Keep you face towards the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you. Walt Whitman
Sunflowers symbolize faith, happiness, long life and good luck. They are cheerful flowers used to remove toxins and pollutants from nuclear disaster sites and inspire artists such as Van Gough and scientists too. They are heliotropes, plants that track the movement of the sun from east to west. A team of scientists at UCLA replicated this feature into solar arrays to maximise exposure to the sun.
The definition of inspiration is a person or thing that excites or stimulates, it can be a creative idea, divine guidance or the act of breathing air into the lungs. Often times we seek inspiration. We know what we are but not what we may be. Shakespeare So we seek, if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. Vince Lombardi. Sometimes doubts and fears arise, we feel we are not making the progress we had hoped, setbacks occur. Robert Louis Stevenson suggested that we do not judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant. For it is the wise man who plants trees knowing they will never sit in their shade. Rabinranath Tagore This week I invite you to look with new eyes to seek inspiration from nature, after all the secret of getting ahead is getting started. Mark Twain
