Every single one of us desires a life filled with joy and happiness and I think that this desire inherent to each of us connects us on a deeper level as human beings. However, where we differ are the ways through which we are looking for happiness and joy. I believe that in order to find true joy and meaning we, eventually, have to turn inward first and foremost and find the connection to our true Self – to our heart – because without this connection we will be always looking for the next thing to make us happy without realizing that what we carry within us has the power…

Love does not always look like a “yes”
Even though life would seem easier, if everything we set our mind and heart to was accomplished right away with no detours, no unexpected events and with no unnecessary obstacles, it would also fail to serve its purpose.

We end up feeling like we have to stay busy all the time, otherwise we would be missing out on various opportunities. It sometimes feels like the well-intended messages, which were meant to inspire us to discover what we are capable of, don´t leave enough space for us to accept who we are right now. Our need to achieve perfection doesn´t stem from love at all. When you love yourself you are deliberately willing to change those aspects of your beliefs and behavior that are detrimental to…
