And you know, life is wonderful and amazing, but only on one condition ... if you notice and be surprised!

The most important thing is the will to live. rejoice sunbeam, wild flower, a sparrow chirping on a branch ... Almost everyone has the gift of being happy in childhood, but only a few can keep it for life ...

- What will you do tomorrow?
- I will live!

Don't wait for the time the crisis will pass. Right now, smile, hug the one who is nearby, and mentally - those who are at a distance, knead the dough for the pie, throw a warm letter in the mailbox, forgive the one who is offended, close your eyes for a minute and, opening them, start life again. Do not take it too seriously, do not look for meaning, benefits, revenge. Just live, smile and love. That's not difficult.

To live means to share your soul.

… Every day brings us a chance. Chance to live. A chance to love and believe. A chance to understand and accept. Smile when there is no reason for it, call a long-forgotten friend, go to mom for the weekend, adopt a puppy, wear a very beautiful and bold dress, buy expensive perfume that you have dreamed about for so long, go to another city, buy yourself flowers, admire your reflected in random shop windows, get high-heeled shoes from a drawer, buy a box of your favorite sweets and eat on the way ...

Fall in love! You can not turn on the TV, do not read newspapers, do not make excuses and do not say "never". Leave the city and walk barefoot on the grass. Wander under the warm rain and look at the evening city, sitting on the roof of the house. Book a hotel room and order pineapple champagne. Go overnight in the forest. Walk around the city, get tired, sit on a bench and eat ice cream. Call the person with whom you connect so much pleasant moments, and whose number has long remained in phone book and say: I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. Do not wait for an eternal tomorrow and do not say an unrealizable “maybe”. Don't dream about what others make a reality. Live, and do not prepare for this all your life ... and do not look for reasons to be happy when a new day comes ... We do not start a new life in the morning, from Monday and from the New Year. New life is a life in which we are not afraid of our desires and do not forget about dreams, hiding them far, far away. And there is no need to wait for a non-existent "one day" ...

The rest is just to live. Pamper yourself with delicious food, build a family or not, make a career or not, go to other countries, read beautiful books, walking barefoot on the spring grass, picking wildflowers, gurgling lemonade through a straw, and at times turning your back on the stereotypes of society.

Elchin Safarli

But until youth has passed, it must be turned into joy. One hundred percent. To complete satisfaction, you know? Only with these memories will it be possible to warm oneself in old age.

Haruki Murakami "1Q84"

It is important not to miss your own life. Not to spend our days in a stupor, dutifully swallowing any dubious ideas that modern society feeds us through the media, and being in a state of dormancy. The most amazing gift that is given to us in life is the opportunity to be people, because only people are endowed with consciousness. So be grateful for that.

Treat your feelings with respect, don't dull them by being in a state of drug intoxication, depression or voluntary stupor. Try to notice something new every day. Pay attention to even the smallest details. Even if you don't live in the forest, always be on your guard. Feel the taste of food, the smell of the household chemicals department in the supermarket, notice how sharp these chemical odors affect the sense organs. Walk barefoot and note how you feel; do it every day important discoveries that gives you awareness. And take care of all living things - your body, intellect, those who live nearby and the entire planet. Do not pollute your soul with apathy, and your body with unhealthy food, just as you would not deliberately pour industrial waste into a clean river. Treating the world around you with carelessness and neglect, you will never become a real person.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Life is great and every moment it comes with a thousand and one gifts for you.

How valuable sometimes is what we habitually consider trifles ...

The best way to thank for an amazing moment is to just enjoy it)

When you see that everything is blooming around, inhale and hold your breath for five seconds, and keep the state of joy that will flow into you throughout your life ...

The most important thing is the will to live. Rejoice in a sunbeam, a wild flower, a sparrow chirping on a branch ...

LIVE!
Nowadays, people have lost interest in life: they don’t get bored, they don’t cry, they just wait when time will pass. They have given up the struggle, and life has given up on them. This threatens you too: act, boldly go forward, but do not give up on life. LIVE.

Never stop there. Don't just exist... live. Don't just feel... feel. Don't just watch... study. Don't just read... absorb. Don't just listen... hear. Don't just hear... understand.

John G. Rhodes

Walking on water is not a miracle.
The miracle is to walk the Earth and feel really alive right now.
And smile!

Please enjoy life! Take it with both hands, squeeze it, shake it and appreciate every second. Love your children. You literally have no idea what happiness it is to urge them on in the morning so that they brush their teeth as soon as possible. Hug your loved ones and if they can't hug you back, find someone who can. Everyone deserves love and reciprocal feelings. Don't settle for less. Find a job that will bring joy, do not become its slaves. "I would like to work harder" is not something that will be written on your grave. Dance, laugh and eat with your friends. True, honest and strong friendship is absolute Happiness and something that we can choose for ourselves. Choose your friends carefully and carefully, just like looking for a treasure. Surround yourself beautiful things. Life is full of sadness and pain - but find your rainbow and don't let it go. Beauty is in everything, sometimes you just need to look a little more carefully to notice it.

Charlotte Keatley "Letter to the Remaining"

And you need to live with taste ... as long as there is an appetite ..!!)))

Life must be lived now; it cannot be put off indefinitely. Irvin Yalom

Bloom like flowers. Life is unique. Do not hesitate to turn it into bright and large inflorescences. Let beautiful flowers bloom in your Heart and in your home. Let the flowering of the Heart become a torch brightly illuminating your Path in this world.

Treat the new day like a miracle!

Children wake up in the morning and perceive the new day as a miracle, like the first day of their life. Most adults don't know how to do this. We can't stop thinking about tomorrow can't leave the past behind. We constantly sigh, regretting something... It's time to relearn!

Do you think that this is just another day of your Life?

This is not just another day: this is the very Only Day that is given to you Today.

He is given to you.

This is a gift.

The only Gift you have right now.

And the only correct response is to feel Gratitude.

Every day is wonderful!

How can you say that life is not beautiful? Every day is beautiful in itself, there is no such day in life in which there is no happiness, real happiness. From the very morning, when the sun rises, life is already beautiful. After all, on this day you could no longer be. But you live and you can enjoy the sun that shines, the wind that blows and all living things around you...

When you contemplate mountain forests and streams running over stones, the heart clouded with worldly dirt is gradually cleared. When you read the ancient canons and look at the paintings of ancient masters, the spirit of worldly vulgarity dissipates little by little. Therefore, a noble man, although he does not indulge in frivolous admiration of things, looks at the world as in a mirror, and thus corrects his heart.

Hong Zicheng ---

There is nothing complicated in life. We are complex. Life is a simple thing, and the simpler it is, the more correct it is.

Discover the 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD:

see,
hear,
feel,
speak,
think,
rejoice
be in love!

Time is one of those things we have no control over. The only thing we can do is fill our days, make them longer, wider. And there is only one remedy - love and attention to others. Like a child. His day is very long: he will find a leaf, examine it for half an hour, and the whole world unfolds before his eyes. And you can not consider a leaf, but people. Do as much as possible, write, shoot. Fill life.

Write the world. Not for me, not for anyone else, just like that, not knowing how to do otherwise. Keep it warm on the exhale of the day. Tell the sky, fabulously starry or piercingly blue. Color it with multi-colored flashes of birds. Weave from words the twilight and awe of the ancient forests, expose the hot breath of the steppes. Draw rain and draw a rainbow with a stroke of eyelashes. Let into him the predatory movement of the night, listening to the incoherent whisper of love. Sound the laughter of children ringing at dawn. Breathe the sea into it, alive, huge, incredible. Decorate the edges with a carved pattern of frost playing with the sun. Dance in it like falling leaves, embrace it with mists. Write a world, not for me, just like that... and I will forever live in it.

DO NOT SAVE, FILL LIFE WITH EVENTS

Research shows that wealth(various purchases) make us happy only for a little while.

Life experience and experiences bring in general more joy. Therefore, enjoy your holiday by going on a safari, explore new language, join the dance club - and you will be happy.

Bliss is the only criterion for life. If you do not feel that life is bliss, then know that you are going in the wrong direction.

OSHO

People have completely forgotten that one has to live. Who has time for this? Everyone teaches someone else how to be, and no one ever seems satisfied. If a person wants to live, then he must learn one thing: to accept things as they are, and to accept yourself as you are. Start living. Don't start preparing for the life that will be in the future. All the suffering in the world comes from the fact that you have completely forgotten that you need to live, you have become engaged in activities that have nothing to do with life.

Osho

Devote a day today to gaining energy and resources, life force. Today you should eat well and tasty, enjoy eating and drinking. Try to feel the fullness of life in everything you do.

Food eaten with pleasure is very different from food eaten to satisfy hunger. She will bring more benefit, because along with it, you also take emotions into yourself. Any emotions are a resource, a reserve that you can always use for your own benefit.

At times, you have to allow yourself to get carried away by doing nothing. Without haste, walk with a soft step to a waltz of snowflakes, and not run headlong; just sit on a chair and look out the window as the house opposite is being built; just don't talk, close your eyes and hug. Elchin Safarli - I was promised you

Life begins now - right now - not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Every minute of every hour of every day life begins anew.

Why put off making a decision until later...doesn't this just put your life on pause?

It is not necessary to think even for a second to understand why exactly you received this message today.

Neil Donald Walsh

We must surround ourselves with people who bring us joy, and go where our hearts lead us.

Sara Gio - Moonlight Trail

Feel the thrill of life inside your body. This is your anchor in the Now. Eckhart Tolle

When you ascend to heights, your heart becomes light.
When you stand over the river, thoughts are carried far away.
When you read a book on a snowy night, the soul is cleansed.
When you hum a melody on top of a hill, you feel a surge of strength.

Hong Zicheng

We live in this world only when we love it.

I want to collapse into the unrumpled grass,

stare envious eyes into the sky

and plunge into the floral scents,

and endlessly adore everything that lives.

Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.

The aroma of fresh pear, the beauty of sunrise and sunset, the feeling of a breath of wind, the waves of the sea, touches... Moments for which we live!

Don't focus on what's under your feet.

Raise your eyes...

There is also something to see.

Our life is just a collection of many small lives, each one day long. And every day you need to live in love and beauty, admiring the flowers and birds, enjoying the moment. Nicholas Sparks

Man is born for great Joy, for unceasing creativity, for wide, free, unfettered Love for everything; to a tree, to the sky, to a person, to a sweetheart, beautiful land, especially to the earth with her blissful motherhood, with her mornings and nights, with her wonderful daily miracles. A.I. Kuprin

You don't sing a song to get to the last note. Singing brings joy. The same goes for life. Joy is in living. (Chuck Hillig)

What do you need to enjoy life?
- Look around you.

Matsumoto Jun

Dedicate your life to beauty. Don't dedicate it to the disgusting. You don't have much time, not much energy to waste. Such a small life, such a small source of energy, is just stupid to waste on anger, sadness, hatred, jealousy.

Look at the stars and appreciate the fact that you live.

Bernard Werber

ENJOY EVERY STEP

Remind yourself more often that the purpose of life is not at all to fulfill everything planned, but to enjoy every step taken on the path of life, to fill life with love.

Life is measured not by the number of days, hours and minutes, but by what you managed to do during the time allotted to you on earth.

Alice Peterson - Just be with me!

The smell of fresh bread, fried seeds, raw corn that was not plucked, the smile of a passerby, sunrise and sunset, warm rain, fluffy snowflakes, birds singing in the morning, rain on the roof, a bug running across the road ... A huge building consists of small bricks, but people they are not seen, they are not noticed ... So life consists of such trifles that make up the picture of the world ... complete ... You just need to look at it all from the other side ...

All I need I have: air to breathe and a folder with sheets of paper. I love waking up in the morning not knowing what awaits me, who I will meet and where I will end up next. Until recently, I spent the night under the bridge, and today I am here, sailing on a magnificent ship, drinking champagne in an elegant society ... Life is a gift and it must be appreciated, it is impossible to guess what will happen to you tomorrow. Life must be accepted as it is. Every day counts...

Titanic ---

We ourselves invent problems, barriers, complexes and frameworks for ourselves. Free yourself - breathe life and understand that you can do anything!

The world will present itself to you exactly as you imagine it to yourself.

You constantly adjust your life to your own ideas about it.

What you believe strongly enough is what you will see in your life. And by no means the other way around. In fact, the everyday hell you live in is nothing but the result of your stubborn belief that the here and now is not heaven at all.

Chuck Hillig

sincerely enjoy simple things- priceless!

If a person likes life, if he is able to enjoy every minute spent on this earth, if he knows how to find joy for himself even in small things, then he is young, no matter what numbers are written in his passport.

No matter how bad you feel.
No matter how unbearable the current moment may seem to you.
No matter how impossible the future may seem to you.
Do not rush.
You have no other time in your Life.
And this nightmare is also part of the time allotted to you.
AND your mood- part of you, living now.
Think about yourself.
About what you are.
That you are still here.
About the fact that you still have a lot of things from which it can be good.
You don't have to pretend, you already are.
And it doesn't matter what will happen in this vague future.
It is you - and there has never been another like it and never will be again.
Postponing Life just because you feel bad is not a good idea.

We lack only the necessary: ​​a large piece of the sky. Try to always keep a piece of the sky above your life.

Marcel Proust

If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it's deadly. Paulo Coelho.

Stop looking, just open your eyes and see. Life is around you.

When for the first time something happens to you that is beyond words, it means that Life has knocked at your door.

You have to love life more than your own career, and love yourself more than your own success.Irina Khakamada

Life itself does not mean anything until a person appears who tries to interpret its phenomena. Carl Gustav Jung.

Life is somewhat like a painting.
There are many wonderful things that can be seen if you look closely. Life is somewhat like a painting. On a very strange abstract painting. You can look at it and think that it's just a blurry spot. You can live like this all your life, thinking that this is just a blurry spot. But if you look closely, you can still see what is depicted there. If you concentrate and use your imagination, life can become something much more for you. In this picture, for example, there may be a sea, sky, people, buildings, butterflies sitting on flowers - anything, and not at all a blurry spot, as you once imagined.

It doesn't matter how many days are in your life. It matters how much life is in your days!

In general, life is full of extremely dangerous things.
The most dangerous are the ones we don't understand. And the ones that don't even exist...

We come into the world with a specific mission. Someone discovers, develops it in himself, and someone lives in the unknown. Learn to share your skill. One writes inspiring lyrics, the other cooks Tasty food, the third heals the sick, the fourth perfectly repairs shoes. If right now you have nothing to say to the world, sing. Anything. To yourself or aloud. As a child, I did not remember the words of my favorite songs well - I had to invent them. And it was wonderful - he sang about what he wanted. Write texts, compose melodies, color memories.

If you do not hear answers to questions, go on the road. Do not be lazy, do not think that everything will be as usual, destroy the ridiculous boundaries in your head. The road does not always require money, visas, tickets. The path inward, which is far more important than the outer one, craves only desire. Those who are not afraid to turn inward will find their way outside.

Elchin Safarli - Tell me about the sea

Life is Beautiful.
Don't believe the rumours.
Life is Beautiful.
Life is a tested product, used by 70 billion people for three million years. This proves its perfect quality.

Bernard Werber

Life is what people strive to preserve most of all and cherish least of all.

Jean de La Bruyère

Don't be afraid that your life must end, be afraid that it will never begin. John Newman

Life is not a chain of events that take place around you in time and space ... Life is a chain of your inner states that you create for yourself by rating these or those events in which you find yourself. Everyone is able to wake up at any moment, realizing these two processes ... One - external event, another internal state, and the point of their connection is your mind.

-- Papaji ---

Richard Gere about life.

“My friend’s mom kept her whole life healthy eating. Never drank alcohol or any "bad" food, exercised every day, was always mobile and active, took all the supplements that her doctor prescribed, never went out in the sun without sunscreen, and when she went out, it was so for a short time , as soon as possible, in general, she guarded her health by doing everything that was possible. She is now 76 years old and has skin cancer, bone marrow cancer and severe osteoporosis.

My friend's father eats bacon on top of bacon, butter on top of butter, fat on top of fat, never, literally never exercised, burned to a crisp every summer in the sun, in fact he lived to the fullest and not as advised by others. He is 81 and the doctors say he has the health of a young man.

People, you can't hide from your poison. He is, and he will find you, so, as my friend's mother said: "If I knew that my life would end like this, I would have lived it to the fullest, enjoying everything that I was told not to do!". None of us will make it out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like a minor. Eat delicious food. Walk in the sun. Jump into the ocean. Share the precious truth that is in your heart. Be stupid. Be kind. Be weird. There is simply no time for anything else."

We all ask questions. It took me a long time to figure out which questions are really important. It turned out that those who tormented me "how?" (How to make more money? How to get a promotion?) don't matter at all. No, you need to think about something else. For example, what do flowers think about under the snow? Or when birds book tickets to fly south? Donna Vanlier - Christmas Shoes

Life passes very quickly. If we are not ready, if we do not know how to forgive, love, or listen, then we are past.

Peter Mamonov

We cannot change the length of our life, but we can do something about its breadth and depth.

Life is so good that it does not always meet expectations!
Max Frei "The Outsider. Echo Labyrinths -1"

To live means to communicate with the world, to address it, to act in it, to think about it. Living is something no one can do for me. Life is what we are, what we do. Life is what we do and what happens to us. Nothing we do is our life if we are not aware of it. To live is to feel life, to be aware of one's existence, where "to be aware" does not mean intellectual knowledge, not any special knowledge, but the amazing presence of life for everyone. Life is discovery, understanding or seeing, being aware of what it is. Continuous discovery - which we make about ourselves and the world around us. To find an image in which the memory of this idea is fixed, let us turn to Egyptian mythology, where Osiris dies, and Isis, his beloved, wants to resurrect him and allows him to swallow the eye of the falcon-Horus. Since then, the eye appears in all sacred paintings. Egyptian civilization, symbolizing the first property of life: look at yourself. Seeing yourself is the main and initial attribute of life itself. To live means to be aware of yourself. Life in its very origins and depths consists of knowing and understanding oneself, in seeing what surrounds us, in being clear to oneself. Life is what we do. To live is to realize that we live here, now, that is, we are in some place in the world. If you came here, then you decided to live this segment of your life in this way. To live is to sustain oneself, endure oneself, and direct oneself. Life is a necessity to decide what we will become. To live is to be in the world. To live is to constantly decide what we will be. Our life is first of all a collision with the future. You decide to be either attentive or distracted, to think about this or that, and this thinking about life or about something else is your life right now. To live means to be busy with this or that, to do. But this doing means doing something for something. The occupation we are now engrossed in is rooted in this "for" which usually names the goal. To this “for”, considering which I now act and in atom action I live and exist, I have dedicated myself, because among the possibilities that opened before me, I considered it the best occupation of my life. My life is a decision to act. To live is not to be in an impenetrable, opportunity-rich world. The world of life for me consists every moment of the opportunity to do this or that, and not of the necessity against the desire to do one thing and that one thing. To live means to live here, now - here and now are adamant, unchangeable, but wide. Every life decides by choosing itself among many possible ones. To live means continuously, initially to prefer something and neglect something. Life is about deciding what we will be.

Quotes and Aphorisms 21.06.2017

As the poet absolutely correctly put it, "we did not teach dialectics according to Hegel." So school years the Soviet generation remembered the lines of another mentor, Nikolai Ostrovsky, who insisted: life must be lived in such a way "so that it would not be excruciatingly painful ..." The textbook phrase ended with a call to devote all one's strength to the "struggle for the liberation of mankind."

Decades have passed, and many of us remained grateful to Nikolai Ostrovsky for his personal example of perseverance and for his peculiar aphorisms and quotes about life with meaning. It's not even that they corresponded to that heroic era. No, similar thoughts sounded in the statements of philosophers, historical figures ancient world, and at other times. He just set the highest bar, which is far from achievable for everyone.

However, another thinker at about the same period advised: "Take it higher, the current will carry you anyway." So figuratively Nicholas Roerich explained that lofty goals must be, and then life, Environment will definitely make adjustments. Aphorisms about the life of this great scientist and cultural figure should be studied separately and in detail.
