Get Out of the Rut

You have been walking for quite sometime on the same path. Now you find yourself at a crossroad: if you continue to behave as you have always done, i.e. reacting in the usual old way, getting upset when facing any problem -  judging others negatively, hiding your true motivations to others and to yourself - the quality of your life will never improve. You will remain stuck in the same old rut, in spite of your trying to change circumstances and people. Nothing will ever change, until YOU change.

Peace

Is peace actually possible?

What does "PEACE" really mean for you?

What do YOU do to create peace in yourself, in your life, in your environment, in society?

Are you actually doing anything?

Do you even believe that creating peace is YOUR responsibility, too?

Create a New World

Now you know that you can choose another direction so...dare to dance to a never-heard-before tune! You are able to start new behaviors, you can leave behind aggressiveness, jealousy, procrastination, indifference, fear. You can forget the rude words you may have been using towards others as well as towards yourself. If you follow the path that your inner self is suggesting, you will be able to actually create a new world. Fantasy? Try and you'll see.

Willing to Pay the Price?

I man who was considered "different" was consequently judged mostly negatively. Nevertheless, he remained faithful to himself and chose to carry on his existence according to his principles and beliefs. He had to face many challenges, but he never complained. When he was older, he said: "I lived the life I wanted to live, and I paid the price." Doesn't this make you think about your own life? About the way you are living it? About what you do about it? About your awareness or lack of awareness of the capability you have of changing what you need to change? Most of all, would you be ready to pay the price to achieve the freedom of choice you are secretly longing for?

Positive Examples

There have been people, men and women, whose strong passion and beliefs made them able to operate great transformations in their environment and, sometimes, in the whole world. If each of us could have half the passion, conviction, strength, will power, determination, courage that those people had, our own lives wouldn't be the same. Seeing the unstoppable faith, the strong belief in what they were pursuing - in spite of the many obstacles they necessarily had to face - can be taken as an example of what the human mind and will power can do.

Still on Knowledge

You are often deceived by the belief that you can acquire "knowledge" by means of a superficial study. If you decide to learn a foreign language, for example, and you only learn the expressions found in a tourist phrase-book, you'll be only able to order dinner or ask for directions to a museum, but you won't honestly believe that you know the language. The physics you studied in school won't make a scientist out of you or knowing how to float won't allow you to participate in a swimming competition. A superficial knowledge of anything doesn't make you a well learned scholar. The same happens when you "believe" you know your true nature without examining your behavior in depth. The greatness of your spirit is a universe that you can and should discover in order to live a more fulfilling life.

You Believe You Know...

You erroneously believe that you "know it all" about who you really are. But you don't. No one does.You (and everybody else!) are like a traveler who, because he studied the map of  the new city he is about to visit, believes he already knows the place. Actually, he knows nothing. He has only learned the names of streets and avenues marked on the map. As to your knowledge of yourself, you are in exactly the same situation: you believe you know who you are by simply taking notice of your feelings, actions and reactions.  Your true self is something different, something much "more". The visible surface hides a huge  array of treasures, talents, possibilities and LOVE you haven't the slightest idea about, of whose existence you are totally unaware. Do you believe it might be worth looking for them?
