I thoroughly enjoy tea, and good quotes/inspirations. So, I've started photographing the Yogi tea tags that inspire and resonate with me most. More to come!
"Feel good, be good and do good."
The Earth needs people who feel good and do good. Our time is short here, it is important to do these things and exactly in that order. One must feel good in order to be good and to do good.
Wow. Rhiannon and I love tea, too. Plenty of Yogi in our tea drawer! (Egyptian Licorice and Bedtime is most consumed) Your words really resonate with where I am trying to be right now. It is often hard for me to feel good, but my goal is to feel balanced no matter what is going on around me. I choose to not be in denial of the shitty things in the world around me, but in order for me to do the most good I have to swallow it like a monk. That way I can educate without insulting or bumming people out. I've learned the hard way that the same message can be interpreted in extremely different ways -depending on the delivery- with the results being just as scattered.
ReplyDeleteNot true. The order doesn't matter. One can feel bad and still be/do good.
ReplyDeleteTrue. In fact, when one feels bad, doing good can often help one feel better. But in general, at least for me, if I'm not doing and feeling well, it is a lot more difficult to do good for others. It's kind of like the way they tell you to put the oxygen mask on yourself in an airplane before putting it on a child. If you are at your best, you can do the best for others. :)
