Pause and think alas do not take yourself so damn seriously!!


Pause and think alas do not take yourself so damn seriously!!












This can be applied to anybody, in every situation, under every circumstance and any circumstance.

How come that some people can live their lives in a fun way and spontaneously whereas some others can stress over thing after thing after thing after thing?

Where and how do we draw a line between just having fun and taking ourselves and our life way too seriously?

Are we the only ones who can decide? Yes, of course, we are! We have always been after all!!

Can we just slow down for a bit from time to time and relax there?

Can we just have fun and calm down after the argument that was not meant to hurt in the first place?

How do we actually recognize and notice when we have crossed the border of being fun to being very touchy, perhaps even way too sensitive and way over too serious as the matter of the fact?

What if we could stop and laugh out loud at ourselves?

Does everything have to be perfect in our very eyes?

Does everybody have to apologize to us, even though they were just having fun for themselves and they did not mean to hurt us or to touch us in any way whatsoever?

Life as we already know is full of people, it is full of surprises, it is full of unexpected happenings, it is full of rollercoaster, it is full of meetings, it is full of lessons, it is full of rides, it is full of learning, it is full of teaching, it is full of books, it is full of songs, it is full of music, it is full of friends, it is full of enemies, it is full of teas, it is full of positions, it is full of articles, it is full of exercises, it is full of children, it is full of adults, it is full of water, it is full of sun, it is full of moon, it is full of advantages, it is full of disadvantages, it is full of incidents, it is full of accidents, it is full of letters, it is full of talks, it is full of speeches, it is full of chats, it is full of messages, it is full of hugs, it is full of kisses, it is full of snuggles, it is full of cuddles, it is full of fights, it is full of making ups, it is full of family, it is full of community, it is full of neighbours, it is full of plays, it is full of dialogues, it is full of monologues, it is full of exams, it is full of trials, it is full of errors, it is full of travelling, it is full of tickets, it is full of missed trains, it is full of missed buses, it is full of moneys, it is full of beauty, it is full of dreams, it is full of ambitious, it is full of flowers, it is full of trees, it is full of plants, it is full of rivers, it is full of oceans, it is full of landscapes, it is full of textbooks, it is full of balls, it is full of sports, it is full of homework, it is full of study, it is full of shopping, it is full of discounts, it is full of laptops, it is full of notebooks, it is full players, it is full of hills, it is full of slopes, it is full of sunshine, it is full of rain, it is full of snow, it is full of every type of animals, it is full of patience, it is full of hostility, it is full of goodness, it is full marks, it is full of love, it is full of gratitude, it is full of appreciation, if is full of fondness, it is full of purity, it is full of misery, it is full of happiness, it is full of thoughts, it is full of memories ever written, it is full of personal memoirs, it is full of novels, it is full of ramblings, it is full of faults, it is full of movies, it is full of performances, it if full of theatres, it is full of musicals, it is full of romances, it is full of dirt, it is full of dust, it is full of miracles, it is full of magnificence, it is full of  boys, it is full of girls, it is full of men, it is full of women, it is full of elderly, it is full of sweet babies, it is full of anything that your mind can possibly conceive.

What would you let happen to you?

And what would you do not let happen to you under any circumstance?

Can we switch from time to time and relax ourselves, relax all of our rules, relax all of our routine, relax all of our already timely and  planned and fully booked schedule?

Would you mind a little bit of dust on your face?

Would you mind someone having a fun of you on your behalf?

Would you mind a little bit of motion in your life?

Would you mind a little bit of stir in your life?

Would you mind a little bit of challenge in your life?

Would you mind a little bit of delay of your friend on your date together?

Would you mind a little bit of imperfection on your part from time to time?

Would you mind a little bit of imperfection on the part of the people around you from time to time?

Would you mind loosing up a little bit yourself from time to time?

Do you know areas of yours that could use a bit of improvement from time to time?

When was the last time that you really make a totally and absolute fun of yourself for yourself and in front of your friends??! J


There is somebody for everybody!

Take the last breath.....


Take the last breath.....











This post has been written once by yours truly. However, it has never been published as it got lost. As simple as that!

So, I am going to go for it and give it my best shot one more time.

The real idea behind this title was actually the realization of the importance of the time and all that is associated with it.

I have been writing about things and places and people and meetings and conferences and seminars and classes and food and drinks and friends and lovers and children and all that that we would like to do or make or say or think about or talk about or speak about or even chat about under the circumstance that are time is limited here. And it certainly is limited. It is pretty much limited.

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be doing?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be thinking about?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, who would I be thinking of and about?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be saying?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be making of myself?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be making?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be speaking about?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, who would I be speaking to?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be singing?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, who would I be singing to?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be dancing to?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, who would I be dancing with?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be talking about?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be wishing for?

If I was given the very last breath of mine, what would I be dreaming about?


How would you use your very last breath?

Just imagine there would be only couple of days left for you.

Would you do anything differently?

Perhaps, would you start eating healthily?

Perhaps, would you start exercising?

Perhaps, would you start partying?

Perhaps, would you start eating different food?

Perhaps, would you drink different drinks?

Perhaps, would you be more open minded, if not already, if you so desire?

Perhaps, would you start going on more dates?

Perhaps, would you apologize to somebody?

Perhaps, would you be more appreciative of the surroundings close to you?

Perhaps, would you be more grateful?

Perhaps, would you be more helpful?

Perhaps, would you being studying again?

Perhaps, would you start writing in your journal?


To me, when you feel the finish is close, the finish is nearby, many people to meet and to talk to, to close your account, to say good byes, to clean up after yourself, to get the deposit, to return the key, etc. you have a certain feeling deep inside. And a lot of confusion can appear on the surface as well.

And yes, of course, you want to use this period, this time as best as you can.

When one door closes, another certainly opens up for you as well simultaneously.

To anyone, as well as myself, the opportunity can have many faces. The same applies for instance to this article. This article could be written in so many ways and still there will be a space for an improvement, a huge one as it is.

People differ in so many aspects. As many people there are, there always are going to be differences in thinking, in approaching things and people and meetings and arrangements, and they are also going to be a huge spots in regards to considering questions such as this topic’s article suggests.

Maybe when things do not really work out for us the way we wish they would, perhaps then we would be really ready to appreciate when they actually work for us in a way we would wish them to go and to be.

What can we expect from such an experience?

People, us, are only going to be happy under the following conditions:

Did we love?

Have we been loved in return?

Did we serve?

Did we live?

Have you really lived?

Have we really lived fully and passionately and happily and successfully?

Did we practise compassion?

Did we practice forgiveness?

Did we practice appreciation on its all possible levels?

Did we practice gratitude on its all possible levels?

Did we find the passion of ours?

Did we find the love of our life?

Did we make friends?

Did we enjoy the nature?

Did we enjoy the beauty?

Did we enjoy children?

Did we enjoy animals?

Did we enjoy healthy food?

Did we enjoy great drinks?

Did we explore some other different cultures?

Did we learn a foreign language?

Did we learn to sing?

Did we learn to dance?

Did we learn to read and write?

Have we helped someone who would never be able to repay us back in return, someone who has not even the slightest idea of us helping them at all?

Did you find a cause you truly and passionately support and believe in?

Did you raise somebody?

Did you leave a legacy? What is it about? Who is involved? Is it still going on and strong? Can it be carried on upon your arrival?

Thank you for reading! Much appreciated.

As to my very own surprise, this article of mine has significantly changed from the one I wrote previously, to say the least. The state of mind is a serious business of its own, that must be very true right now at this very moment and this very minute.

Friends/Lovers vs Lovers/Friends

Friends/Lovers vs Lovers/Friends







Yesterday one of my articles was not published. And the reason, you may be (or not!) asking is profoundly simple! I lost it. Yes, I lost my article (precisely the internet connection) just a second before I was meant to hit the publish button. And surprise, surprise, the day before the same thing happened again. You would have thought I may have learnt from my previous mistakes, but nope, no I have not learnt as it seems to be the case. But today, yep, today, it is going to be different. And also the days after that would be the same, the same success, that is, I mean.

Things are coming close to the finish line, close to the end for me.

Something new is opening up for me, a new chapter is coming up for me.

I can feel it in my very bones.  

This today’s subject is brand new. I am also going to be returning to my unpublished article from yesterday, today!

The title of today’s topic is very dear to me as I have been challenged by the whole and entire experience for some time now.

What do I have in mind exactly?

Our friends and/or our lovers.

Could those groups be actually the same ones, the same people, the same characters, the same personalities, the same souls, the same minds, the same hearts, the same bodies, the same brains, the same persons?

Can your lover become your friend?

Can your friend become your lover?

Can lovers become friends at all?

Can friends become lovers?

Yes, sure, there must be a fine line between the two of them.









Some stand strong by the opinion of the fact that if the two people become friends after being emotionally and physically involved in each other and together and all of a sudden they become friends (not lovers anymore) then they were not really in love with one another.

Now, having a little broaden view on the entire topic, we could also state that yes, of course, lovers can be friends. They can share secrets with each other, deal with all challenges of the life separately or together, plan things together, open up to one another, make and do things together, laugh out loud together, smile at each other, eat and drink and be merry together, of course, too!

If there ever was a spark between the two people, can they be friends without the need to get physical and bond again together on an emotional level? What if they fall into the same old pattern of love making and bonding and sharing on deeper level again?

Could this ever be the case? Could this ever happen, at all?

I do not know. I have not got a clue. I have no idea whatsoever. I may yet have to experience it. I may yet have to see it. I may yet have to feel it. I may yet have to view it. I may yet have to crave it. I may yet to be starving for it. I may yet become hungry for it.

Have you experienced your friend as a lover and your lover as a friend, vice versa?

As I am pretty sure there could be written hundreds if not millions of books speaking and talking about this very subject.

Relationship is a chapter by itself. And it is a huge chapter. And it is a massive chapter.

Perhaps we should just come down and take in what comes to us. Enjoy every single each person that happen to appear in our life. She is there for a reason. He is there for a reason. Perhaps we may be concern. Perhaps we may be learning the greatest lesson of ours right now. Perhaps we have been teaching people around us without our even noticing it, even mentioning it, even realizing it, even knowing it.

Perhaps we have been the greatest lover of all to somebody right now.

Perhaps we have been the greatest friend of all to somebody right now.

Perhaps you have been having and enjoying the greatest lover of yours right now at this very moment.

Perhaps you have been having and enjoying the greatest friend of yours right now at this very moment.

Could this be the case for you?

Could this be the case for your lover?

Could this be the case for your friend?

What lesson or lessons would you offer to your best lover of all?

What lesson or lessons would you offer to your best friend of all?

What lesson or lessons have you been learning and teaching yourself?

No matter what we do, no matter where we go, no matter what we say, there are going to be lessons to be learnt and lessons to be taught and given and there are always going to be people surrounding us, supporting us, navigating us, helping us out, admiring us, loving us, hating us, imagining us, visualizing us, kissing us, adoring us, hugging us, holding us tight, sleeping with us, embracing us, thinking about us, dreaming about us, wishing us well, directing us, crying out loud for us, emerging with us, entering with us, waiting with us and waiting for us, making sure we are okay, asking us about our day, drawing a goal list with us, singing with us, dancing with us, listening to music with us, etc.

How are we going to make sure that all the relationships we have last for as long as possible and we are getting along nicely with one another?

How are we going to play our own part and develop soft skills in order to get on with each other?

This is never ever ending.

There is no short cut to our journey.

This story is still unfolding.

This story still continues.

This process is still under the construction.

Be patient as everything comes to you in its perfect timing!

Happiness is a choice, not a destination!


And I may just as well end this topic just for the time being…..

Thank you very much for taking your time to read!

SHALL WE DANCE?!? {Relationships (to me) are like a dance!}

SHALL WE DANCE?!?

{Relationships (to me) are like a dance!}







I make a move and you make a move.

You are doing one thing/something/anything for that matter, and I soon follow after with my doing my very own thing for you.

I take a step and you take a step.

You do this, I do that.

You post a song on your profile and I am going to do the same, sooner or later, anyway.

You kiss me and I kiss you back.

I acknowledge you and the next time I see you doing the same to me.

I, you, we say sweet something simultaneously.

We appreciate one another.

We are smiling at each other.

We are laughing together.

We are respectful toward our relationship.

We are connected with one another.

We are on the same wavelength.

We are one on a deeper level.

We are mutual muses for both of us, towards each other, with one another.

And vice versa.

I am wondering would you count your longest relationship as the most ‘’successful’’ one?

Have we learnt something, anything from the experience, from the person we had been involved in and with?

From every relationship we have invested ourselves into we have also gained an incredible amount. We are not the same human beings. I am not the same person as I was before I entered into this relationship. So much so, I have learnt about myself, about the other person, about respect, about tolerance, about kindness, about caring, about sharing, about love, about patience, about good timing and about bad timing, too, about thinking as one, about true listening, about sharing ideas, about comparing ideas, about inspiring one another, about being there for each other, about giving up, about music, about songs, about tracks, about tunes, about bands, about deep heart beats, about walks, about talks, about chats, about responding, about texting, about waiting and awaiting, about the rides, about the driving, about a whole lot!

Would I be describing a relationship as a 50/50% partnership?

Well, maybe yes and maybe not!

It is way more than that!! Way more! Let us go over - board here now…

What would you possibly sacrifice for the sake of your relationship?

What would you possibly sacrifice for the sake of your partner?

What would you possibly sacrifice for your very own sake?

What would you possibly give up on in order to make the relationship happy and fulfilled and working and on the top of the mountain?

Would you need to be just a little bit more forgiving?

Would you need to be just a little bit more giving?

Would you need to be just a little bit more loving?

Would you need to be just a little bit more grateful?

Would you need to be just a little bit more respectful?

Would you need to be just a little bit more appreciative?

Would you need to be just a little bit more patient?

Would you need to be just a little bit more present?

Would you need to be just a little bit more open?

Would you need to be just a little bit truer?

Would you need to be just a little bit more honest with yourself?

Would you need to be just a little bit more helping?

Would you need to be just a little bit more organized?

Would you need to be just a little bit more spontaneous?

Would you need to be just a little bit more passionate?

Would you need to be just a little bit more fun?

Would you need to be just a little bit friendlier?

Would you need to be just a little bit more compassionate?

Would you need to be just a little bit more of yourself?

What would you need to work on yourself in order to satisfy the cravings of all in question?


Relationships are a way for us to relate to each other. They are helping us a bridge the gap between us two. We should be working at it every single each day to ensure its progress. I am talking about working at it. I am not talking about working on it.

Has been something failing big for you?

What could be improved?

The dance we are doing, the happy one with the one person in our life, is a precious one. The one that should not be ever taken for granted, it is the one that never ever should be taken advantage of. It is exactly the one that should be acknowledged as such, appreciated and been grateful for.

The road to that very destination can take years and the journey to it may not be an easy one. There may be so many obstacles that would have us consider it all done, finished, call it quits and totally and absolutely give up on the whole concept of relationships. 

There may be so many challenges that we may even question ourselves if we are actually really destined for a relationship or if we are meant to stay alone, lonely, single for the rest of our lives, after all….

My own story is still on, still continues, still going strong for most of the time.

The relationship, any relationship, for that matter, is worth the wait, even the pain, the time, the sacrifice, the cries, the sorrow, the tears, the confusion, the worry, the sleepless nights, the weary eyes, the mindless thinking, the days without any food eaten, the days to go without drinking, the days without the muse, the days without the inspiration, the days without any creativity whatsoever.

And yes, it is so painful when the feelings are not appreciated, when the love is not reciprocated, when the passion is gone, when the lovers eyes are not looking straight at you, when you want your own space, when you both need time to think for themselves, when the ideas are not shared and mutual, when all the plans seem to fall through and fall apart, etc.

Get up, dust yourself off and carry on.

Life goes on.

It is time to move on.

NEXT!! J

Words vs Actions


Words vs Actions







A word. Words. A sentence. Sentences. Lyrics. An expression. Expressions.

Action. Actions. Taking an action. Taking a step. Act upon something.

The shortest answer is doing.

There was a difference between what you said and what you did.

Show me, don’t tell me.

Do not wish it was easier, wish you were better!

Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words!

Our actions are who we are; our words are who we hope to be.

We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.

Words may lie, but actions will always tell the truth.

You can say sorry a million times, say I love you as much as you want, say whatever you want, whenever you want. But if you are not going to prove that the things you say are true, then don’t say anything at all because if you cannot show it, your words don’t mean a thing.

Sometimes the words can hurt more than the physical pain.


What words have you spoken recently?

What actions have you taken recently?

Have you been diligent with your words?

Have you been diligent with your actions?

Are you the sort of person who speaks at every single opportunity yet with not real actions to back it up with?

Have you done today something for someone who will never be able to repay it to you?

I myself have been willingly keen on keeping my words. Not to promise anything that I feel I was not ready or able to fulfil yet. Being proactive rather than reactive is the name of the game here. And yes, of course, I have been still making mistakes along the way and learning from them simultaneously. And I have still so much to learn, so much to do, so much to finish, so much to go.

What sort of people have you been keeping in touch?

What sort of people have you been relating to?

What sort of people have you been staying in contact?

What sort of people have you contacted recently?

What sort of people have you been with on the same wavelength?

What sort of people have you been connecting with most recently?

What sort of people have you been feeling like at home with?

What sort of people have you been there for them at any time, at any moments, in any place whatsoever?

What sort of people have they been there for you at any time, at any moments, in any place whatsoever?

What sort of people have you been enjoying their company most, the most recently?

What sort of people have you been most clicking with for the most of the time?

What sort of people have you been forming the master mind with the most, for the most of the time?

What sort of people have you been a mutual mind with the most, for the most of the time?

What role do they play in your life and what role have you been playing in their lives?


Now, we all realize that we cannot build the castles on empty words only. There needs to be a willing hand, a pot and clay, some ideas thrown in, a lot of patience, plenty of time, an effort to be put in, love, hope, believe, faith and much, much more!

Who does mean well with you?

Have you been sick and tired of people around you telling you things and sweet nothings and you so know in your heart of hearts that they words mean close to nothing?

Who can you possibly trust the most? Is it your family? Is it your friends? Is it your co-workers? Is it your best friend? Is it your teacher? Is it your mate? Is it your wife? Is it your husband? Is it your spouse? Is it your neighbour? Is it your child? Is it your parent/parents? Is it your sister? Is it your brother? Is it your cousin? Is it your nephew? Is it your soul mate? Is it your kindred spirit?

Feeling of safety and security is so important, it is so vital, especially in this world.

People feel insecure, lonely and alone. And no, it is not an easy task to find a person you can totally and absolutely trust and feel like you can share with this person your inner most dreams, ambitions, aspirations, worries, troubles, challenges, good days and bad days, etc.

How would you recognize in your opinion a person worth fighting for?

Do they have a sing on their forehead telling you so?

How would you describe a responsible and trustworthy person?

Who would you invite in your close circle and you would you rather prefer leave out?

Who do you need? Who do you not need?

Who needs you??

Whose actions speak louder than their words?

Have you yourself been the best of all examples to others and those around you?

Have you lost it once or twice on the occasions?

What did you do right afterwards when you realize you had made a mistake, you had said something that should be left alone by itself? Did you go and apologize? Or did you say nothing at all and took the action in order to prove to the very person what they mean to you and what sort of person you are?

Have you given an advice to somebody on such a topic?

No matter what we do, no matter what we say, the right people will recognize the like - minded folks. They will still keep on looking until they bump into them.

Can you prove yourself by actions rather than by plain words on their own?

From your very own perspective, what ignites in you if you hear somebody talk about a certain topic?

From your very own perspective, what ignites in you if you see somebody do something about a certain challenge?


There’s a crack, a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in ~ Leonard Cohen.

Inspiration

Inspiration








I have been waiting for the sign.

I have been waiting for something to guide me.

I have been waiting for something to show me the way.

I have been waiting for something to give me some signs.

I have been waiting for something to provide me with opportunities.

I have been for the signs of guidance.

I have been waiting for my mutual muse!

I have been waiting for an inspiration.

I have been waiting for my motivation to kick in over and over again.

I have perhaps been even waiting for my spirit to show up.

I have maybe been even waiting for my angel to show up.


What is your inspiration?

Where do you go to look for it?

Who is your inspiration?

Where is your inspiration?

Have you got a muse that you can call your very own?

Do you have somebody who is the greatest inspiration you have ever had?

Is there a muse out there who guides your every step of the way?

Where do you got to get your motivation going?

Where do you motivate yourself the most?


How do you regain your strength after a break - up?

Have you ever told yourself to never go that lane ever again?

Because you just cannot simply take it anymore!

Are you going to put yourself on the line again and start exercising?

Are you going to put yourself on the line again and begin eating more healthily?

Are you going to put yourself on the line again and start dating again?

Are you going to put yourself on the line again and begin meeting and making new, interesting, fun and like - minded people like yourself?

Are you going to put yourself on the line again and start looking for a position?

Are you going to put yourself on the line again and begin searching for and looking for the passion of yours?

Are you going to put yourself on the line again and start fighting for what you believe in, for what you hope for, for what you desire, for what you are passionate about, for what you crave, for what you are hungry for, for what you are starving after, for what you want the most, for what you need the most, for what you dream about?


How many times have you already tried?

How many times have you already failed?

How many times have you already succeeded?

Do you need to apologize or is it too late?!


What would you do if you lost all the directions in your life, if the purpose of your life seemed to get and was absolutely and totally and utterly lost, if you have tried all of the options, if you feel absolutely and totally and utterly wasted, if you did not know whatsoever what to do, what next steps to take, whose advice you should take and listen to, when your very own mind wanders in too far away lost places, when you feel confused?


Have you been betrayed?

Have you been left alone and lonely?

Have you been cheated on?

Have you lost all of your property?

Have you lost all of your possessions?

Have you lost your loved one?

Have you lost all of your money?


How do you possibly start all over again after all you have worked for so long and for so hard got lost and vanished and disappear, was demolished and destroyed, removed from the face of the earth, even maybe misplaced, perhaps?

Do you go back and think of all of your success and achievements up to date?

Do you write in your gratitude journal?

Do you express your appreciation for everything that you have already gained up to date?

Do you go outside for a walk?

Do you go and do some exercise?

Do you enjoy your favourite meal?

Do you enjoy your favourite drink?

Is there a special person that is always there for you, to help you remember and recall and celebrate everything that is already in your life, in your possessions?

How and where do you get your batteries recharged again?

Where and how do you regain your strength all over again?

Everyone, every single person in the world has been hurt, betrayed, sadden, upset, got angry, got disappointed, got tired, got frustrated, got stressed over.

If not yet, it will. This is a part of the learning, this is a part of the journey, that is life.

How do we go about resolving any situation we find ourselves in, by reaction or by being proactive?

I have learned the hard way on so many occasions the sweet taste and a little bit of sour taste of life. Perhaps I should speed up the process of learning by not making the same mistakes again, perhaps I should even learn from those who have been there and who have done that. Perhaps I should even ask for an advice earlier. Perhaps I should read different books, perhaps I should read more, perhaps I should write more, perhaps I should speak less and listen more, perhaps I should make more new friends, perhaps I should even eat different types of food and drink different sort of drinks, perhaps I should study a different object, perhaps I should exercise more, perhaps I should sleep more, perhaps I should relax more, perhaps I should chill out more, perhaps I should be more helping, perhaps I should behave differently, perhaps I should act differently, perhaps I should visit more places and countries and states, perhaps I should visit more people, perhaps I should apologize, perhaps I should teach more, perhaps I should practise compassion more, perhaps I should be more grateful, perhaps I should be more appreciative off all the things already present in my life, perhaps I should love more, perhaps I should smile more, perhaps I should laugh out loud more, perhaps I should be more giving myself, perhaps I should not be so closed minded, perhaps I should not take myself so damn seriously!
