A fruitful life


The mango tree was full of beautiful fruit...
                                      
Lyrics from the song SUNSCREEN by Baz Luhrmann
 
...do one thing everyday that scares you

don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours

don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults

don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t

enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own

DANCE…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

"If you look to others for fulfillment,
you will never be fulfilled. 
If your happiness depends on money,
 you will never be happy with yourself. 
Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are. 
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the world belongs to you."
 
Lao Tzu
