  • Life is Beautiful Quotes

    These are some quotes to remind us about what is always there for us.

    Living our Life has many aspects that can be regarded to be beautiful, even minor things like having time for a morning coffee or cup of tea, spending time with people who we value, and the place we live. Sometimes we forget just how good it is to be alive. So try to remember to see it in the people and environment we live in.


    You will have seen this quote playing out during your life, and not always in ways that are apparent at the time. We all reflect, at various times and ways, the actions and values of people that are part of our world. So for a better world, we need to consider this quote.


  • Help with Big Decisions

    Sometimes when needing to make big decisions in our life, it can be difficult to do. Research by reputable organisations has provided several options to help you with making that important choice or path in life.

    The old advice of sleeping overnight on it is a very good option. Research has shown that when asleep our brains have time to process all the various inputs and put them into context for you, plus it may also provide other options or ideas which you may not have thought of while awake and feeling under pressure to make that important decision.

    Taking a long walk has also been shown to be very beneficial for giving your brain time to process all the information, including your emotions, about what you are trying to decide.

    Also, just having a break from the decision making area and possibly have a refreshing drink and a snack, will once again give you time to contemplate the options for the decision to be made.

    The essence of the research indicates that you need to provide your brain with time away from other distractions, including the pressure of the situation, to let your brain time to process all the information. Remember that the bigger the decision, also the longer time frame of the result of the decision, and the less you are familiar with the subject to be decided, the more time you should give yourself time to develop the decision.

    Once the decision has been made, be happy with the decision.


  • Feel Good Summer Days

    Most people look forward to that time of year when they get time to enjoy Summer time, be it relaxing or a favourite activity. These are experiences that can provide lasting feelings and memories.

    Two quotes for contemplating.



  • Amusement on Long Drive

    It is interesting to see what some people will do to provide amusement for themselves and fellow travellers, when driving on a long road journey. Here is an example of what can be seen at an isolated but scenic roadside stopping location, in the north west of Western Australia.

    Multiple travellers have contributed a variety of items over a long period of time, set up to appear to be looking over the coastal plain which stretches away from them.

    Note the way the some figures have been placed in various reclining positions while still appearing to be taking in the view. Amongst it all are messages and “quotes” to help provide further amusement.

    It all makes a nice relief from the sometimes tedious long journey.


  • Looking for Success

    Successful people can be an excellent source of information to help others learn how to succeed.

    One quote that is usually provided is that it can all start with the right idea and the conviction to stick to that idea. It can also mean changing established thinking, something which is not always easy.

    Most importantly is to do something that you are good at, do what you like, and make sure you are surrounded by people who you like. These are obviously not always easily put together, but can be used as a goal in the process.

    Another point that may often be provided, is that there will always be the challenges of being confronted with problems, and that they should be solved immediately. History shows that problems left unresolved, can sometimes have many unforeseen consequences.

    Sometimes the journey can be a long one, and really test the resolve of those involved. So a ensure that the project is achievable, and not a pipe dream. Consulting with well informed people is always a good choice. Also ensure that those sharing the journey are with you.

    Don’t be afraid to alter the path to the ultimate goal to enable adapting to a variety of changing circumstances, which can quite often happen in our changing world.

    Also remember, failure is not such a bad thing, for at least you tried your best.

    Success can sometimes also be regarded as enjoying the journey.

    No matter what is to be regarded as success, ensure it is enjoyed, as a lack of enjoyment can lead to a lack of fulfilment which can lead to abandoning a project and is also not an indicator of success on a personal level.


  • Little lifts in life

    Maybe you have a pet or farm type animal, know of someone’s pet or maybe some local wildlife that help to make your day.  It can be the little things they do that can lift your spirits or make you smile.  At times we probably don’t realise how important these things are to our happiness and enjoyment of life.  So next time some animal’s action gives your spirits a lift or makes you smile, remember to enjoy the moment.

    These are some such moments for you to also enjoy.


  • Valuable Lesson

  • Unconditional Love by Dogs

    There have been countless examples of unconditional love given by dogs to their human companions. Many recorded instances have been of dogs in all types of life styles and places in our world, including when the human has passed away and the dog continues to morn their passing in obvious ways, over a long period of time. The enjoyment of each other’s company with obvious displays of enjoyment by the dog, including for children a snuggle, can enhance the bond between people and dogs. Dogs can become part our family and as such help us, especially children, to learn about that important emotional connection we get with unconditional love, which can be seen in these photos.

    The bond may be strongest when the dog has a role to assist the person with some aspect of their life, such as a seeing eye dog. They share many physical and emotional adventures over many years, where the dog can become part of the family and as such can become inseparable from their human companion.

    This close bond can enable us to become emotionally better and more stable people, which can help equip us to better cope with the many aspects of our journey through life. This especially applies to children as they experience this unconditional love.

    Even the very young dog can display the enjoyment of the companionship of a human. Dogs willingly continue to take part in many human activities, enjoying the moment and even encouraging people to repeat or continue it. They have progressed well beyond fetching a ball and can be seen doing a wide variety of activities.

    A dog’s obvious display of joy when they see their human companion, is something that can lift your spirits and bring happiness to your day. The sight of a dog welcoming home their human companion, with tail wagging wildly, is certainly a treasured moment for both.

    Sometimes we can feel that the world could do with more of this type of unconditional love, so perhaps more people should be encouraged to experience this positive bond between a pet and their human companion.
