Be Encouraged

A bright black and yellow bumblebee comes to mind when I hear anything like "Be Happy" or "Be Cheerful" and today, its "Be Encouraged" buzzing through my head along with many other things.

BEE...ENCOURAGED!

(1) LISTEN LITTLE BEE....hear the "Flight of the Bumblebee" written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899–1900.

(2) WORK LITTLE BEE...the buzzing and sporadic bouncing from idea to action appears to many without focus or purpose, but all those little collections of information eventually culminate into one beautiful and sweet reward.

(3) CONTINUE LITTLE BEE...worker bees, honey bees, bumblebees eat nectar and pollen, but not honey.  We eat honey.  We devour honey.  And those little bees keep working, keep trudging along and zipping from flower to flower.

LESSON:  "BE ENCOURAGED"  (1) listen to those around you.  learn from their mistakes.  enjoy their opportunities and blessings.  pay attention.  (2) work with the end in mind.  keep on task.  filter good, better, and best moments.  (3) continue to achieve your goals, your dreams.  uplift others in the process.  beautiful the world with your thoughts, words, and deeds. 

Buzz.  Buzz.  Buzz...Be Encouraged!
