FF your heart

Hashtag-FF (#FF) is twitter-slang for Follow Friday and it's what tweeple use in their 140-character-messages to let their tweethearts know who to follow, on a Friday.

Well, today it's Monday and since #FM does not exist in Twitterland, I'll just keep the #FF.

#FF your heart.

Probably the easiest thing to say, yet a pretty tough thing to do. It does take courage to take time and listen, and to follow your heart. Especially when making important decisions. The conscious mind keeps on analyzing, while the unconscious tries to tell you otherwise. Thoughts and emotions are running through your head and can keep you up late at night too.

First, make peace with your emotions. Try not to define everything all at once. Take your time and tust your heart - it knows and it will guide you. Sometimes your heart is quite when you look for the answers. When the time is right, your heart will speak its answers. 

[Note to self] FF your heart. Also on other days.
 

 

Word du Jour: Appreciate

"There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life." ― Alexandre Dumas

Cadaques, Spain

Be a goal digger

That redic moment when you figure out that you passed B-I-O-S-T-A-T-I-S-T-I-C-S. 

Run all regressions!

He was beautiful

"He was beautiful, but not like those guys on tv. He was beautiful, for the way he thought. He was beautiful, for that sparkle in his eyes when he talked about something he loved. He was beautiful, for his ability to make other people smile even when he was sad.

No, he wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as his looks. He was beautiful, deep down his soul." - Unknown

Word du Jour: Positivity

A big part of happiness is deciding to be mindful. Like when you decide to notice white cars on the road and realize they are simply everywhere.

Good things are like that.

Being successful

So yesterday I was asked if I will become very successful in life. I got immediately confused, because what does being successful mean and how is it defined?

suc·cess·ful  

adj.

1. Having a favorable outcome:

2. Having obtained something desired or intended:

3. Having achieved wealth or eminence:

 

"A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path, not chasing after the dreams of others." - Ching-Ning Chu

As the blessed and grateful soul that I am, I must say that I actually already feel very successful in life. Not nessessarily money or careerwise - I don't own a house or a car, nor for example did I finish my masterstudy yet.
 

I think that if you live your life and your dream to its fullest potential. And if you are able to love unconditionally, accept but also appreciate all that comes to you. And that if you are your authentic self, and thus you help and inspire others... that is, in my opinion, when you are truly successful in life.

Because, you can own all the money, titles and fame in the world, but if you don't give back, you will always miss a piece to complete your successful puzzle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Word du Jour: Light

"No one lights a lamp in order to hide it behind the door.

The purpose of light is to create more light,

to open people's eyes,

to reveal the marvels around."

- Paulo Coelho

Word du Jour: Understand

 "The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions,
the more you become a lover of what is." - Spinoza
