"TO A BUTTERFLY"


I've watched you now a full half-hour,
Self-poised upon that yellow flower;
And, little Butterfly! indeed
I know not if you sleep or feed.
How motionless! and then
What joy awaits you, when the breeze
Hath found you out among the trees,
And calls you forth again!
This plot of Orchard-ground is ours;
My trees they are, my Sister's flowers;
Here rest your wings when they are weary;
Here lodge as in a sanctuary!
Come often to us, fear no wrong;
Sit near us on the bough!
We'll talk of sunshine and of song;
And summer days, when we were young;
Sweet childish days, that were as long
As twenty days are now.

By William Wordsworth

"You get motivated by doing�things, not thinking about them"

"Next time you are upset, remember it's not so much people who make you angry, as your thoughts about them"

"Whatever thoughts are causing you pain, they are only thoughts. You can change a thought"

"Where did we get the idea that if we don't forgive people, they�suffer?"

"The only way to beat fear is to face it"

"If we are honest with ourselves, we can list almost everything that's ever happened to us - and see how we helped create it"

"The happiest people don't worry too much about whether life is fair or not. They just get on with it"

"If you want peace of mind, stop labeling everything that happens as good�or bad"

"You give your best not because you need to impress people. You give your best because that's the only way to enjoy your work"

"When life is sweet, and that little voice says: It can't last!�Tell yourself: Maybe it's about to get better!"

- From "Happiness in a Nutshell" by Andrew Matthews
