I'm sinking!

Have you ever felt like you were in a boat sinking?   The feeling is that you cannot do anything to change the way things are flowing.    ...when you think things are gonna be okay, you start losing the control over the happenings.

Certainly, one day we are gonna understand the reasons behind these down moments.

The boat is sinking...  what shall I do with my life now??        ...maybe find a better boat instead of sinking with this weak one.  

"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it." – Charles Swindoll

These down moments have to be smaller than our capacity of keep moving towards our goals in life.

Actually, if we woke up this morning it does mean we have a new opportunity to keep working, studying, helping people we don't know in the streets in order to be grateful for this wonderful new day on earth.

The importance of having dreams...

 

What is a human being without dreams?  Dreams make us understand why we are still alive in this material body. The dreams give us the proper strength we need to go ahead!  In this painting above has a beautiful place and a bridge.

Are you ready to walk along this bridge?  ...this bridge can represent many things, even changing attitudes towards your life.

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist 

Are you taking care of your dreams?
... think about it!

Fallen star

I saw the fallen star you saw
I asked her something, the same thing
The fallen star has promised

The fallen star has disappeared without a trace,
and the time spent looking for other fallen star
makes me feel that I am losing someone special
but I will keep looking for other fallen stars. ...without saying godbyes because it hurts, I will go ahead.

I hope one day I can look back and confirm that things couldn't be different.

Moon, you know.....

The most beautiful moon I ever saw remains in my memory like a beautiful photo
Tears full of ilusion, distress, happiness...  the magic of living and being a human being.....
Oh, moon....  you are so beautiful.
Only you know my secrets.....    secrets from an imperfect person trying to find something in somewhere....   an endless task....  an unachievable task.  You know my secrets Moon, but I will never know yours...

Moon, I am imperfect....  but you let me feel so complete, because you inspire me poetry
Moon, I know you can remember the first kiss and the first disappointment

...you know...      everything has changed.
...you know.

Being free... What does it really mean?

When I was a child I thought that freedom was related to how much time I could spend playing with my friends in the garden. Going to school and doing my homeworks with my mom observing meant that I was not free.  And I wished it - being free to do what I want, in those days simply playing and playing, without eating or having bath. Therefore, my plans as a child was to become some sort of animal like a pig. This represented the freedom I wanted. Thanks God, time passed and I grew up changing my thoughts.

In adolescence phase, freedom was interpreted by me as the power of being different from others. If I could be different, I was free so. However, I felt like a snail moving in a slowly way towards my objectives. My objectives were all mixed with personal problems all created by me. So, when the school days finished I decided to find my own world. I decided to go to university but with no friends at all. Isolated, but protected from the silly things that society was offereing me. Protected, but not free.

Now, in the end of my course at my dreamed university I can see thinks in a different way. Freedom is not related to things you can do in the time you want, or say things you want to say to any person at any time. Freedom is to be able to understand your feelings, controlling your emotions and understanding why you feel them. Freedom is to be able to interact with others and with yourself. Freedom is to have free access to your instincts and control them.

In my way of thinking, being free means........     something that you can fell only, not to express. It is something that neither destroy you nor people that surround you.

Bautiful morning at beach!

The art of procrastination...

 
When we don't really want to do something, we simply procrastinate it.  Why?
The reason is, in my opinion, "things aren't flowing well" and you are so tired(bored) that you decide to do nothing.  Today, I've decided to write here!
The problem is that time is passing(obviously!). 
The worst part: time can be your best friend or not. 
Summary: Procrastinating is avoided when we change the way we are facing things. 

Go out to walk some minutes (please, come back), sit again and start. :) 

*The best way to predict your future is to create it by working hard and doing your best to change the way things are or are not flowing now!

Hard days...

smashingpicture.com

 

There are days that you can feel like an ant carrying a big heavy leaf on a dangerous way. There is nobody to help you, but you have to reach a goal in some way because you know that if you stop things will stuck and you won't get things done.
 
...in this moment, for me, things seem to stuck but in the same way I have the strength to carry on, because the reward is close.

"The best way to predict your future is to create it." - Abraham Lincoln 

...walking and.....

Love is going to be those beautiful flowers that will be finded one day when walking so absent-minded.

Kahlil Gibran on Love 



When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep. 
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden. 

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. 

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. 

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart. 

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love. 

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. 

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Hope

There is a bird that insists in following us, and doesn't matter we are going. This bird I call hope!

Maybe, the crazy life has filling us of negative thoughts and fear. But somewhat inside us does not give up to believe in life.

Sometimes It makes me wonder...

        If one flower gets to grow up on the rock, why  aren't my dreams going to grow up on this earth full of difficulties and pain, turning it a little bit more beautiful and lively?

       I think it can be possible if I simply start dreaming now.
