About 2013

How can I start?! 2013 was a special year to me. During the past 10 years, I have experienced a lot, physically or emotionally, personally or career wise. But, in 2013, I literally experienced everything. It was like the sum of all experiences and feelings collected together. I had a loss, a great one, that I lost the interest of living. For the first time in my life, I was diagnosed as depressed! I experienced sickness, that I had to spend a lot of time lying and not able to move. For the first time in my life, I know how bad it feels to be sick and paralysed, weak and helpless. I was even in a relationship that let me learn a lot about myself, seems that what I've already known was not enough!

But, I can state it loudly, 2013 I am grateful to you! You are the year for determination for me. A lot of things were clear during this year. A lot of decisions were made. Roads were crossed. And, I started moving on to where I know I wanna be. I quit my career. I started a business. I got back to coaching studies.

Thank you 2013, I know you will be a remarkable year in my life that I will never forget.

And for 2014, you will be the year of harvest, I promise you. You are the start of the rest of my life, the coming years of happiness and joy.

A man of knowledge (The four natural enemies)

Sunday, April 15, 1962 As I was getting ready to leave, I decided to ask him once more about the enemies of a man of knowledge. I argued that I could not return for some time, and it would be a good idea to write down what he had to say and then think about it while I was away. He hesitated for a while, but then he began to talk. "When a man starts to learn, he is never clear about his objectives. His purpose is faulty; his intent is vague. He hopes for rewards that will never materialize, for he knows nothing of the hardships of learning. "He slowly begins to learn - bit by bit at first, then in big chunks. And his thoughts soon clash. What he learns is never what he pictured, or imagined, and so he begins to be afraid. Learning is never what one expects. Every step of learning is a new task, and the fear the man is experiencing begins to mount mercilessly, unyieldingly. His purpose becomes a battlefield. "And thus he has stumbled upon the first of his natural...

Living vs Waiting

Living: Living here is used as a generic word for “living the moment”. When someone is “living the moment” he feels alive, enjoying every moment, experiencing all the feelings and emotions he should in that special moment. He is totally present, feeling relaxed, and hopeful about his future. Waiting: As explained in Oxford dictionary; the action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or event: ‘years of waiting’ On the contrary to “living the moment”, when someone is in a waiting state, he is probably wasting his time and emotions, not experiencing the feelings he should experience in his present moment. Not being there, not understanding. Worried and anxious about what to come that he doesn’t notice the beauty of his current moment. Waiting involves: intolerance, anxiety, anticipation. When someone is in a waiting state he starts to believe things have taken so long to happen. And this involves doubt that he is in charge of his own l...

"Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast."

The Prophet ~ Khalil Gibran
