A different Easter

lumanareI attended the Easter mass, at a small church located in a equally small village. Although I can’t say I’m much of a church goer, this time I went purely out of curiosity, to see what’s going on.

In order to skip most of the lengthy service, a few hours long, Continue reading

Is your age really your age? Think again!

Today, as I was aimlessly surfing the infinite news that Facebook chose for me to see, with nothing new in sight and hoping for a “1” colored in red to appear on the top of my screen, something happened.

I got a friend request!

“Wonderful”, I said to myself, feeling refreshed. As I approved the request, immediately I Continue reading

“I don’t even have time to masturbate anymore!”


I don't even have time to masturbate anymore!Those words came upon me like a bolt of lightning. It happened recently, last Sunday evening, as I was spending time with a few friends, discussing this and that.

And no, my blog isn’t about sexual issues – just in case you were wondering. Do you want it to be about sexual stuff? Just kidding. Seriously, do you? Kidding again. Let’s move on. 🙂 Continue reading

Getting ill – Good or Bad?


illnessYou may wonder: how can an illness be good?

And you may be curious to find out. Let me see if I can shed some light on your question.

The vast majority of us suffer from an illness of some sort. Be it something like allergies, obesity, constipation to more serious conditions, like diabetes, cancer or AIDS.

I have a vast history with illness, 20 years of suffering from a chronic gastro-intestinal disorder.

All those years of having it I kept wondering: “What is the cause of it?”

In my case, Continue reading

Does Education matter?


Most of the people I know only went to school for three reasons.education

First: because everybody does it and they don’t want to be at a disadvantage, second: it seems to be the normal thing to do, and third: because their future or present employer demands it.

It may be one more reason, and that is parents pushing them to do it, but that does not always apply.

Most of the great minds in our world’s history didn’t change the world because they went to school, but because Continue reading

The “power” of compromise


compromiseEarlier this year I had the most amazing experience while going to get my car repaired.

The car shop owner, a person who I know for about eight years, called me in his office to give me the estimate. He is a short fellow, not bad looking, age 39, with a bald spot, very energetic and a little overdressed for the business he is running.

Although I had known him for all this time, Continue reading

Being an actor in your own movie


Actor in your own movie

Actor in your own movie

Each one of us, at one moment in our life, has been a subordinate. Most of us still are, to this day. None of us likes it.

We all dream of being free to make decisions that are beneficial to us, instead of following instructions that, in most cases, are detrimental to our well-being.

We dream and dream, but fail to act.

Opportunities fly by each day, but we are so busy that most of the time we don’t even notice them.

And, when we do, we  Continue reading

Appearances


We live dual lives.

The real one and the one we want others to see.

The latter is meant to project an inflated image of ourselves so people can say: “Wow, your life is great!”. This is illustrated especially on social websites, where everybody likes to brag.

We post our absolute best pictures, our new car, the places we’ve visited, our loving relationship and so on.

However, in reality we may Continue reading

Distractions


Life is like a game of golf:

When someone distracts you when you’re about to take a swing, you might hit the ball the wrong way and send it to the trees instead of the green.

All golf players know that it takes time and energy to get the ball out of there.

Your life is basically the same: any distraction that gets your attention takes you away fromyour path, from what you want.

Actually, most people find it very challenging to concentrate on what they want without being distracted. It’s just a matter of time until they get off track, but, with a little work and dedication, it can be done, you can keep focused.

Imagine one day waking up in a good mood, Continue reading

The concepts of “Good” and “Bad”


I believe there is no darkness, only the absence of light.

I believe that there is no bad, no wrong. There is only a stream of wellness passing through everything and everyone. I call it “THE RIVER OF LIGHT”.

This river represents the vibrations you respond to, the things you love to do, the objects you like and the people you care about, and anything else that gives you a positive state of mind.

This river, although invisible, is visible to us all during our entire life.

Despite this, most of us, the overwhelming majority, choose to watch it from the banks, from a distance, while just a few choose to jump in and be one with themselves and the Universe.

That handful of people represents those who change the world. Because of them the world has evolved, because of the Einsteins, the Edisons and all those who chose to listen to their inner voice and feelings instead of acting upon the opinions of others and the patterns set by society.

I believe that “bad” is just a word we choose to represent the lack of good, “wrong” – the lack of right, “negative” – the lack of positive.

There really is no negative, bad and wrong.
