Be Yourself, Be Useful

One could be ‘successful’ yet not ‘fulfilled” but when you seek fulfillment in what you do you become successful. – think about this! I like the way Paulo Coelho, an international best-selling author put it in his latest book “Manuscripts found in Accra” he said “Ask a flower in the field: “Do you feel useful? After all you do nothing but produce the same flowers over and over.” And the flower will answer: “I am beautiful, and beauty is my reason for living.” Ask the river: “Do you feel useful, given that all you do is keep flowing in the same direction?” And the river will answer: “I’m not trying to be useful; I’m trying to be a river.” Nothing in this world is useless in the eyes of God… Don’t try to be useful. Try to be yourself; that is enough, and that makes all the difference.”

 

So, be yourself, impact souls, live your dreams and EnjoyLife!
