WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

Helen Keller

WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND ME SEEMS...

Although everything seems to crumble around me, my pillars remain strong. 

  When everything around me seems sad, keep calm and keep moving forward. 

  When everything around me seems overwhelm me, I will focus on my inner work and I will keep trying. 

  When everything around me seems to make no sense, I will breathe deeply and move on. 

  When finished I understand that everything is an illusion, then I'll be quieter. 

When I dare to accept that I am the one that is changing, then I will live quiet.

Much love to you all.

LESS PLANS?

I think that living life without planning, it would be much more fun, I've always been curious to know what would happen if it did not more plans than strictly necessary. It would be fun to welcome spontaneity and let each new moment, became an adventure. Where the script of my life was written by day, it happened all of a more natural and less controlled manner.

I do not know why, but I feel that if I take out this crazy idea, would be a completely different person. Would it be a happy person?, I think so, maybe someday I can turn that idea into reality and to discover.

How beautiful it would be completely owner of my own life and feel free to live my own way, without limitation, do not feel so slave of the system, as they say dreaming is free, so why not dream what would a world without rules? . I accept and understand that we are not yet aware or qualified to do, but, who knows if in the future we can achieve it?

What do you think?

WITHERED ROSE

Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes you purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built. 

James Allen

I DON'T WANT TO MISS THE PRESENT

Yesterday, I went for a walk with my camera in hand, I was in a part of the island which had long not visited, full of hills and small mountains. Not usually rains frequently, so the vegetation is sparse, but the area was pretty green.

After walking a while, I came across this gorgeous plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), when I was taking the picture, I realized that I was actually living in the now, in the present. My mind was quiet, no travel or the past or the future, I was living a magical moment, I really felt alive and connected to the whole, I was living the moment!. It was something I had all but forgotten, it can't be in two places at once. 

So I don't want to miss the present, I want to keep feeling alive!

 I accept the moment as it is.

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE

"Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate."

Zhuangzi

GAPS AND CRACKS

Sometimes, I feel as if I was that glass and I was breaking inside. Watching helplessly as these gaps grow at full speed, before I could react, as if an invisible finger was pushing down on me, crushing me slowly, unable to do anything about it.

I'm talking about the stress and pressure, is something inevitable, but the difference is that now when they are presented suddenly, they do so with less intensity, and does not make me much harm. 

Now I can avoid those cracks stop growing. Try disconnecting from everything that stresses me, it's really complicated, there are days I can identify what it is that makes me feel anxious and stressed, such as work or family issue, but many times, I feel stressed without no apparent reason, such as when I'm on vacation.

I'm working on it, it's something that costs a lot of effort, I think partly because I judge myself too much, that I question everything and it's easier to see the faults of others than our own faults.

 Is time to accept and seal the cracks...

But I have to remember that, "there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in".
