Lessons from Elmo
For a better version of you
The forever enthusiastic childhood favorite of ours has indeed put into words some greater truths for a fulfilling and a happy life.
According to Elmo life is short movie where you are responsible of writing your own ending. In life, we have the power to choose which path we would like pursue. The new skills have to be learnt accordingly. Constant Updating has to done by educating on the new ticks of your trade. Go on an exciting yet a calm journey enjoying your pace and of course in your path of choice. You would be in peace and happy about your life choices if you listen to your mind, heart and soul.
Elmo says, ‘If you keep practicing you can do anything’. Bruce Lee has said that he does not fear a man who has practiced ten thousand kicks but the man who has practiced one kick thousand times. Through practice one is able to figure out the mistakes and efficient ways to perform. That would make him/her better qualified than others who has just touched the surface level and has not bothered to dig deep and explore about the subject matter.
Elmo loves to learn about the things that are big and that are small. Read books and even the insightful pieces on medium to deepen your understanding on the subjects. Watch video content on Youtube and the educational platforms such as reputed university web content, TED, Discovery and channels which are of your field of study when possible. Search about the topics that awaken your curiosity and which you find interesting. Visit planetariums, museums, art galleries and indulge yourself in novel experiences.
Elmo says it is incredible where one can go with the imagination. Take your time to ponder about everything. Try to come up with new concepts, write stories, pen down poetry and create art. If you want inspiration take a walk outside. Observe the mysterious beauties of nature closely; delicate patterns on leaves, the colors of the flower, rhythm the flowing water and even the stars at night. Always be curious and never lose your sense of wonder.
Elmo knows how to laugh no what circumstances are. In a world full of dark thoughts and inhumane actions look for the things that delight you and make you smile with all your heart. It is always important to cultivate a positive attitude towards life. Be a beacon of positive energy. Figuring out how to laugh can change the course of an entire day to a delightfully productive one.
Grownups say ‘An Apple a day keeps the doctor away’, but Elmo suggests that they have oranges as well. Make your daily diets diverse. Always try to include all the fruits and vegetables which belong to many types of nutrients. Choosing foods and vegetables of the colors of rainbow would do the trick. Let food be your medicine so that later you do not have to rely on medicine for your better health.
Elmo encourages everyone to be positive and happy. So Live, laugh and love just like Elmo and live mindfully, peacefully and happily.
