Dintre sutele de pasi care au batut drumul nostru nocturn de la patul tau in bucatarie si inapoi, i-ai mai recunoaste pe ai mei, apasati si stangaci? 

*

Sa fie oare posibil ca undeva in lumea asta cineva sa tanjeasca dupa mine? Cineva sa fie croit pe masura tenebrelor si frustrarilor mele? Sa fie oare cineva destinat mie si numai mie? Cati dintre noi nu ne intalnim niciodata?

*

Poate ca iubire e atunci cand, dupa ce ai stins lumina la baie si ti-ai vazut ochii obositi in oglinda, alti ochi ii privesc pe ai tai de undeva din intunericul apropiat. Si esti impacat cu asta si nu mai tanjesti dupa nimic altceva. Poate ca iubirea e cand nu-ti mai esti tie oglinda.

*

Cred ca inima mea e inchisa pentru renovare. Nu mai incercati.

*

Cred ca mi-am negat niste dureri in ultimii doi ani. Niste lovituri. Aparent a fost bine. Pare ca te simti mai puternic. Aproape reuseti sa-ti vinzi iluzia asta. Ca esti mai puternic. Pana cand intr-o zi un singur cuvant declanseaza in tine durere nevindecata, netratata, netraita, peste care ai aruncat zeci de kilograme de uitare asa cum arunci nisip peste jarul unui foc de plaja dupa ce s-a terminat o noapte magica si te duci sa te culci pe unde nu conteaza.

Oamenii tind sa nu priveasca decat in fata, ca si cand numai de acolo ar trebui sa avem asteptari.

Chiar dorită, sinceritatea absolută nu e uşor de atins şi poate că nici nu e posibilă. Te izbeşti în tine însuţi de o tristeţe care te demoralizează. "Ce rost are?" te întreabă ea. Unele greşeli tot nu mai poţi să le îndrepţi. Nu poţi să răsuceşti clepsidra. Şi, apoi, chiar dacă te hotărăşti să spui totul nu vei reuşi să exprimi totul. O confesiune presupune răbdare, curaj, voinţă, pricepere de a spune, dar, în ultimă instanţă, ea e şi o chestiune de şansă. Cât izbutesc cuvintele să exprime din ceea ce e ascuns în tăcere? – Octavian Paler

“Fiecare om îşi alcătuieşte de-a lungul vieţii un edificiu afectiv. Măsura în care el este e dată de consistenţa acestui edificiu, de mâna aceea de oameni, ei nu pot fi mulţi, pe care i-a preluat în el şi i-a iubit fără rest, fără umbră, şi împotriva cărora spiritul lui critic, chiar dacă a fost prezent, a rămas neputincios. Aceşti oameni puţini, care ne fac pe fiecare în parte să nu regretăm că suntem, reprezintă, chit că o ştim sau nu, stratul de protecţie care ne ajută să trecem prin viaţă.” (Gabriel Liiceanu, Declaratie de iubire)

*

Există momente rare şi preţioase în care avem totuşi norocul să apară în viaţa noastră persoane care ne redeschid drumul către dimensiunea noastră intimă, cărora să putem să le adresăm chemarea “Vino, să pot regăsi drumul înspre mine” (Octavian Paler, Definiţia dragostei).  Persoane cu a căror gânduri şi fel de a fi ne putem identifica şi suntem pe aceiaşi lungime de undă. Oameni faţă de care avem puterea să lăsăm barierele jos şi care ne oferă cel mai adesea motivele pentru care să nu regretăm că trăim pe acest pământ. Făcând acest lucru, probabil că rişti foarte mult, te expui într-un mod care poate deveni extrem de dureros şi eşti foarte vunerabil, însă ce poate să fie mai frumos decât tipul acesta de încredere? În care să nu îţi fie teamă să simiţi şi să oferi, fără a încerca să obţii ceva în schimb?

*

Si vin intotdeauna momente cand esti gata sa dai tot universul tau de himere - peste care esti monarh absolut - pentru o mansarda in care nu domnesti decat daca stii sa fii in acelasi timp si vasal.

*

M-am străduit din toate puterile să mă conving că numai ce admir mă înalţă, dar nu pot să mă prefac că nu văd şi nu aud.

Şi ca să tac mi-ar trebui o forţă pe care n-o am, ori o indiferenţă pe care sper să n-o capăt niciodată.

Apoi sunt oamenii care au depasit nevoia de siguranta, au trecut pe nivelul urmator unde totul tine de acceptare, comunicare, relationare, emotii primare. Acolo lupta ta cu universul este teama ta de abandon. Daca nu te simti acceptat complet, daca simti ca nu poti comunica cu oamenii, daca simti gelozie, teama de a fii respins, teama de singuratate, atunci universul deja iti spune ca te multumesti cu prea putin si ca e cazul sa evoluezi.

Tine minte o regula, tot timpul vei obtine cu usurinta tot ceea ce se gaseste pe un nivel, doar dupa ce l-ai depasit. Cand esti pe nivelul respectiv, esti acolo ca sa ii inveti lectiile, dar nu ai obtinut tot ce iti ofera acel nivel.

If you want something you've never had, be prepared to do something you've never done.

Have the courage to  ask the questions.

Have the brains to ask the right questions.

Nothing is more erotic than a good conversation.

You not believing in yourself is a tragedy.

You are powerful beyond measure.

Everybody wants to see you do well. Just not better than them.

Everybody likes you. Until you become the competition.

Know your own worth - nobody's opinion validates who you are. Happiness is a choice and your playing small does not serve the world. So stand straight, stand proud for what you believe in, stand for your dreams, Being proud does not make you vain - there is nothing wrong is acknowledging your accomplishments and celebrating them with self love. It's important to know what you want. Voice that, and own up to the consequences.

Let's try something new this year. Conquer a great fear. Change a habit or start a new one. Meet some people or let go of others. Remember, your life is a story in progress and you're the author. Make it a good one.

I highjacked the rainbow and crashed it in a pot of gold! \o/

Being nice to people, being good in school, being successful in business and being awesome in life is not a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. It's a decision. There is no such thing as "try", there is only "do" or "don't". And you can't ever say "I can't". You can say "I'm not done yet. So this is my decision, to spite the fates and fight the odds, I chose to have a better year, live a better life. I chose all the good things and overlook the downfalls. Learn from them, not live in them. I chose to see the good in people.

When things go bad, straighten your back, crack your shoulders, roll up your sleeves and deal with it. Instead of getting overwhelmed, be awesome instead.

Live every day by actively trying to improove someone else's life.

Train your mind. Put things into perspective. Sort out the priorities. Recalibrate. Nothing is that big of a deal. Those seemingly large problems are just our life situations, but not life itself.

We are reckless with our hearts, we make a mess and recreate, we inhale what was left, then express interest for all the things we left unsaid. Recalibrate your thoughts.

===

Don’t worry about what other people think of you. It’s mostly in your head. You will be criticized and mocked (often by the ones closest to you) when you go out on a limb, but that is where all the fruit is.

Follow your intuition. Men, this is particularly relevant to you since we tend to look at things too objectively.

Be okay with failure and rejection.

Be okay with losing friends who don’t support your new direction. You will attract the right people into your life if you stay focused and on track.

Recognize the small successes for what they are – a seed planted for something bigger.

Stop judging others or yourself. Give other people the benefit of the doubt. In current terms, don’t be a hater.

Do one thing every day that scares you. Mary Schmich wrote this in her article. Lululemon reusable shopping bags have this written clearly on them. I wrote about my experiences trying this concept out too.

Keep your mind active and always be learning something. Be a lifelong student. Be nice to beginners (newbies, noobs), because if you make the lifelong learning habit, you will always be a “noob” at something. More importantly, be humble.

Don’t concern yourself with being right (and making others wrong). More often than not, it’s better just to be happy.

See your problems as either challenges or preferably opportunities. I will admit that this is harder than it sounds yet it is so important. Looking back on my life, I wouldn’t trade any of my so-called problems for the world, as they’ve taught me so much and brought me to where I am. From them, I’ve learned acceptance, understanding, compassion, courage, and so much more. Change your perspective and soon enough, you’ll be having good problems (e.g. Who should I ask out tonight – Betty or Veronica?)

Let go. Accept the things you can’t change. What you don’t accept will eat you up on the inside, and will synchronistically age you on the outside. I’ll repeat it again - Let go.

Be comfortable with being uncomfortable. On the other side of fear lies freedom.

Celebrate your successes or achievements, but don’t let them inflate your ego. Your accomplishments do not make you a better person than anyone else.

Be flexible.

Stay fit. Your body is the most important possession you will ever have in this world, so take care of it with that in mind. If you owned a Maserati, you wouldn’t put low octane fuel into it, so treat your body likewise.

Give value to other people. Don’t think so much about what you can get. It will come in due time, when you least expect it.

Lift with your knees.

Do what you love. Working hard or working smart doesn’t mean much if you don’t love what you do. Again, focus on giving value. It’s a reward in itself. Steve Jobs said it best: If you haven’t found (what you love) yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.

Simplify. Don’t accumulate too many things. They only tie you down and clutter your mind.

Look for similarities in other people, rather than differences.

Stop watching TV.

Create an action habit. The Law of Attraction doesn’t work without some action.

Practice patience.

Take responsibility for your own actions. Stop blaming others for your circumstances.

Write down your goals.

Review your goals.

Enjoy the journey, not the destination.

And of course … above all else, wear sunscreen
