the other side of the sunset

Bula
So you may be wondering what is going on in Fiji again but alas that is not what this post is about. This post is about looking at life from a different perspective and how it can be just as beautiful as the first perspective. This I have deduced from watching the other side of a sunset. Try it sometime. It is just as beautiful as looking into the sun but no one appreciates it. There are still beautiful colors it just looks different. It is soothing in a way. I think that this can be applied to the rest of life. Some days we take advantage of the beautiful things in life. Maybe we need to turn around and see something different but equally as beautiful. Maybe we just need to turn around and see something different. It doesnt have to be beautiful but it needs to be different. We as people get stuck into a routine and forget to enjoy the little things in life like a sunset or flowers or a childs laugh. We especially as westerners tend to get caught up in daily life and not remember what it is to truly live life. To pay attention to friends and family, to smell the flowers, to cook something great, to just live. Maybe this is the most important thing I have learned in Fiji so far. To just live, to remember that theres more to life than just work and meeting some sort of goal. It is truly the journey that is important. Well this is my wisdom for today moce for now!

  1. I love this so much! It is truly weird how we get caught up in this weird system of society somebody created. It seems to be all about working to survive and getting caught up in pointless materialistic problems instead of focusing on the beauty and the magic. Life is so much more I totally agree. It is so important to step back, slow down, try different things, and just appreciate. Cool metaphor with the sunset. I really enjoy your blogs.
