Back to the Basics

Many times life becomes really busy and hectic. At these points in time I am often reminded to return to the basics and just go with what is natural and simple.  In a nutshell three things are my go-to basics:
1. Quotes- I tend to find peace in the words in rough times
2. Outdoors- Experiencing nature in the most pure form is remarkable every time
3. Music- I get lost in music, the beat and rhythm have the ability to change my mood instantly

In our lives, what are the basics that we can go back to when we have a rough day?  What brings us inner peace and happiness?  Out of the complicated things in our day to day life, what is the most basic and fundamental thing that brings you joy?

 Here are some of my favorite quotes:


Strive not to be of success, 
but rather to be of value. 
-Albert Einstein

Adopt the pace of nature
her secret is patience.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trust your struggle.
-Anonymous

A society grows great when
old men plant trees whose
shade they know they 
will never sit in. 
-Greek Proverb
