During a visit to the local zoo in Johannesburg and amongst all the “main” attractions, I was blessed to come across this very attentive little fellow. This got me thinking about life in general and the individual paths we walk. It is so easy to fall into the mistake of wishing we were this or that person, especially when they appear to be so much more larger than life than we seem to be. However trying to live up to somebody else’s standards and walking in somebody else’s shoes will never bring us true happiness. Be yourself, be unique, be true to who and what you are = true joy :)(:
