Harmony is to find gold middle in your life and to find time for all importnat things. But you should be sure about these things. You should find your priorities and organize our lime and your life to do the most important and pleasant things.
But, don't forget about harmony...
One evening a young woman went alone to walk barefoot by the ocean after the sun had set. She stopped in her path and turned so she could see the footsteps she had left in the sand. But they had already been washed away by the waves. When she turned to continue her walk, she was startled by the presence of an old woman wrapped in a blanket who out of nowhere appeared sitting by a fire, slowly paging through the leaves of a leather covered book.
She walked up to the woman and asked. "Where did you come from? I didn't see you here a moment ago. And how did you start this fire so quickly?"
Her questions went unanswered but were instead met with a reply in a serene voice, "Sit with me, child. I have something to show you."
As the young woman sat down beside the fire, the mysterious stranger handed her the book. She curiously turned the pages one by one and was amazed to discover they contained the story of her whole life from the early days of childhood to the present. She then came to the page telling of her encounter with the old woman by the fire during her walk on the beach, but upon turning to the next page, she found it empty. She frantically began to turn the rest of the pages in the book only to find that they, too, were all empty. In bewilderment, she looked to the old woman and pleaded with her to explain.
"Does this mean my life ends this night?"
"No, my child. It means tonight your life begins."
At that moment the old woman took the book into her own hands and began to tear out each of the pages with words, throwing them one by one into the fire until all that was left were blank pages.
She handed the book of empty pages to the young woman.
"You see," she said, "just as the waves washed away your footsteps in the sand, your past is forever gone, never to return. The only moment you ever truly possess is here and now. Each new moment is the beginning of the rest of your life and is to be lived to the fullest, for you will not have a chance to live that moment a second time. Most important of all, each new day brings an opportunity to love--one that may never come to you again.
"As for your future, you are free to shape it as you wish, for it has not yet been written."
Then, as mysteriously as she had appeared, the old woman stood to walk away and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Excerpt from the book, For Love or Nothing
Why is it important to be focused? What about spontaneous actions and freedom in your life? I was thinking a lot on these questions. I can say that being spontaneous doesn’t mean being oblivious. Concentration helps us to feel the taste of every moment. To understand what color every minute has. This is magical feeling – being focused and concentrated.
Why photography is an art? Because photographer is a magician that can capture beautiful moment from the rush of life. And the secret of this magic is to be focused on a moment.
I stumbled over this post few minutes ago:

It made me to stop and look around... and to see this stunning, gorgeous and so wonderful beauty of my life!!! Life is beautiful, world around us is beautiful! There is no time for beauty! It is timeless! It is eternal! Then why do we live our lives and miss the beauty? Why do we choose time for beautiful thing and time for everything else?
Enjoy your life! Perceive the beauty of every moment! It depends only on you.
Don't forget to share your love;)
Remember every moment is precious!
Only today is real! Do what you should, don't leave it for tomorrow.
I know that it is Spring today, but still I want to write about Winter. I always used to think that winter is a very boring and sad season. But today I wanna say that I love winter and I will miss it... for 9 months:) I love winter holidays, I love winter silence, I love winter snow, I love winter hot tea, I love winter crazy snowballs games, I love wearing warm winter clothes... Winter is never in rush. It is a great time to rest, to analyze, to listen to your inner voice. Thank you, Dear Winter! We had a great time this year!
Mr Magorium: 37 seconds.
Molly Mahoney: Great. Well done. Now we wait.
Mr Magorium: No. We breathe. We pulse. We regenerate. Our hearts beat. Our minds create. Our souls ingest. 37 seconds, well used, is a lifetime.
