimate perfection.
