Teenage Wisdom

Thought It will take me longer to start writing again, but, what's happening in my life these days needs reflection! All my posts here were a way I reflected on my life and incidents to get more understanding and awareness about myself. Sharing these thoughts maybe they could inspire others who need inspiration. 

Twenty years ago, I had my special beliefs about mysef. Beliefs about what suits me best, and how I shoud live my life. Those beliefs were too odd that they brought doubt in me. For the past twenty years I have been trying so hard to fit in the "even" society. And what happened is that I spent those years feeling lost and confused. I have lost a lot during those years. Disregarding that I am twenty years older, my health is not as it used to be. I look older, with few wrinkles aroud my eyes. It took a broken heart to reach that point I am claiming now.

During the past couple of weeks I have been feeling a storm of change, and deep inside it felt the same as it did ten years ago, when I had to take a decision that I had been postponing for too long. A decision that neededs a leap of faith. Though I take those leaps maybe once a year, some of them need real strength, and a lot of calculations.

The funny thing is that a couple of years ago, I started to go back to my old beliefs, one by one, and I found out that they started to surface again. I am just back there, this is the true me. Before, I believed that I can't be married to an egyptian, now I am sure I can't!  Before, I had a fascination about Denmarks, and that it would be the best place on earth "for me" to live in. Now, again I am back to those exact feelings and beliefs. And the list goes on!

The lesson I learned, wasting the 20 years of my youth, is that I should have followed my heart from the start. I should have faught for a life in Denmarks, find the man who is strong enough to handle me, love me with all my madness, respect my beliefs and my wild heart. Follow my passions. Study psychology. Help as much people as I can...What I tell myself now is that it is never too late, I already started following my heart, but when you get older it becomes harder as your opportunities are not much.

Never try to fit in. Be yourself. Fly! 😊

My dream trips :)

I decided to write down my dream trips, since I add more to that every now and then, I'm afraid I will forget something. I really wish to do those trips before I die :). I won't sort them.

What a WONDERFUL world!

On Tuesday, February 3, 2009 Send love, receive love!! This is what I experienced this year. As everyone knows, today happened to be my birthday! And, for my surprise, I got the highest number of birthday wishes ever!! I even got wishes form someones that I never expected they will!! The thing, that NEVER happened before! NO words can tell how happy I felt for those wishes. YOU all made my day :)) Though, I was wondering, why this year specially, what happened, what is the change?!! I kept wondering. Before, yes, I always loved everyone around me, never hated anyone. I know, I was too busy before with the much trouble I lived in. Maybe I didn't have much time to turn to people around me. I know this year was different, I started to concentrate more on people. But, still I don't believe this is the reason why. Later on, after a lot of thinking and wondering and remembering, I remembered that in the past few days, while attending a course for PHE, we did some exercise, an ex...

The easy path or the right path?

We are frequently challenged in life, life would ask a question and throw many answers from which we have to choose only one. By human nature, we tend to choose the easiest answer, which is unfortunately the wrong answer. You were challenged in the first place to grow, to learn something new about life or about yourself. It is a chance that life offers you to mature, to become a better version of you. Choosing the "easy" answer, or path won't take you anywhere. You will only keep running in spirals and you will have to face the same question again. When life throws a challenge in your way, take your time, think, find which of them makes you most uncomfortable. That is the right answer...the right path. All you need to do then is take the "leap of faith"...and before you know it all your fear will be gone, and everything becomes under control. Never let fear choose for you!
"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."
