"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has the power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive."

It started raining, after which a rainbow appeared in the sky. Are you watching rainbows in the sky after a rain? If you are lucky you can get a glimpse of a double rainbow in the sky.

Have you watched the grasshoppers and butterflies flying in the garden? We human beings are moving fast without realizing the simple things of life.

I got up from bed at 5.30 am, made a cup of coffee and started to read the Holy Bible. At 6 am, the newspaper boy delivered newspapers to my doorstep.

Our dog Dicky came running towards me when freed from it's cage. Dicky sat near my leg and started to show its love and affection towards me by making beautiful sounds of groaning.

Why don't you take a walk in the nearby public garden every day, watching closely the trees and shrubs growing in the garden?

I want you to move around with mindfulness and enjoy the present moment. Experts say that your body has been synchronised in tune with nature.

Once you make the right connection with nature, your productivity level will increase doublefold over some time.

But we are busy chasing after colourful butterflies, flying away from the garden than trying to concentrate on the little things of life.

The colourful butterflies are the big wins like a promotion in a job, buying a new car, building a house, getting the best partner in marriage, setting up a new business etc. All the above big wins are essential in life.

But I recommend you to concentrate on small simple things initially, like following a routine every day, forgiving others, helping your spouse in the kitchen, helping your children in their studies, spending quality time with your friends etc.

The past is gone, the present is fleeting and the future is vague. Always try to live in the present moment.

We don't have to follow success but rather lead a good life when God will give you everything you need at the right time. There is nothing called a perfect life in this world.
