The wind in this way feels less forceful. You adopt your surroundings. I can't do laundry when the sun is in shining because there's insufficient electricity. This means I also don't have to feel guilty about not doing it. There's a natural flow to living life this way. When I started this series, I thought about the aspect of my lifestyle and which lesson is hiding here that I could share with others. I believe that lesson is gratitude. What stands out is that living in alignment with natural elements cultivates a deep sense of gratitude and awe for the world around us. Each sunrise and sunset, each gust of wind or patter of rain, serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of everything. It brings me back to the absolute core of being and it reduces the noise around me. We are paying so much attention to things that don't really matter and often fail to pay attention to the things that matter to most. We spend hours scrolling other people's travel pictures on social media but don't see the beauty of the things that are right around us. This life is too short to be worrying about little things. Here's the lesson I have learned from being ridiculously dependent on nature. Stop worrying about the things you can't control, look around you, appreciate life for what it is, and appreciate the beauty that is all around you. Stop forcing things to happen and get in line with the natural flow of things. You might think you have nothing to be grateful for. Life might be pretty tough for you right now. I've been there. Some days there has been much to be thankful for. Some days my proudest moment was getting on a bed or the fact that I actually made it to work. Some days it takes until midday to hop into the shower. Those days are okay, they're part of this life. I started this article with a quote from Maya Angelou. So that quote was, this is a wonderful day. I've never seen this one before. That's an interesting quote. This is a wonderful day. I've never seen this one before. I wish we all had that kind of attitude. It's just one of those things that if you can get into that zone, her life is remarkable.
