So True

We might not have a manual, or an instruction booklet to teach us how to live our lives, but Life happening, unfolding around us is itself a ‘Manuel on Life’ for us. If we pay more attention to what is going on in life, and learn the lessons, we will be doing all right.

And the wonderful thing is, all these life instructions were being recorded. They are called Aphorisms. Aphorisms motivate and inspire because they teach a philosophical or moral truth which is relevant to our experiences in life. The relevance is what makes them fascinating and interesting.

Have a look at today’s selection of truisms. Keep a record of the ones that inspire you so that you can refer to them in your time of need.
