Why do you feel not enough?

Society has made us think that we are not enough: you do not have a house, you do not have a husband/wife/serious relationship, a career or something else. The truth is that society wants to feed you an illusion of a perfect life so that it can force you to buy things.For example, they sell you the idea that your life cannot be complete without a house, and they will force on you a mortgage so that you can buy a house, and then you will get into debt so that you can live a life that you may not want. Maybe your idea of a happy life is to be free, not being in debt for a house because maybe you have not decide were you will settle, that for a moment you want to see places and explore the world.

The world is big and you might feel helpless in front of the life’s events, trust me, don’t panic. It takes a lot of courage to be as you are in this moment in time: broken, happy, conflicting as it may seem. Feel your emotions and make a plan. Don’t ever feel that you are behind in life, because you are on your own path. Nobody has experimented your life and what it took to get here, you are right were you are supposed to be. Keep going, you will succeed. Keep going, you are going places. You can do whatever you want. Believe in yourself.

Protect yourself

Protect your intimacy

Protect yourself

Protect your pace

Protect your mind

Stand silent in the storm of words

Of others

Stand silent in the chaos

Protect your soul

By revealing only to those

Who really deserve to know you

Not everyone needs to have access to you

to your story

or to your life.

Have the courage

I hope you have the courage to start something you like.. I hope that you find it in yourself to be strong and take decisions based on your beliefs not on the others’. Take the uncomfortable action: it is better to take the action today than to wait for the perfect decision. Life will not provide you the perfect circumstances, that is what the best decision you can take is the one taken today.

I recommend you read “The 12 Weeks Year” by Brian P. Morgan & Michael Lennington. They say in order to create a business, you need to align what you want in life, in personal life with the values of the company. Also, they suggest to create a long term vision and to split it in small 12 weeks plan> you need to work on 7 areas: spiritual, spouse/partner, family, community, physical, personal, business. Below 2 quotes that I have found in this book:

Lou Cassara: ” If you want something you currently don’t have, you need to do something you currently are not doing.”

Jack Welch: ” There is no such thing as work life balance. There are work life choices, and you make them and they have consequence.”

I hope that these rows helped you in a way or another, or at least introduced you to a nice book to read. I hope that you have the courage to do everything you want in life and remember it does not have to be huge, just a little step as time passes. Doing small actions of courage will take you through an adventurous life.

Your duty

Your duty is to be yourself

In every moment, in every hour,

Your duty is to be true

to Oneself.

Your duty is to cry

When you need to

Your duty is to have the courage to be

yourself…in every moment you live

However you may feel

Good or bad

Because the world needs you

Just as you are.

Your duty is to feel your emotions,

to take the space that the world has kindly arranged it for you 🙂

Because you may not think about it,

But the world needs you, you have a duty to the Universe

Whether you think about it or not, to be just who you are .

Be kind to yourself

If you ever wonder:

You are worth it

You are needed

I hope you never doubt it

that you have an impact on others

Someone else life may be better because of you

Whether you know it or not

Because a word you said …

..when you never thought that it matters

Because of a smile you gave..

..when you just felt like it

You made someone else life better

Without you ever noticing.

So, be who you are without constrains

the world needs you as you are 🙂

Travel

Travel. Explore, but also do not forget that traveling does not mean only traveling to different locations/countries, often times it means only exploring one’s story.

Travel exposes you to different parts of the world and cultures, but don’t forget to explore things around you. Explore your soul, listen to people’s stories around you- you can learn a lot: you can observe what they are moved by, what they see different in the world, their unique perspective. Each story that you hear may move you in a certain way or another, it may shift well ingrained beliefs you had or it may bring a moment of joy. Please do not ever say you are poor since you cannot physically travel to another country, please look inside you and around you: have you ever explored your soul, listen to stories of other, dream of something? You are not poor, you are complete, you have magic inside of you. Human beings are complex. Explore everything around you 🙂

How to love

The best kind of love that you can experience is self love…that was straight like a quote 🙂 maybe it is, maybe I have heard it somewhere before. But it is true, in order to receive and give love, you need to start loving yourself.

I have recently read Jay Shetty’s “8 Rules Of Love” and one of the main ideas were that you receive what you give, therefore you must spread kindness. He talks in dept also about karma and other stuff, but this is true-be kind to others. Also, he suggests that everyone must be careful how they present themselves to the world, because that version can make someone fall in love and then you will say that it is not you- ” it was just a mask”, that means that is your fault since you did not presented your authentic self. I recommend you read this book, it shifts your perspectives on love. Another great thing that he said that when searching for love; especially when meeting someone new, you should focus on 3 things and the first dates: if you like their personality, if you respect their values and if you would like to help him/her fulfill his/her dreams. Also, in a recent interview with Drew Barrymore, when he was asked by her on why she is not finding romantic partner, he said, that she should analyze if she has love in her life, maybe is experiencing in other ways trough her friendships, family, because after all love is not entirely romantic life. I thought that this is a powerful way to view life, be grateful and search for love of any kind, not just for the “man of your dreams”.

Life is complex, and you may not have it all at this moment, but you need to be patient and be kind to others and yourself. I will add something, when pursuing a life partner, make sure you pin point what you actually want in a partner. Start searching and remember action is needed after all in all aspects of our lives.
