'Thoughts and a Stream'
One must admit that cruising through seemingly empty villages on a sadly dark day doesn't define the core of pleasure. When that happens, I turn to what I feel inside and revive the adventurous spirit which then makes me move forward with a smile. What else is there, anyway? :)
Nature is in its winter sleep and its boons are second to none. But then again, the beauty can always be found if a person looks deeper into things. Dead grass and naked trees can be turned into material from which the good thoughts are made of. The ones you want to be carrying within.
To look beyond what one can see is a very admirable task. We should all train imagination and enjoy awesome feelings that come from indulging in it. It opens up the mind and takes the life to another dimension. Perfect curves right ahead.
In the end, let me say that where thoughts lead a person is an exact place where the person will be. Remember reading about successful people who let the ugly thoughts rule over them? Or even superrich people surrounded by wealth but sadder than the sadness itself? What happened to them? Thoughts are the key, not surroundings. They are the ones defining the world for us.
Does this stream care what the surroundings are? Or it just flows and flows because it is its life, its mission if you want?
There is much more in life than what we can see, anyway...
Enjoy your day! :-)

Dear @velimir! :)
What an amazing post! The photos show a very nice and mystic atmosphere and your words and message are so important and exactly what I think about a lot. I am a daydreamer and I try to discover the magic in everything around me, no matter if people would descibe it as nice or ugly, good or bad weather etc. Our surroundings won't change, but if we change our mindset, everything will change for US :)
Just as Buddha said: "All that we are is a result of our thoughts!"
I really love your way of thinking, staying positive, making something wonderful and fulfilling out of a Situation others would get a bad mood.
If more people would think that way, they would be so much more happy and positive :)
Beauty is always around us, we only need to learn to see it again :)
Thank you for this great reminder and message! And of course the beautiful photos with the mystic atmosphere :)
I love your example with the river that simply flows. We are meant to flow in the stream of live, too. :)
God bless you!
Have a wonderful day :)
Best wishes :)

What great thoughts for a grey, sunless day. How I think defines who I am. It's my choice.
And that stream? Doesn't give two shits what you or I think about it. Just goes on about it's business with barely a murmur.
Life is good my friend. Thanks for making it better every day.
Have you read the book “where you go there you are” by Jon Kabat-Zinn?
It reminds me a lot of what you said at the end of your post. “Where thoughts lead a person is the exact place a person will be”
That is strait out of that book—
Not literally but the metaphor is clearly the same. The books is about mindfulness and meditation. I highly recommend it. The sentiment is strong and so true. Wherever you plant your mind- that’s where you are bound to be. You create your own destiny through the manifestation of your own thoughts.
Great post @velimir and very philosophical. Your obviously a smart, well rounded guy. It’s no wonder, so many people enjoy reading your posts every day.
Thanks!
Hi
you have an amazing ability to find positive thoughts and moments in any place and under any circumstances. I aspire to this :)
Our lives and thoughts are like the current river. This is an interesting comparison.
Our thoughts are material, and one must learn to focus them on certain goals.
For example, the water philosophy of Bruce Lee. He said:
This suggests that we must be able to adapt to any situation in life. Try to calm down or look for a positive thing for everyone.
Good day
Very beautiful. I've actually had friends that biked across South America through very dangerous conditions.
I love traveling.......
Wow! I can't imagine how you get your ideas on these images of yours. Very appreciative. I love this post. You are a master of nature's philosophy.
Neither can I when I read it :D
But again, beauty can always be found if someone looks deeper. Because the outside can always cheat the eyes and feelings, then make us mistaken for a certain condition. Go directly and see we'll know what's really going on.
well awesome content . i agree nature has a big part in our lives it is always the source of love and maybe the only thing in this world that can remind people of its human part
Hi, @velimir

please like my post ... nithinnaik
the pictures are old and interesting
Great ! The scenery here is amazing
Pushing one self up & try to regenarate the deep core feeling from inside is a quite remarkable spirit one can ever have in this situation having a dull ecosystem out there and in my opinion the super rich people are saddest in nature cause they run hard behind money all the life makes a person egoistic & friends gets departed from the exciting life one by one eventually,& one day left with no friends.thats horrible indeed.
The most Motorcycle Travel Series see nice
wooow !! verry beautiful .I love traveling.......
