“Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.” ~ William S. Burroughs
People nowadays are so busy with stressing themselves with a lot of things - from work, earning money, to love - that they forget to do one of the most important things in life – to relax. I myself am a guilty practitioner of having the inability to relax most of the time. Which is also why I placed my favorite quote, “Simple pleasures are the essence of life.” by Epicurus, as my personal email signature to remind myself how important it is to appreciate life’s simple pleasures.
It doesn’t matter if you’re going to Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa or just spend the night stargazing, so long as you achieve that state of blissful relaxation. Being in a relaxed state, forgetting about your worries even for a short time does wonders. Truly.
I have had a lot of tough, mind-boggling “why” questions answered and several enlightening self-realizations during those moments. I even berate myself at times because more often than not, the answers I seek are just right in front of me. All I needed was just to get a breath of fresh air.
Sometimes it’s important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it’s essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow. ~Douglas Pagels, These Are the Gifts I’d Like to Give to You
I definitely choose Violet. ^_^ What about you?
