Living the life

 It's time to start living the life you've imagined. 

 - Henry James 

Very few people dare; dare to try dare to disrupt the routine or status quo. Today's message is about daring to live the life you imagined to the fullest.

"Oh! I will do it later." When you ask? When the kids will be older. When I will be retired. When I will lose weight. When I will have a life partner. When I will have a better job. When chicks will do backflips.

We make so many excuses instead of stepping out of our comfort zone. It does not have to be drastic but rather it has to be gradual. You want to start a personal very cozy garden. Start by learning, buying 2 pots and just one type of seeds. If it does not work out, well try again.

We live in an extremely critical world, where our dos and don'ts are harshly scrutinized and autopsied. Social comformity and acceptation bring status and an illusion of safety. Many times social media has been blamed for instilling a deeply rooted fear of failure. Most of us tend to post our brightest moments, our wins, we hide the messy process, the set backs and the unsuccessful attempts.

Some individuals are also afraid that the project imagined sounds much better on paper than in reality. Holding on tight to a dream, to the idea of something or someone better out there, feeding and fueling  this intense fantasy is safer and cozier than risking a rude awakening. Sometimes the grass is not greener elsewhere, your lawn just needs a little more care and watering.

Someone once said that we need distraction and holidays because we feel miserable most of the time, causing the society in general to develop a viseral need for escapism. An off grider commented on the subject by adding that once they created the life of their dream, holidays were not a consideration. Everyday was an enjoyable experience. 

Either you start building the life you will enjoy or you start enjoying the life you have.

Are we free to choose?

Dreams versus responsibilities. Obligations or illusions? Are we really free to choose our preferred destinations? Are we really free to make our own decisions? Or do we all inherit our ancestors' despair and our parents' faux pas? All around me I see patterns, generational sequences endlessly reoccuring.  After empathically paying attention  to my ancestors' regrets, I realised that I had had the displeasure of experiencing similar situations despite of the different era I live in.  That is why these are called generational trauma and curses. Till the root of the problem is not addressed, the sequence repeats itself, irrespective of how careful one is.  For some it is the evil seed of phallocracy, for others the cancerous mole that is poverty.  The wretched misery and its companion, the overwhelming confusion, never stops visiting us, thus cultivating bitterness and hopelessness in our lives.  For me the ultimate answer was finding my life purpose. Finding...

Self assurance versus arrogance

In this day and age, many tend to not differenciate between the concepts of confidence and arrogance. Unfortunately, I have met many who had the whole world against them, continuously brainwashing them to see themselves as worthless pieces of shit, and when they showed a well earned success in  life, they were consequently labelled arrogant. The world was adamant about how these individuals should be kept humbled at all times.  Who were the ones really arrogant? Who were the ones really feeling worthless deep down to their cores? Why do you need to drag someone in the mud to feel worthy? When adults adopt these behaviours towards children, it makes my stomach churn! How pathetic!  Whenever someone tries to humble you because you need it(according their twisted and rotten minds), please, remember how lowly they think of themselves. This is a testament of their own value to their own eyes. They are trying to bring you down to their level.  Dear Divine Soul, remember yo...

Free and happy!

Be happy and be free! Finding contentment in the smallest things in life can bring tremendous happiness. Being grateful about being alive and breathing fresh air. Being grateful for the gift of sight and the colorful and astonishing palette of nature. To be able to be content with simplicity in itself is exhilarating to the heart. After having contemplated the prospect of a personalised expedited departure for so long, even being alive and able to feel joy in my heart is a miracle. To be absolutely sincere, dearest reader, I was so accustomed to experiencing sorrow that being serene and joyous feels deeply uncomfortable to me. I am constantly questioning meself:  "Is there something wrong with me? Oh no! I am just happy!"  My wish for you is contentment and happiness! Enjoy life with a zest!
