The Happiness of Growing Lightly: A Lesson from the Weeds
.
I have to admit it; I love weeds. Without any help from human hands, they do pretty doggone well. And personally, I confess that when I watch them grow, I think they have more fun than their cultivated cousins.
They seem freer somehow, more unconstrained. And let’s face it; they’re definitely hardier.
I think when nobody’s around they laugh. I think they just plain like what they are, that they don’t take themselves too seriously.
They grow lightly, with no silly need to be something special. They just pop out their leaves and buds according to whatever pattern nature provides, schmoozing with their neighbors, making the best of whatever resources happen to be at hand.
And somehow it all turns out beautifully.

live .love ;laugh talk about a short story …lol
You know Susan, just about everyone I’m reading these days sums up their work pretty much the same way… after I’ve read all their other stuff, of course. LOL In fact, two of my favorite reads – Abraham and Dr. Robert Anthony – need only two to three words
BE HAPPY! The third word is often important to throw in because we’re so programmed for delayed gratification. What is that third word?
NOW!
So putting it all together, the entire purpose of life is to BE HAPPY NOW! And when you get that part right, the Universe will reward you by sending you MORE stuff about which to BE HAPPY NOW!
The bottom line reason why anyone does anything is so that they can BE HAPPY NOW. So just cut to the chase – actually stop chasing all the other people, places and things you think will bring you happiness – and just BE HAPPY NOW. Then all those people, places and things will start chasing YOU!
BE HAPPY NOW!
All the best from Toronto,
