The Power in Simplicity.

http://media-cache-ec2.pinimg.com/736x/d2/7c/98/d27c981484ec3ebb0bb3d4e1786e96a7.jpg Sometimes the most powerful and life-changing moments in our lives are the simple ones. They touch our hearts and we realize that we don't always need big and fancy things to live a rich and meaningful life.

We don't always need to achieve big things or have big plans to have a sense of fulfillment, aliveness and happiness with our lives.

Of course balance is the key. It is important to dream big and to create goals for ourselves so that we can realize our potential. But I have also found incredible value in living in the moment, and in savoring the simplicity it has to offer.

A warm hug,
A heartfelt conversation,
A genuine smile,
A good meal,
A beautiful day.

What are the simple moments that have impacted your life and touched your heart these days?

Too often we forget to see the beauty of what is right before us. Because we have grown accustomed to our surroundings. They become ordinary.

But really, it is in the seemingly ordinary moments that we can find extraordinary happiness. 

For the sake of this article, I will keep it short and sweet.

Here is a quote I love by Laura Ingalls Wilder (Famous children's author)

"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things in life which are the real ones after all."

Blessings,

Julie
