Indifferent to whether your mood is grumpy or cheerful, Nature always sings her passionate song of joyful celebration.You can never stop the happy song of life, so join the celebration – sing along, dance, make love, smile your biggest smile, and cheer on the music in your life. ~ KatherineG
3 weeks ago, i chanced upon an interesting group of passionate singers on the streets of Malaysia. Five boys came together (they just came to know each other on the spot) and started singing using simple yet powerful sounds tools. They allowed dedication songs by the passing people. Some of these people like me, were attracted by this group, stopped by and sat down to enjoy the songs.
Their simple powerful sound tools:
- 2 Mentos Sweet Boxes
- 1 empty wooden box
- 2 guitars
- 1 mineral bottle (should have some sweets inside the bottle)
Look at all of the lessons about life you can learn from these young teenagers, just from their actions in this video.
1. Find your passion
These boys’ passion is Singing. For them, every day is a good day when they can indulge that passion and do what they love to do.
For me, my passion is creating positive stuffs, new ideas, etc…. I believe every day’s a good day when I CREATES POSITIVELY.
How about you? Every day’s a good day when you…what?
2. Listen to your heart
One way to find your passion, if you don’t know it already, is to listen to and trust your heart.
Singing brings good thoughts to these boys’ hearts. From the way they sings,that’s how they know they love it, and why every day is a good day when they does it.
What are you doing when you notice good thoughts in your heart? That just might be what or who you are passionate about.
3. No limits
For a passionate singer, there are no limits with a fresh piece of songs. Building happiness is a good thing.
And when we find our passion and listen to our hearts, there aren’t any limits to how much of it we can build in our own lives.
4. Indulge the moment
Live in the moment; indulge the moment; be passionate about whatever it is you’re doing.
Have a sense of love and enthusiasm for whatever it is you are engaged in.
Give it your all.
5. “Think like water”
I love this line.
Even when we’re following our passions, following our hearts, we can get too caught up in the moment. We can out-think our ability to do. Paralysis by analysis. But there are simple doorways for overcoming this. I’m just not sure I’ve ever heard it phrased more eloquently than “think like water.”
“Relax, let it flow, think like water…”. So true.
Indulge the moment, and flow with it. Let’s not get stuck in our own heads.
6. “Sing along”
Life is just better when you’re singing along. It is for me anyway.
In the car, at home around the house, while working…whatever. Singing, humming, whistling, it all just puts me in a good mood.
Do you sing along with your life?
7. Enjoy life
Of course not every time in a life is meant to be a “good time,” per se. There are times when hard work is necessary, and it may not be fun. There will be times of sadness and struggle and strife.
But can’t we still enjoy life even during these more difficult times?
If we’re finding ways to bring good thoughts to our hearts, I think we can. We can certainly strive to anyway.
Life is meant to be enjoyed. Sometimes it just takes a more conscious effort to do so than we think. But it’s always worth it.
Living Passionately,
