What are the things?

What are the things that, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier?

We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them.

1. Give up your need to always be right
2. Give up your need for control
3. Give up on blame
5. Give up your limiting beliefs
6. Give up complaining
7. Give up your need to impress others
8. Give up on your fears
9. Give up your excuses
10. Give up the past
11. Give up attachment
12. Give up living your life to other people’s expectations

What are the things that, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much happier?

dance with life

“It is time to walk a different path. This path is not about accumulating stuff. It’s not about money and power. It’s not about dominating other living beings. And it has nothing to do with anger and hate. No, walking this path is simply about living, experiencing, and caring about this precious life and this abundant world. It is a holistic experience for the body, mind and spirit. It is about recognizing, sensing, and exchanging energy with the natural world around us and feeling that energy reciprocated.” - Aaron Hoopes

Even if you can't or don't want to leave your comfortable urban life, get out there and be wild every now and then. By regularly doing that, you will be reminded of how much nature means to us, how much solace it can bring, how much joy and peace and hope.
You will be reminded of how deeply we are connected to all living things. Dance with life!"

Autumn

Autumn is not just about melancholy, rain, thick clothes and apple pies and nuts and pumpkin.
Autumn teaches us a valuable lesson about giving up. Giving up on things like relationships, jobs or even certain environments...
It shows us how beautiful and easy is to give up, to detach yourself like a leaf in the wind, rustling in the air.
The carpets of leaves shows us that giving up can also give birth to brand new dreams.
So why are we so afraid of them and why do we see them as something tragic?
The answer is in the whispers of the wind. Listen carefully and you'll hear their secrets.

Let’s be simply beautiful

"Stuff everywhere! Bags, clothes, cars, iPads. We love our stuff. And over time, we’ve come to believe that this 'stuff' is what defines who we are. But our possessions will never fully satisfy the inmost desires of our soul. They never have. And they are not about to start. In fact, most of the time, it distract us from the very things that bring meaning to our lives.

Instead, our lives are defined by the choices we make. It is these choices that define our character, our authentic self. So choose wisely. Do not miss out by placing importance on things instead of people. Pursue beauty, hope, love and kindness. Pursue opportunity to improve this world for somebody else. Let’s be simply beautiful."

Music...

Music is my way of escaping reality.

When no word can express what I feel or what I'm experiencing, music can do it, because it has a unique language. It has the power to clear my mind and cleanse my heart. With the right music, I either forget everything or remember everything. Music can tell my life story, my love stories, with great ease. When I feel like I have no one close to me, music can be my best friend, it can make me smile, laugh, cry, relive my memories.
I listen to what makes me happy and awakens memories of loved ones and various moments in life!

With a single song I can express what I will never be able to say in words!

happiness is a choice

Today I read an article about happiness that I really liked.

It says that there isn’t one right way to be happy. There isn’t a specific formula that everyone must follow to find true happiness. There isn’t a secret recipe on the back of the Lucky Charms box. (Which is really too bad, that would be awesome.) In fact, what works for one person may not work for another because finding our happy is deeply personal. But it is possible and is entirely up to each of us.

Happiness is a choice. Whether we want to believe it or not, we are responsible for how happy we are.

There is a lot of power in realizing that we are in charge of our own happiness. No one else gets to call the shots. And while our friends and family can be a part of our “happiness team” they don’t get to decide how to play the game or what that game even looks like. The best cheering section is the one that will cheer you on no matter what.

After all, life brings certain obstacles that can challenge everything we’ve ever known about being happy. There are times when it is incredibly difficult to find the joy and the light when it feels like everything has been turned upside-down and backwards. In fact, when you’re in the trenches, someone telling you that happiness is a choice may be the last thing you want to hear. But it’s being able to find that spark, that light, that one thing you can hold on to that will allow you to see the good up ahead-lighting the way through the dark. And following that light, knowing that happiness is a possible option, can make all the difference in the world.

Life is similar to a bus ride

“Life is similar to a bus ride.
The journey begins when we board the bus.
We meet people along our way of which some are strangers, some friends and some strangers yet to be friends.
There are stops at intervals and people board in.
At times some of these people make their presence felt, leave an impact through their grace and beauty on us fellow passengers while on other occasions they remain indifferent.
But then it is important for some people to make an exit, to get down and walk the paths they were destined to because if people always made an entrance and never left either for the better or worse, then we would feel suffocated and confused like those people in the bus, the purpose of the journey would lose its essence and the journey altogether would neither be worthwhile nor smooth.”

special moments

For me the most important things in life are related to family and peace of mind. Every moment spent with my family is a gift.
I like to lay on my father chest and watch football together but what i like the most is kissing him. He doesn't like it and i have to run after him hahaha..
I like to hug my mum and to feel her close to me, to sing with my brother and to play football together..
With my nephew i have special moments. Even if he is only 3 years old i learn a lot of things from him and from kids especially..they feel no embarrassment in falling over, getting it wrong, or showing anyone exactly how they feel. Every day brings discoveries, wonder, and excitement. Every day is new. They’re always way too caught up in the fun to even think about the consequences. They laugh with every inch of their bodies until they're hurt, and they still keep laughing.
Another thing i love is to sleep at my parent's house because it reminds me of my childhood and there I always find an oasis of peace beyond worries and agitation. No matter what, home will always be the place where I always feel the best. Memories with loved ones are the ones who will tell us that we have really lived.
Family is not the most important thing.. family is everything!

Rain...

Rain..Rain is simple....
Rain expresses so many feelings and experiences that you don't even realize. When you are a child you go out in the rain, when you grow up you kiss in the rain, when you are sad the rain falls with your tears, when you are happy you dance in the rain.
Rain is something special for me! When it rains I feel the need to go outside to stay in the rain..This thing happened the other day .. I wanted to feel the cold drops falling on to me.
I felt it cleared my mind, made me forget everything, erased any trace of pain, sadness or any other negative emotion ..
Rain makes me feel closer to nature, I feel that I have a connection with it!
Rain makes me think, feel, wish!

Some insight...

Yesterday i did something i haven't done for a long time. I wanted to feel free , light, a bit "naked", present. It's a wonderful feeling that reminds me of my childhood. Walking barefoot brings you back to the present moment. it's difficult to think about something else when you do this. You can't be stuck with some sort of anger or be consumed by worry or stressed by the incoming events. That moment brought me joy and inner calmness and if, in life, you can experience the sensations of whatever you are doing, it could be a beautiful thing!

Smile Or Frown?

Just laughing all the and having the biggest smile of in my group of friends is really an enjoyable treat i've learned from my mother that smiles as much as she can. Of course there are sad or trying times when that smile seems to fade away but i know that a powerful being, somewhere, really tries to make our lives a bit more bearable and the only thing i can do to make it happy is to smile as often as i can, thanking it for the beautiful day i'm having. How about you? Do you smile or frown?
