My experience of life has shifted radically when I started to question my thought patterns and when I started to pay attention to what I held as the truth in my mind. We often don´t realize how powerful we are and that we can choose our inner state of being. The day when you will have enough of the lies you believed, is the day when the old thought patterns will gradually let go of you and your true nature will be all that you are left with. I am going to share with you two false beliefs, which are holding your light back, and the truths they are…

The truth about who you are
Now is the time to release all the guilt, all the fear and all the shame we have held against ourselves. There is no one in this world, who would judge you more harshly than how you have been judging yourself. And if you feel the need to judge anyone, it is only a projection of some aspect of you that you see and judge in them. Every judgment is an act against your own true nature. The more you resist anything, the more it is going to persist, because the very thing you fear has to be brought to your experience in order for you to realize that there…

What does it mean to love yourself?
I thought I had this relationship with myself figured out and I didn´t see how I could possibly accept myself more. But then something didn´t go the way I expected and all of a sudden I found out that my head was full of thoughts like Life is not working out for me, Universe is testing me, God wants me to sacrifice for it, so I can prove I am worthy. I allowed these thoughts to pass and right beneath them was another layer of beliefs that supported the previous ones: I am not trying hard enough, I am going to ruin my life again, I do not deserve anything good,…

How to get where you want to be?
When I was a teenager, I used to sit in the garden in front of our house, during hot summer evenings, and I would look at the planes drawing white lines across the sky. Even now, when I´m writing these words, I can clearly remember that I wanted to sit on one of those planes and I wanted to fly somewhere far, far away. And where did I want to go? I definitely had some ideas in my mind but, basically, I thought that anywhere else would be better than where I was at that moment. I believed that all of my problems would disappear once I was gone and that my happiness was waiting for me someplace warm…

The most important promise? The one you make to yourself! On how keeping a promise to yourself will change your life.
Are you tired of life getting in your way? I can totally relate to that. You want to accomplish a dream or follow through on your goals, but then something happens and you´re right where you started. It seems like we are building sand castles and when a storm comes it simply blows everything down. Now, the question is: What is the foundation of our efforts? My life changed radically when I started to become aware of the fact that I so often failed to keep the promises I gave myself. Let´s look how our life can change when we start keeping promises we give ourselves: You´ll stop lying…

You´re not responsible for other people´s happiness: The art of minding your own business
One thing that happens to me often, is that I see someone living a life that I think I would be unhappy to live and I feel immediately sorry for them. I meet a grumpy server or an annoyed post office worker and I think that they have to be suffering because life hasn´t been fair to them. Other times, I assume people are unhappy because they do something I won´t be able to enjoy doing and I project my resistance onto them. When we pity someone, feel sorry for them or worry about them there is always one person suffering and it´s not necessarily them. People might be happy living a life you´d never live…

Stop chasing after what you want
Today´s title is probably going to contradict everything you´ve heard and believed about getting what you want so far. In this post I would like to provide you and me, even if for a little while, with a space to rest from all the things we´re striving so hard to achieve. Aren´t you tired of the race and the games we are playing with life and ourselves? I can honestly say that I am. Sometimes I persuade myself that I want something really bad and that I won´t be happy until I get it. I think I don´t have to provide you with details of how it goes every time…

How to stop the comparison game
How many times a day do you compare yourself to somebody else? We meet an old friend or see photos of people we follow on social media and we immediately go through a comparison list in our head: Her hair looks shinier but my style is definitely better… her kids go to a more renowned school, but mine are certainly better-behaved… ooh, she lives in such a beautiful house, I wish I lived there…and everything looks so organized and clean and she´s running her own business at the same time, I wonder when she makes time for all of that… maybe I should be trying harder, I´m probably just wasting…

Tell the truth and the truth will set you free
To tell the truth and nothing but the truth seems to be for most of us like an unattainable task. Sometimes you don´t want to hurt peoples´ feelings, so it´s easier to come up with a little lie instead. Other times even though you know the truth, you don´t want to hear it from others, because you´d have to admit that you were lying to yourself. It´s easier to go with “innocent” lies and live in the comfort of the stories we made up about ourselves and others. But, is it? Really? That´s what I´ve believed for a long time. I thought that sometimes you simply have to “enhance”…

How to stay focused on what matters in the world of chaos?
A few years ago, every morning when I woke up, I had this weird feeling that I am not in control of my life. There was nothing particular happening that I could be looking forward to, neither was there a feeling of sense or purpose which would inspire me. I thought I had to get through the day of random events and do whatever needs to be done that day in order to survive till the weekend. I believed I should do what was expected from me – I should go and study so I can get a job, get a house and wait for the last day, when…
