I watched this bumblebee working on the thistle and became enamored with the simplicity of its life. She isn’t in a rush to complete a quota. She isn’t distracted by all the activity of the other insects. She’s just being a bee and doing what she was born to do. She seemed to take pleasure in her small uncomplicated life.
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ~Lao Tzu
I sometimes wonder if the reason why everyone is always in such a rush is that we have left our natural purposes.
Somewhere, deep down inside we all know who we were born to be. It has nothing to do with jobs, social status or the expectations of others. It’s the thing that you do that causes you to lose track of time. When you look up and you’re amazed at how much got done without effort.
When you are just being what you were truly meant to be. That’s what happiness is.
