Live Like a Hummingbird

While going through my “inspiration files” recently, I came across a little white card from Papyrus. It is a beautiful reminder to live life in the moment and to savor the simple joys. On the little card, I wrote a note to myself: “Live Like a Hummingbird.”

Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. Hummingbirds open our eyes to the wonder of the world and inspire us to open our hearts to loved ones and friends. Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday. The hummingbird’s delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life’s sweetest creation.”

Now, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Imagine a hummingbird. Then, think about how you felt in that still moment. What can you do to live like a hummingbird? Begin by turning that knowledge into real action – take your first action step. Allow the hummingbird to serve as your personal serenity trigger.
