Mind, Heart & Soul

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 di...

Here, I will include all the photos that I wish to take someday. The list maybe updated later on. The list is not sorted according to anything! 1- Baby sea turtles running to the ocean. 2- Volcano 3- Northern lights 4- Lightning 5- Stonehenge 6- The Nile and its headwaters 7- Migrant birds in Peru ...to be continued.

Karma Saturday 28th of February I decided to take that step and make that call. I was planning to start the paper work for your adoption. In that call, I knew it, I can't give you that name! I can only give you a family name. What I felt in that moment was not good. I felt a strange kind of blockage, as if I don't want to do it. No, it is not that I don't want you, I don't want it! I hated that process, before I even start it!! The very first thing that came in my mind was the other option, adopting a Syrian girl. I know it sounds stupid, should I give up on the whole process for just that!! That night was not a good night!! Till, one thing happened, an old story, karma got me my right back, even if it took more than 6 years!! But, yes, that's what happens dear. This day I went to bed with faith. Faith that everything went wrong will turn right, and suddenly all my depression has gone away. I see the world from a different perspective now, I am so excited about m...

It is a fight between the mind and the soul. Your soul with its expanded unlimited world knows what's best for you. Your mind with its limited little experience believes it is not, because it looks impossible to it or because your society tells you "you can't do it". The right path is the path that makes you happy, no matter how hard it looks like. If you you are not feeling happy, then know for sure you are not taking the right path. Listen deeply to your soul, it knows the answer! Your soul is the connection between you and God. God talks to you through your soul. If you have no clue, don't think, ask for His help and listen!! Keep the faith and follow the instructions your soul tells you, with the very first step you take, you will feel the lightness of your heart. And, though you know what's coming ahead is not easy, you start feeling the true happiness. Happiness is not about the goals achieved, it is about walking the right path. It is about the ...

Just an idea came to my mind, people tend to lose hope cause they add the "when" parameter to the "what" they want to achieve or see; * They worry about the "when" more than the "what". * When they can't see the "when" they lose vision of the "what". * They think the "what" is impossible when the "when" is not given. If we think of anything we have achieved, or anything happened around the world, we will find out that no one ever knew when exactly he will be able to achieve his goal or get his change done. When Edison was trying to invent the bulb, he didn't know when exactly he will see it working in front of his eyes. When you applied for university, you didn't have knowledge when you would graduate, yes, you knew it should take 4 years or so, but, were you so sure this is the time it would take to graduate? You could get sick and miss some exams, and lose a year. You could face trouble ...

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...
