This time I would like to talk about the expectations you hold for yourself. We have thousands of expectations of how the world should or shouldn´t be, but what is causing us the most pain are the expectations we think we should fulfill. There is nothing more beautiful than believing you are capable of anything and then letting yourself go into the direction of your desire. However, there is a shadow aspect of the hope we have for ourselves. To be more accurate, I am not even talking about your hopes for yourself, I am talking about the beliefs you have picked up along the way and that you now…

Tune into your inner wisdom
We go through life learning, looking for answers and trying to find the ultimate source of wisdom or a magic spell that would give us the key to every question that we are ever going to have. The education system teaches us to look for answers outside of ourselves in books, teachers, and other authorities. Almost no one teaches us the importance of unlearning what no longer serves us. One of the most important things that we will ever do is letting go of the idea of who we think we are supposed to be, and embracing who we were all along beneath the artificial layers of obsolete knowledge that…

You don´t need to be positive to be free
Did you ever think about the way we think? It may sound strange, but let me explain.

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…

The process of building your strenght
You went through all your challenges and you arrived at the other side with more grace and with a new perspective. The challenging moments cleared your sight and the wisdom that you realized is within you, showed you how the loving consciousness sees you in comparison with how you see yourself. Where you thought that you were weak, love showed you your strength. When you forgot your own worth, your heart reminded you that you can´t pretend not to see your value anymore, because people in your life will always follow the example you give them. When you thought that you were dependent on someone else´s mercy, love showed you…
