Nature. Beauty. Gratitude.
As we race from activity to activity thinking about the next thing to be done and focused on the future, it is important to pause and reflect on the beauty of the moment.
Louie Schwartzberg’s TED Talk “Nature. Beauty. Gratitude.” part of his Moving Art fight against Nature Deficit Disorder will take you away while reminding you to be in the moment. His stunning time-lapse photography prompts us to pause and be grateful for the beauty of incremental progress. His Happiness Revealed project allows us the opportunity to look at the world with the wonder of a child and the wisdom of an elderly man.
Today is not just another day in your life. Approach the gift of today with an open heart and gratefulness, “as if today was your very first day and the last day of your life.” Open your eyes and appreciate the beauty of nature. Take a moment to breathe in the air we too often take for granted. Feel the world through all of your senses and share it with those you love.
At the end of the day, reflect on the blessings in your life because you noticed and set a daily intention that everyone you meet will be blessed by your presence.
