To function well in today’s world, you need a certain amount of bravery and courageousness. Do you consider yourself brave and courageous? There is a good chance you have more of each than you realize. Read on to learn more about the importance of these two words to everyday living and how to increase them.
Last week, I witnessed something that reaffirmed a quiet truth I’ve often overlooked—things happen when they’re meant to.
I was on a mission to find a machine part, checking every possible store, pushing myself to leave no stone unturned. But every place either didn’t have it or quoted a ridiculously high price. It was frustrating. I questioned my efforts and timing.
Then, just a couple of days later, I happened to visit a completely different market. To my surprise, the very first shop had exactly what I needed—at a 40% discount from what I was quoted earlier. I didn’t have to try hard; it just fell into place.
That moment taught me something deeply calming: no matter how much I strive, some things unfold only when the timing is right. It’s not about giving up—it’s about trusting the flow while continuing to move forward with faith.
Would you take advice from the longest-serving president of Harvard? He gave excellent guidance for our country’s youth and the rest of us, regardless of age.
Amazing article. It reminds me of a quote I read today:
“I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of the earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.”— Pearl S. Buck
Today’s morning walk turned into an unexpected little adventure. After a couple of years, I decided to take a longer route and explore the neighbourhood—and wow, I was honestly shocked! So many new buildings have popped up, and it’s no longer that quiet lane I remembered. Families have moved in, kids playing around, aunties chatting, and even new shops and small markets have come up.
It felt like stepping into a completely new area, even though it’s the same place I’ve lived for years. What surprised me most was how much life has filled in over time—I guess I was too caught up in routine to notice.
The cool breeze and perfect sunlight made the whole experience even better. It turned into a “me time” kind of morning that felt refreshing in every sense. No noise, no hurry—just walking and soaking in the changes around me.
Sometimes, we don’t need…
Exploring during morning walks brings quiet surprises—a new flower, a kind smile, fresh thoughts. These little moments uplift the soul. Your post is a testament to it.
