Follow what attracts you

 

Following what attracts you is the quickest and funniest way to realize yourself and your dreams.

How do you want to live the journey towards your desires? In other words, the meaning of life which is expressed in every moment you breathe? The paths are endless, because there are infinite possibilities to express and realize yourself, just choose how you want to live and which colors, movements and sounds you want to dress every day.

If you follow your Inner Being, you’ll aways be in the perfect place, where there is something for you to discover, nurture, reveal, embrace … And the easiest way to follow your Inspiration or Inner Being, is to listen to what you  are attracted to.

If we limit the space we dedicate to these “inner calls”, because we consider them unimportant or details in comparison to what we really want, maybe we lose the sense of the journey and, without realizing it, we move away from the biggest dreams.

Before getting to the great dreams, we have the possibility to be nurtured by the small dreams; those that are more handy, affordable and could make a big difference in our lives in terms of pleasure, satisfaction and beauty.

We might not immediately find the logical thread between what attracts us now and our dreams, but we will understand it later. The important thing is to follow something that you feel inside, even if you do not know how to explain it, but you feel it gives us joy, a sense of peace and well-being. The important thing is to have the sensitivity and the courage to follow that sign.

Thus do not discard what gives you a sense of well-being now, because often the so-called-small-dreams prepare the way to bigger dreams. The only time when we can co-create our reality, is now, the present moment.

If you allow yourself to feel appreciation ​​for the small pieces that begin to compose your puzzle, you activate an incredible power inside you, which molds the Energy that Creates Worlds, the creative power that resides everywhere in the Universe.

Steve Jobs started a calligraphy class without knowing why. Although he did not know the bigger picture, he attended the calligraphy course because he was attracted by it, not because he believed that he would need it in order to create one of the largest tech companies in the world. This allowed him to have fun during the journey that then led him to his bigger dream. He went for a small dream, the calligraphy lessons, without  depriving himself of something he liked.

The greater joy you feel when you do something, the greater success will follow.

It is not pointless to dedicate yourself to what attracts you: it is the most direct path to happiness and success, either if you want to set up an international business or to better care for your children.

Overcoming difficulties

Overcoming difficulties

 

When you face difficulties in your life, you can get so much emotionally or physically overwhelmed, that you wish to overcome your odds as soon as possible. It’s a good attitude to be solution oriented, but do not try to remove what you feel straight away, diminishing or camouflaging it, because the present moment is important and you cannot avoid it, making feint that it has not touched you, disowning it.

Emotions indeed serve precisely to give you an indication of how you perceive the reality you live. When you feel negative emotions it means that you’re far away from your Inner Being, who always feel unconditional love like the Source from which you come from. But the quicker you immerse yourself in the emotions that the majority of people try to avoid, the quicker you are able to let them go and move from grief, anger, discouragement, worry or doubt to contentment, hopefulness and so forth.

Live the experience fully and once the emotional wave that accompanies the storm has passed, you can better assess the strings that has touched within you, its meaning and how you can transform it into something positive, rather than considering it something that just hurts.

 When the storm has passed, it is time to discern what has remained and that perhaps did not exist before a different approach or identity, a greater inner strength or anything like that. There is always this possibility because you can always find out what you like and what you do not like in any situation.

All situations, even those you’d be happy to forget, have the potential to give you something good.

Maybe you won’t see it immediately, but in time you will learn to appreciate it, once you take more distance from the emotional storm.

The practice of appreciation is a simple tool that can help you overcoming difficulties and taking a gulp of air.

Appreciation can transform all the events that you live.

Appreciating means turning pleasant and loving thoughts and emotions towards people, situations, places … Appreciation can be applied to everything and within seconds it can change your mood because when you appreciate, you cannot loath at the same time or complain about something because they are very opposing vibrations. A few minutes a day of appreciation can help you regain your center and get some relief.

 

Just starts from very small things… When you are in bed you can express appreciation for the warm duvet and sheets that surround you, the softness of the pillow and so on… When it rains you can appreciate this gift from heaven that bathes all plants and trees, offering them refreshment… You can appreciate what you wear, eat, do, the words you tell someone, the music you listen to … You can appreciate the blue sky …

In any situation you can always find something to appreciate, it is simply an aptitude to develop, especially if you have not been educated to be appreciative of life. It is only a matter of practice and appreciation is a quality to assimilate.

When you appreciate, you forget your difficulties to find something beautiful to give your attention to. Although sometimes it seems that there is not much to appreciate, it is a matter of focus. By directing your focus to what already goes well and what gives you the slightest relief, you are learning how to allow the good in your life.

Don’t be discouraged if at first you tend more to complain than to appreciate: appreciation is like a flower that needs some time to blossom!

Are you tired to starting over?

Are you tired to starting over?

 

Do not be ashamed if you temporarily give up on your dreams … all the great visionaries did it several times  before they succeeded.

Do not even think about the outcome but HOW YOUR DESIRE MAKES YOU FEEL.

This is the turning point, this is the key.

This is how you can transform a frustrating state into a loving one. Turn your attention to WHY YOU LOVE SO MUCH YOUR DESIRE.

FEEL how it makes you feel. This is the reason why life gave you this desire: TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD & share your GIFTS.

If your desire does not make you feel good, you’ve lost it. You are no longer in the emotional state of your desire but in its lack.

When you look at life from the perspective of lack, there is no color, no meaning, no love, no light…

Every person that asks for something more in life (because life is movement and it makes you always ask for something more: in case you do not want to have any desire, this is still a desire;-) experiences also the lack of the desire. We live in a dual Universe and this is how it works.

So do not feel bad if now you feel that you do not have what you want. Breath and do something else if it is too difficult to align to your Divine Essence right now.

You have infinite possibilities to align again and again to your Light, seeing life from a higher perspective.

Ups and downs are part of the play: they are not the end of the play. 

If you are starting over and over it means you have something big to give to the world. Most people just try a few times and that’s it: if they do not get the results they want, they’re ready to quit. Not you!

You’re not ordinary and you have to do something extra-ordinary: just keep going, you’ve the power to rise from your ashes. Know that every time you bounce back you’ve released more limiting beliefs and old conditioning and you’re not the same as before.

The ascension or evolution is a process, not something you do once and you’re done forever. It’s about layers and the more you let go, the more you let your INNER DIAMOND SHINE. Every time you’re challenged, you’ve a new opportunity to expand your awareness.

AWARENESS is the basis of life: the more you’re aware of your DIVINE ESSENCE and its deep connection to all that is, the more you become a whole bright rainbow.

Don’t worry about how long it takes, it is taking the perfect time and you’ll realize it when looking back you’ll laugh about these moments.

TRUST that all is well and that whatever is your heart desire, it has been placed within you by your soul to help you navigate your life with an accurate map that leads you to joy, wonder and fulfillment!

The art of listening to the children

The art of listening to the children

 

We may believe that children are not interested in anything, just because they are not interested in what we’re interested in. But if we listen to them, rather than to ourselves, we can discover what fascinates them. If a child is not interested in what we like, we do not have to stop, but rather trying to enter the world of the child.

This was obvious when I worked with a family from the Middle East. The parents continued to complain that their son Amir was not interested in anything and that if he had not been routed in some activity, he would not realize anything in life. This belief was so strong in them that at times threatened to affect me too. I decided not to listen to it to concentrate solely on that of Amir. More the days passed, more I discovered interesting aspects of this child.

First of all, he knew how to relax!

This aspect was considered of little account by the parents, because they were both used to never stop, encouraging the hard work. For that, this aspect of their son was quite embarrassing. Amir loved to relax with the music and he knew all types of music. He had done some yoga classes in the past and a few times, I was guided by him into beautiful relaxations in which I was about to fall asleep. This is an art and, frankly, seeing thus developed in a child of 10 years, in which it has not been particularly instilled, hit me.

Amir did not only know a lot of music, but also a myriad of movies and actors. He does great movie’s reviews and he loves going to the cinema. Amir knows many places throughout the world and the collections of several designers. When we walked into a clothing store, he already knew the name of the summer collection. The salesman there confirmed that it was the exact name. Amir used its Ipad to search for information of any kind on the internet: history, news, science, computer science …

He is an affectionate and sensitive child: one day I was not in great shape and he continued knocking on my door to delight me with tea and sweets. I thought that he had read my mind and, on that occasion, I have renamed Amir, my guardian angel.

Amir loves to play basketball, even if it is not the favorite sport by his father, who wanted to see him excel in martial arts, where he signed Amir. One day I wanted to accompany Amir at his martial arts lesson to see him at work because I had imagined seeing him very different from when he plays basketball. In fact, it was so, he was awkward and slowed down and someone struck him.

Several times I repeated to the parents that a shaft of peaches may not give the pears, and I encouraged Amir to choose for himself, and not for his father. Amir loves to travel and touring: as soon as I arrived in the city, he wanted to do with me a sightseeing tour, but the mother has suggested waiting until the next season. Amir would be leaving for a tour every day, discovering new corners of the city: activities that should be absolutely encouraged by their parents.

When I informed the mother that Amir is a child full of passions, she was quite surprised. The father still wanted a son awake and energetic: when he brought him to the pool, the father expected Amir to do 70 tanks, while Amir hoped to just relax and enjoy the lovely warm water.

Parents can learn to listen to their children, by leaving them the freedom to choose what they love, interrupting the chain of duty-pain that is still so deeply rooted in many of us.
