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. I usually imagine life as a playground where we are given an opportunity to express what was stored within our being – within our heart – and what is invisible to human eyes unless it is expressed in form, words, actions, creations, and relationships.

How to stop resenting others
Recently, I was thinking about the notion of so called “toxic relationships” and whether using this term is helpful or not. Honestly, I think that every relationship is what we created it to be and the only toxic thing about our interactions with other human beings are the fearful thought patterns that we are stuck with until we become aware of them. It is certainly easier to blame other people for the ways they treat us, however, that is not where our true power lies. I tried it many times and believe me, blaming and judging is only going to keep you blind to the prejudice and uncomfortable feelings you…

Love or attachment?
In order to sink into peace you have to be willing to let go of every belief you thought was you, even though it was hurting when you believed it to be true, and listen to the wisdom of your heart to reveal each and every loveless stunt that you tried to impose upon your mind...
