THE NARCISSUSES PRINCIPLE

My daughter me had telephoned several times, to say to me: “Mother, you must come to see the narcissuses before they finish.” I wished to go, but it was a way of two hours from Lagoon to Lake Arrowhead. “I will go east Tuesday”, I promised to him with certain renuencia, when it called by third time.Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Nevertheless, I was fiance', and I handled until there grudgingly. When finally I entered the house of Carolina, the joyful sounds of happy children gave the welcome me. Enchanted, I embraced and I greeted my grandsons.“It forgets the narcissuses, Carolina! The way is invisible with these clouds and this fog, and there is nothing in this world, except you and these small ones, who I wish to see so much as to handle one inch more”My daughter smiled calmadamente and said: “We handled all along in these conditions, Mother.” “Good”, I assured to him, “you will not make me return to the way but until he clarifies, and then he will be for directing house to me”“But, first, we are going to see the narcissuses. They are only a few pictures,” said Carolina. “I will handle, I am customary to this.”
“Carolina”, I said firmly, “please.” “You do not worry, Mother, everything is well, I assure it to you. You would never be forgiven haberte lost this experience.”After about twenty minutes, we doubled to a narrow gravel road and saw a small temple. The other side of the temple, I saw a signboard handmade, with shoots with an arrow, that said: “Garden of Narcissuses.” We leave the car, each took to a small one from the hand, and I followed Carolina by the footpath. Then, when doubling a curve, I watched and I was agape. In front of me it was the most glorious view. (PHOTO)



It seemed as if somebody had taken an enormous bathtub from gold and it would have spilled it on the summit of the mount and its slopes. The flowers were planted in majestic crowded around designs, great strips and strips of orange intense, white creamy, yellow a sallow one, salmon pink, added saffron to and yellow butter. Each variety of different color was planted in great groups, in such a way that they were crowded around and they undulated like a single river, with his own and unique shade. There were five acres of flowers, two hectares and average.“Who did this? ”, I asked to him Carolina. “A woman nothing else”, responded Carolina to me. “She lives in this land. That one is its house.” Carolina indicated a well-taken care of good house with a structure in A, small and modestly seated in the middle of all that glory. We walk until the house.In the patio, we saw a signboard. “Answers to Preguntas that I Know that You are doing”, said the headed one. The first answer was a simple one: “50, 000 bulbs.” The second answer was: “One simultaneously, by a woman. Two hands, two feet and a brain.” The third answer was: “It began in 1958.”
For me, that moment was a experience-that-change-the-life. I thought about this woman to whom never was well-known, that, more ago than forty years had begun to bring, a bulb every time, its vision of beauty and joy to a dark top of a mount. Planting a bulb every time, year after year, this unknown woman had changed for always the world in which she lived. A day every time, she had created something of extraordinary magnificencia, beauty and inspiration. The principle that its Garden of Narcissuses taught is one of the great principles to celebrate.

That is to say, to learn to every time move towards our goals and desires to us a step - to slight it only spent of baby every time and to learn to love doing, to learn to use the accumulation of time. When we multiplied very small spaces of time with small increases of daily effort, we will find that we can realize magnificent things. We can change the world…“To Me it puts sad, in certain way”, I admitted to Carolina. “What would be obtained I if I had thought about a wonderful goal do about thirty and five or forty years, and would be I worked that goal `a bulb every time' through all those years? Nothing else it thinks about which I had realized”My daughter summarized the message of the day in her usual direct way: “She begins tomorrow”, said.It was in the certain thing. She is so without sense to think about the lost hours of yesterday. The way to make the learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause of weighing is to ask nothing else: “How I can use this today”


Use the Principle Narcissus. You do not hope…


Until your car or your house is paid.
Until you obtain to a new car or house.
Until you finish the school.
Until you return to the school.
Until you clean your house.
Until you organize your garage.
Until you clean your writing-desk.
Until you lower five kilos.
Until you raise five kilos.
Until you marry.
Until you divorce.
Until you have children.
Until the children go to the school.
Until your children go away of the house.
Until you retire.
Until the spring.
Until the summer.
Until the autumn.
Until the winter.
Until you die…



There is no better time than now to be happy. The happiness is a trip, not a destiny.Thus, it works as if you did not need money. Mistress as if you had been hurt never. Dance as if nobody was watching to you. If you want to illuminate and to cheer the day to him somebody, pass this to somebody special one. I finish doing it! I wish a precious day you, a day narcissus. You are not scared of which your life finishes, ten fear of which does not begin.
