If you’re into stories – and who isn’t – these short inspirational bits will boost your spirit and help you see the world from a different perspective. Enjoy!

01 – The Story of the Butterfly

A sad yet full of significances story. At some point we are all cocoons and we need to struggle by ourselves to live life as complete butterflies.

02 – Value

Like the crumpled $20 bill, we might also undergo and face dirty and unpleasant situations that might shake our worth. But we must never forget that no matter what, we will keep our value!

03 – The Golden Eagle

Don’t let others tell you what you’re ought to do in life. Get out of the box you’re supposed to live in, live your life as an eagle not as a chicken.

04 – This is What I Need

This Joseph Campbell quote reminds us that every kick in the ass is a step forward. And what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Sometimes wreckages might prove to be the most valuable diamonds we get in life.

05 – Tasting Life

Which one of these would you prefer: being told what the cookie in the window tastes like or go and taste it by yourself. Now the same with life: having described it by a Master or you taking every bite of it. It’s your choice!
