Stop dreaming, start living...

Sometimes, when you stop dreaming about your fairytales, and thinking about what could be...

And take the time to look at the world around you...

You realise...
that paradise is in your backyard...
That the most heartfelt expression of love is the graffiti scrawled on the wall...

That determination can be seen in the most unlikely of circumstances...


And that happiness is not found at a tropical island resort, but in the spring sunshine and the rosy-cheeked feeling of the first sunburn of the season.



So
Dream, yes.
Hope, yes.
Let your imagination run wild.

But, 
Get up early to watch the sunrise.

Listen to the birds chirp.

Put a flower in your hair.


Notice the little things.
Dance. Don't worry about what people think. Just dance.

Roll down a hill.

Spend long summer evenings with your friends.

Let the wind blow through your hair.


And next time you're feeling down...
Look,
Listen,
Love,
Smell the roses...
And realise,
your life, your very own life,
is BEAUTIFUL.
