The Power to Make Happy

“The Six Grandfathers have placed in this world many things, all of which should be happy.

The Beauty of Life
“Flower Burst” | Anthony Satori

Everything Has Beauty
“Fig Beetle” | Anthony Satori
“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

Live Lightly
“Take Flight” | Anthony Satori
The fact is, life is a great mystery. None of us knows how long we have here. We may, by some miracle, still be around a hundred years from now. Or we may be gone next week. No one knows. So I say, live lightly. Glide as smoothly as you can over the bumps and dips of this world – they really don’t matter in the big scheme of things. Embrace each day as the gift that it is. Live love, live joy, and live kindness. Live compassion, live gratitude, and live courage. Watch, listen, and learn with humility. Think, speak, and act with intention. And then, when the stars align and the wind is at your back, be ready to fly when the universe presents you with the opportunity to fly.
