I don’t believe in coincidences. I think that things happen the way that they are supposed to. When you really look at and evaluate every experience you’ve had, it’s a direct result of your actions and thoughts.
Don’t fight or wish away unexpected occurrences. In time, and in its own way, it will prove to better your life in some way. I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.
Don’t strive for perfection, instead strive for experience, for learning new things and stepping outside of your comfort zone.
Each wrong turn has brought you closer to where you are now. Every mistake has given the you knowledge you have now.
Challenge yourself, just give life a go, leave this unrealistic idea of perfection behind and accept that some chapters in your life are there to get you to the next one.
Some people in your life are there to bring you to others. The next chapter is worth making a few mistakes for, the next chapter will take you closer to where you need to be.
Even if the current circumstances in your life make you question how you’ll ever get to where you want to be, you have to understand that everything you are currently experiencing or have experienced has a PURPOSE. Because those previous steps BROUGHT you to where you are today, MOLDING you into the person that you are.
But remember: There are still so many moments to experience that will bring you joy and CLOSER to your DESTINY. More laughs, more books to read, more people to meet, more risks, more love, more pictures to take, more places to see and more food to taste.
Once you BELIEVE you’re worthy of having MORE, you’ll realize you have the POWER within you to BRING those things to life.
You still have time to live the life you’ve always imagined. KEEP GOING.
Don’t let your life go by unnoticed. Life is made of moments full of beauty and magic, waiting for us to notice. You must not let the distractions and busyness keep you from experiencing everything this beautiful life has to offer. Get out into nature, slow it all down. Watch more sunrises with the only intent of watching the sun gloriously rise. Look at your partner’s face deeply and tenderly, with the only intent of truly seeing them.
When life feels like it’s spinning around you and you can’t catch up, return to the beautiful moment of now, where everything is exactly as it should be. Notice your breathing, notice where you are tense. Release. Breathe. Feel. Notice. (Not my words.)
Taking control of your thoughts is not always easy, it takes strength. But, just like anyone can become physically strong, anyone can become mentally strong through effort and practice. At first, taking control of your thoughts may feel difficult, but it’ll begin to feel natural with practice.
As your journey, you will find the practice of taking control of your thoughts and fixing your mind on goodness, abundance, and hope to be an integral part of experiencing the fulfillment of dreams.
Because, we live in our thoughts. And while we cannot always hand-pick our experiences and the circumstances we encounter, we can shape our circumstances to benefit us with our thoughts. so, get to it. Give your best. Work hard and let your purpose drive you to take control of your thoughts and move with joy. TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHTS.
What does your heart desire? Imagine it. Say it out loud.
Too often, we keep ourselves from experiencing the grandness that life has for us because we believe the narrative that certain experiences or success is unattainable for us. For others, we take on the belief system that it’s wrong to have desire or dream big daring dreams. But, in reality neither of those things are true.
Keep asking yourself “WHAT DO YOU WANT?”. Desire isn’t something selfish or prideful, rather, it’s something beautiful that we have been given by the almighty.

You’re not the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or a week ago. You’re always growing. Experiences don’t stop. That’s life. And the very experiences that seem so hard when you’re going through them are the ones you’ll look back on with gratitude for how far you’ve come.
Don’t let anyone invalidate or minimize how you feel. If you feel something, you feel it and it’s real to you. Nothing anyone says has the power to invalidate that, ever. No one else lives in your body. No one else sees life through your eyes. No one else has lived through your experiences.
And so, no one else has the right to dictate or judge how you feel. Your feelings are important and you deserve to be heard. They are inherently valid and they matter. Don’t let anyone make you believe otherwise.
When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.
Yet, if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience.
No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change. (Not my words.)
Instead of feeling like you’re behind, feel grateful for any setbacks you’ve had in your life and each lesson you have learned along the way. Be grateful for each relationship and what you were able to learn about yourself through falling in and out of love. Feel proud of how strong you have become from each time you were left to put the pieces of your broken heart back together. Be grateful that you learned that you will heal again no matter what you go through.
You should be proud that you learned how to recognize and move on from situations that are no longer good for you. You might feel like you are behind, but when you really think about it, everything you have been through has made you the person you are now. Your experience is your strength, and you shouldn’t wish to change that for anything.
Forgive yourself for the bad decisions, for the times you lacked understanding, for the choices that hurt others and yourself. Forgive yourself for being young and reckless. These experiences are vital lessons. And what matters most right now is your willingness to grow from them.
Our power lies not in becoming someone else, but in unfolding/revealing to the world who we have been created to be. You don’t need to be something else, something different or someone different. Who you are is perfect.
So, give yourself permission to unfold, stripping down to the rawest and most authentic version of yourself, and seeing it as brilliant and valuable.
As you do, you’ll begin to see yourself living freely and glowing with light, allowing you to experience the greatness you were destined for.
If youve never tasted a bad apple, you will not appreciate a good apple. You have to experience life to understand life. You have to endure disappointment in life, all kind of disappointments, you have to fall flat on your face and feel the pain. Accept that a lot of your “friends” rather see you fall and fail. That’s why we say “Jealousy is bad incurable disease”. It’s hard to accept and it has a bitter taste, but thats life my friend.
At the end, don’t give up. Don’t give up because, success is inevitable. We have to fall before we find out who we really are and what we are capable of.
1. Become more observant. Notice everything that surrounds you. The world is full of examples, ideas, words, wisdom, mistakes and experiences.
2. Collect ideas. Ideas and thoughts tend to evaporate from your mind too fast. Try to capture them before it is too late. Ideally, write down or sketch every single one.
3. Read. Read a lot. Reading is probably the best investment of time ever. Devote at least 30 minutes per day to reading. Ideally, have a book always with you.
4. Analyze your day. Before going to bed, spend 10 minutes analyzing your day. Consider what things you managed to do well and what mistakes you made.
5. Start writing. The biggest value of a good writing skill is that it cultivates a discipline. First of all, the discipline of thinking. Your thoughts will cease to be random and chaotic. They will gradually become systematic and structured instead.
I am slowly learning how to just be in this moment. How to survive. How to exist. How to live. How to thrive. How to understand that I cannot control life. How to understand that I can only experience life in both it’s light and it’s dark stages. I am slowly learning how to laugh and cry and feel through it all. I am learning how to welcome the confusion and the joy that come with loving and living and breaking.
I am slowly learning how to accept where I am. I am slowly learning how to simply believe in what I am becoming. I am becoming a better version of myself, and that journey is just AMAZING.
We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here how long. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don’t complain. Don’t focus on what’s wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.
Forgive yourself for the bad decisions, for the times you lacked understanding, for the choices that hurt others and yourself, for being young and reckless.
These experiences are vital lessons. And what matters most right now is your willingness to learn & grow from them.
• These hard times, this pain, these lessons; one day they’ll be your strength, your awareness, your blessings.
• Stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves.
• You’ll never look good trying to make someone look bad.
• Save your explanations for those that are determined to understand you.
• Give your silence to those that are determined to misunderstand you.
• Your life is too short to be unhappy. 5 days a week in exchange for 2 days of freedom; that’s not how you are supposed to live your life. Live & experience life everyday.
• Don’t be upset from people you don’t respect.
• Life is not tiring. Wanting life to be a certain way but not having the confidence to make it that way, is tiring.
As children, we were daring in our imagination; nothing was impossible to us as young dreamers. We dreamt of experiencing wild and outlandish experiences in far-off lands. We dreamt of becoming victorious heroes, genius inventors, and admired artists. We dreamt of sharing a whimsical love story that left us breathless. We dreamt of having a big home filled with family and friends tucked away in the forest or on top of a city sky rise.
There was nothing that our little minds didn’t imagine. Our imagination was fearless.
However, for many, as life played out, when something didn’t work out the way we planned or envisioned, we took those unmet expectations as the sign to stop believing and give up on imagining the wild. We took it as a token that everyone else was right; our imaginations were lofty. Little by little, many of us trained ourselves not to trust that “anything can happen”. We allowed time, experiences, circumstances, and people’s opinions to jade us.
Each one of us has the capacity to experience deep joy, but it sometimes takes work. If you’ve been feeling down, take a look at the kinds of thoughts you’ve been having. Maybe even write them down just so you can really see the way you currently view life. If you find that your thoughts are more negative than positive, you have to make a conscious effort to start changing them.
Make a list of all your negative thoughts and then write out the opposite thought for each one. Stand in front of the mirror and read the positive thoughts out loud to yourself.
Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are; it solely relies on what you think. -BUDDHA.

(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Know little bit about history of foods. Especially my favourite foods caesar salad & cheesecake have amazing history. And i must thank Americans for making almost every food unhealthier & shitter.)
Keep the honest moments close to your heart. Especially the ones that are the most human. When you laugh until your ribs ache with your friends, when you feel stars exploding inside of you from falling in love, when life breaks you open and those tears of transformation pour like a river from your soul. Life is really quite simple. We get to experience this planet for a brief while. We get to learn how to love ourselves and one another for the strange, messy, and magical creatures we are. What a gift it is to have a human life.
If you look a little closer, there is always something to be grateful for. True GRATITUDE isn’t ignoring the darkness. It’s participating with your whole heart in whatever moment life brings. It’s leaning into the unfolding process and having the courage to not need all of the answers. (Not my words.)
Life is precious, and it’s what you do with it that keeps you alive on the inside. It’s not enough just to live and take that gift for granted. Each one of us has fears, but the more we work to overcome them, the more we are able to enjoy our lives. Fear varies by perspective or experience. The thing is, if you’re living your life in fear, then you’re just not living.
I believe that life is a prize. But to live doesn’t mean you’re alive. Try to face one of your fears today.
There’s a difference between hanging on to the past and learning from it. What’s done is done, and I realized it’s important not to dwell because I can’t change what’s already happened. But at the same time I want to be mindful of the past and learn from my mistakes and my successes in life. The future excites me too, but at the end of the day, all we have is this moment now and we must cherish and love it.
Make a conscious effort to live in the present today. When you catch yourself obsessing over the past or worrying about the future just remember to be right now.
Learn from the past and share your experiences with others. Cherish the present and look forward to the future.
If we believe there is no magic in life, then we’ll never experience it. If we believe the miraculous is not real, then we’ll never accept it when we see it. If we believe that we’re limited in what we can do, accomplish, and become, then we’ll always live within the confines of our imagination.
However, the opposite is also true. If we believe in magic, we’ll experience it around every corner. If we believe in the miraculous, then we’ll train ourselves to see and be thankful for the little miracles that unfold each day. If we believe that we are limitless, then we’ll see anything we imagine is possible.
The beliefs that we hold onto influence our lives significantly, determining how our story unfolds.
If we want to see success in our lives, we must intentionally work towards what we’re purposed to do. We cannot get distracted by anything outside of our purpose or compromise our creativity, vision, or convictions because we believe that we’ll obtain more success or get more recognition or praise through our change in direction. It doesn’t work like that. Because, success is connected to purpose, not trends of popularity. One of the definitions of success is “the accomplishment of one’s goals”.
We have to keep OUR GOALS in front of us, not someone else’s. So, stay on track. Believe in yourself and your purpose.
Trust that as you stay faithful to what you know you ought to be doing, you will experience astronomical success that will leave you with a sense of fulfillment and will impact the world around you.
Eat better. Run more. Squat more. Sleep earlier. Wake up earlier. Make a good breakfast. Drink water. Eat healthy. Read books. Adventure. Talk sense. Listen more. Feel deeper. Love better. Open your eyes. Experience life. Remain consistent. Be happy. BE YOU.
Forgive yourself for the bad decisions, for the times you lacked understanding, for the choices that hurt others and yourself,
Forgive yourself for being young and reckless. These experiences are vital lessons. And what matters most right now is your willingness to grow from them.
We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don’t complain. Don’t focus on what’s wrong. Don’t retaliate to negative people. Don’t react to negativity in general. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day. Be an authentic version of yourself shamelessly.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Watch the economic story of UK, which is gonna get even more worse with time. Thanks to conservative dummies.

Make each day your own beautiful work of art. Take time to do things that inspire you before you get started with your day. Take a walk outside to simply be with the sun as it rises; let its boundless glow inspire you and fill you with warmth. Read a few pages of a book that fills you with light. Hug your loved ones or play with your puppy for a few extra minutes. And as you go about your day, remember that there is magic all around you even if some days it’s harder to find.
At the end of your day, take a moment as you rest your head on your pillow to find gratitude for all the wonderful things you experienced and created throughout your day. Because even if this day wasn’t extraordinary, even if this day was an average one, it played a part in your beautiful life, and that’s something to be wonderfully grateful for.
Every experience, both the good and the bad, will eventually get you to where you are supposed to be. Every win, every loss and every mistake. Don’t be afraid to fuck up and don’t expect success overnight. Get lost, get so lost and find yourself over and over again. Work hard and don’t stop until you make yourself proud.
This is your life. You’re allowed to change your mind. To change your heart. You’re allowed to be a different person. To wake up one day and not want to do the things you’ve been doing all your life. You’re allowed to love who you want. To move on from the people who are not good to you. To let go of anyone without any kind of explanation. Without any kind of regret. You’re allowed to make mistakes. To learn from them. Or not to learn from them and experience everything all over again. You’re allowed to forget your past if you want to. Or to stay in it but you must also understand that this is not how you will grow. You’re allowed to change careers. To dress differently. To chase different dreams. To change locations, even if, at first, you’re terrified to do so. You’re allowed to dislike yourself but also allowed to change those same parts you don’t see eye to eye with. To work on them until you’re completely comfortable with who you are.
This is your life. Make it count. Make your own validation. Your own path. Your own way of life. You are enough. And you are not broken. You’re a lot stronger than you want to believe. Now breathe. (Not my words.)

Everyone has a story to tell, a lesson to teach, and wisdom to share. Life is a beautiful masterpiece bound together by your experiences. Open up and share your story; become an inspiration to others.
You can make a difference because you matter. You were created with purpose. Live your life with good intention, go out there and make a difference by being the difference.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Big fan of Key & Peele, also a big fan of Neil deGrasse Tyson. Watch it for fun & you will definitely gain some knowledge about parallel universe.)
When you feel like what you are experiencing is not enough, instead of allowing yourself to get frustrated, anxious, discourage, or disappointed, choose to channel in a spirit of thankfulness.
Find something to be thankful for and begin to express gratitude. Because, no matter what is going on in your world, there’s plenty to be grateful for.
You have blood pumping through your veins. You have air flowing through your lungs. You have a roof over your head and food on your table. You have creativity that cannot be taken away and an undeniable purpose.

Be a walking contradiction. Be strong and soft. Be deep and lighthearted. Be beautiful and intelligent. Be confident and humble. Be someone with a quick wit and a cheap sense of humor. Be content climbing a mountain and enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing.
The world may try and classify you as one thing because that is far easier to understand than a person who has a little bit everything in them. And you may feel misunderstood for a while, but just remember your people can only find you if you’re brave enough to be yourself. There are parts of you that you have yet to discover. There is greater love that you have yet to find. There are experiences that are far beyond your imagination. And it’s all waiting for you. Life is waiting for you. So set aside your expectations and go explore it.

Don’t be so hard on yourself for feeling lost, confused or like you haven’t achieved all that you wanted to achieve. Life would be pretty damn boring if you’d done it all already, if you had no more room to grow or things to learn. Be patient. You’ll eventually figure it all out and everything will make perfect sense. Every experience will get you to where you are supposed to be. Every win, every loss, every heartbreak and every mistake. Don’t be afraid to fuck up, and don’t expect success overnight. Get lost, get so damn lost and find yourself over and over again. Believe in yourself, forget about what others think. Don’t stop until you make yourself proud. LIFE IS FUN, LET IT BE.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Little bit of fun & sass is important in life. Watch this 5 minutes of legit fun. Adam W, i don’t have to say more.)
If you start living for the smallest reasons, that’s when you know you’re really living, the smell of rain after a thunderstorm, the shades of pavements when it’s autumn, the harvest season and the unspoken competition to pick the freshest tomatoes, the mediocre midnights and the color of the sunsets, the smell of bakeries early in the morning, the frosty breeze of the fast-approaching winter, the warmth of oven when baking christmas cookies, the thickness of paper when flipping through magazine pages, the smell of new books and new clothes and new things.
When you start looking at things, really really looking, you’ll start living. Because then you’ll understand how it is to really be a HUMAN in this world full of people.
LEARN TO BE A HUMAN. APPRECIATE & LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOURSELF.
If you are intentional about practicing thankfulness every day, you will see the magic begin to take place in your life. You are going to see doors open that you didn’t think were possible. You are going to see opportunities come and find you that you didn’t know existed. And, you’re going to see your influence expand like never before.
Your thankfulness will position you in just the right place to be the recipient of extravagant grace, faithfulness, and goodness. Stay thankful. Practice gratitude. On the good days and the lows days, stay thankful. Everything in the created world is shifting in your favor. YOUR BEST DAYS ARE STILL AHEAD OF YOU.
The point of change isn’t to make yourself happy. The point of change is to grow, to show up for yourself, to express yourself, to be an example of what’s possible, to test the limits, to have new experiences. You can be happy and grateful for where you are and still choose to change everything, just because you want to.
There were times in life when I let myself get completely consumed with jealousy for someone else’s life, their body, their wardrobe, their talent. It’s a common emotion to experience. They call it the green eyed monster for a reason. It’s self-destructive and when it’s in the room, it consumes you. Be strong and don’t focus on what other people have.
Release any jealousy you have for someone else’s life and allow yourself to feel deep gratitude that you are living your own life. Don’t torment yourself with jealousy. It’s a silly illusion that someone’s life is better than yours when the truth is that each one of us is on a different unique beautiful path.
Your AMBITION should be to get as much life out of living as you possibly can, as much enjoyment, as much interest, as as much experience, as much understanding. And not to simply be what is generally called a “SUCCESS”.
This is your life. You have everything you need inside you to live the life you have always dreamed of. Take all that you have learned and experienced and create your own reality. The beautiful part about life is that if you don’t like where you are, there’s always a new moment and a new day to start again.
Make smart, educated decisions. Encourage yourself to make the choices today for the future you want tomorrow. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. (Not my words.)
Stop overthinking and replaying episodes from your past you are not happy about. Realize that everything happens for a reason. It served its purpose. It made you better. Only through experience we can truly feel and understand the contrast of what is good and what is not, what we want and what we don’t want.
Experiences teaches us most valuable lessons. It helps us grow, love ourselves and have empathy towards others. Be grateful for your experiences, but move forward. Embrace the new & remain consistent in your walk of life. (Not my words.)
How many times have we done something “wrong” and then regretted it later? As long as we learn something from it, the experience is not wasted. We aren’t perfect. We are here to learn from our mistakes and imperfections, not beat ourselves up for them.
Think about how to alter your regrets into lessons for the future. Nobody is perfect. As long as we continue to strive to be better, our imperfections are part of our journey.
We deserve to experience all forms of love. The people who act the most hateful and unworthy of being loved are the ones who were deprived of it growing up. It’s up to each and everyone of us to make sure we are giving those around us as much love as we are giving ourselves. The people who seem hateful and toxic are not necessarily people you should spend time with, but at the very least send them your positive thoughts before you bid a bye.
Be grateful that you are able to feel, experience, give, and receive love. It is such a blessing. No one deserves anything less than being loved.
I know that everybody worries about what’s coming next, but in my experience it doesn’t do any good. It just makes you more stressed out and usually you’re just worrying about things that may never even happen. Today and this moment is all we have, so stay present and focused and count your blessings for today and trust that the rest will fall into place.
Count your blessings today. No need to worry about tomorrow, when we’ve been blessed with today. (Not my words.)
If we want to see success in our lives, we must intentionally work towards what we’re purposed to do. We cannot get distracted by anything outside of our purpose or compromise our creativity, vision, or convictions because we believe that we’ll obtain more success or get more recognition or praise through our change in direction.
It doesn’t work like that. Because success is connected to purpose, not trends of popularity.
One of the definitions of success is “the accomplishment of one’s goals”. We have to keep OUR GOALS in front of us, not someone else’s. So, stay on track. Believe in yourself and your purpose. Trust that as you stay faithful to what you know you ought to be doing, you will experience astronomical success that will leave you with a sense of fulfillment and will impact the world around you. (Not my words.)
If we believe there is no magic in life, then we’ll never experience it. If we believe the miraculous is not real, then we’ll never accept it when we see it. If we believe that we’re limited in what we can do, accomplish, and become, then we’ll always live within the confines of our imagination.
However, the opposite is also true. If we believe in magic, we’ll experience it around every corner. If we believe in the miraculous, then we’ll train ourselves to see and be thankful for the little miracles that unfold each day. If we believe that we are limitless, then we’ll see anything we imagine is possible.
The beliefs that we hold onto influence our lives significantly, determining how our story unfolds. WHAT WE BELIEVE IS WHAT WE WILL EXPERIENCE.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Not sure whether birds aren’t real, but i bet DUMBFUCKS ARE REAL. SORRY to say, these are the signs humanity is moving towards extinction soon or sooner.)
Your life will pass one way or another. The events that will unfold are the events that will unfold. You will meet amazing people who you are meant to. You will find the opportunities you need. You will desire what you want. The choice is not what you experience, but how. How is everything. How is golden. How closes doors and it opens them. How creates something out of nothing.
It is not the years we live, but HOW we live them. It is not who we cross paths with, but how we love them & appreciate them. It is not what we are given or not, but how we take what’s in front of us and turn it into all we ever needed it to be. It is how we experience life, day in and day out, in the quietest moments and biggest ways. The HOW is the way.
Every difficult situation I’ve experienced has ultimately changed me for the better. I’ve grown stronger as a human being and I have been able to advocate for others who are still struggling to be heard. I can’t tell you what a privilege and honor it is for me to use my own pain to help people find strength and hopefully prevent unneeded suffering for many others. These positive rays of light were only able to come through the darkness because I allowed them to, because I was open to them, and because I didn’t dwell on my past or my pain. I simply honored it.
Find something positive about a struggle you’re facing and share it with someone who’s struggling. They’ll know something better is coming to them too. There is always an opportunity to turn a negative situation into a positive one as long as you are open to the possibility. (Not my words.)
I’ve been so blessed to be able to travel so much over these last few years. One of the most profound things I witnessed while traveling was seeing how much we take for granted. I’ve seen slums where people are walking around without shoes or jackets in the freezing cold. I’ve been to places where people are working so hard at such physically demanding jobs while making hardly any money. It taught me to value every person on this planet and to not take my job for granted, to not take my life for granted, to never take the joy i experience for granted.
Stay open to anything and take a day (or week) seeing a new part of the world. If you can’t afford to take time off work then visit a new neighborhood in your own town. One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. Be grateful for everything you have. (Not my words.)
Each one of us has the capacity to experience deep joy, but it sometimes takes work. If you’ve been feeling down, take a look at the kinds of thoughts you’ve been having. Maybe even write them down just so you can really see the way you currently view life. If you find that your thoughts are more negative than positive, you have to make a conscious effort to start changing them.
Make a list of all your negative thoughts and then write out the opposite thought for each one. Stand in front of the mirror and read the positive thoughts out loud to yourself.
Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are; it solely relies on what you think.
We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don’t complain. Don’t focus on what’s right or wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.
It’s been 5 years & i am always in a different city/country at this time of the year. I met some amazing people & lost touch with few. Most of them helped me shape & build what i am today. I can’t change everything & i accept what’s coming wholeheartedly. At the end i must agree, life is beautiful & i am grateful.
Relationships between family, friends, significant others, and colleagues are complicated and full of learning experiences. Nobody comes into this world knowing everything. We all go through different experiences, make mistakes, have successes, and then make more mistakes that we can learn from. The ability to trust and listen to the people in your life is the foundation all healthy relationships are built on.
While talking to friends, make sure you are really listening to what they have to say and aren’t distracted by something else. You owe that to them and you would want the same in return. Trust is a bond between two people that is found only when they are able to listen and understand where the other person is coming from. That to me is the only key to friendships and relationships.
It is important to know who you are, what you stand for and how you want to see yourself. You have your whole life for you, and you determine what you do with it and how you will experience your journey. There is no one who can tell you who you are, because you decide for yourself. You make your own choices, you choose your own direction and you determine your own steps.
Think about who you are, think about how you position yourself against others. Think of your qualities and your intentions. See yourself as the person you want to be, without thinking about your status, your score, your ability or the people around you. Nothing or nobody should affect who you are as a person, who you are in terms of thinking, who you are in your actions. The life you have for you is your chance to follow your dreams, to discover, to develop and to enjoy yourself. Imagine a life in which you are completely yourself, in which you fulfill your dreams. Live your life. Life is fun, let it be.
It’s so easy to walk by people and make judgments about who they are based on some small passing detail or flaw that you’ve observed. Maybe their attitude appears to be rude. Maybe they aren’t as outgoing as you are. Either way, without taking the time to actually get to know someone and hear what they’ve been through, you really have no right to judge anyone. The things we observe superficially are just that; they are false impressions that don’t tell you anything about what others have actually experienced.
Take the time to really get to know people. Ask them what their story is, and be a good listener. Sometimes the nicest people you come across are busy building life while being little carefree soaking the sunshine, and the judgmental ones go to church on sundays. Never judge a book by its cover.
In a generation of people who want to be heartless, and empty of feelings, then call it SAVAGE, it’ll be hard to be someone who is what a HUMAN should be. Do not become like the world.
Be loyal, be truthful, be consistent, be emotional, and be full of feelings. Be hungry for love, be thirsty for affection, and anything else human beings ought to desire. With time moving up, you will experience people who match your energy, enthusiasm & optimism.
Let others be foolish and cold. Don’t dim your light to become as dark as they are.
(This Instagram post got nothing to do with the post above. My love for G-Shock watches goes back to A-level/high school days. Not a secret i am a huge sneakerhead, but i love watches too. YES I have some 46 watches right now, 7 are Casio G-shock watches. And when my bestie DEMI sees this at evening, she can guess what to gift me during thanksgiving dinner.)😜
When I give, it does not come with strings. I’m not keeping track of what you owe me. When I give, I choose to do so without ulterior motives. I give because I’m genuine. I give because I know what it’s like to be without. To long for and be ignored. To speak and not be heard. To care for and have nothing returned. When I give it’s because I get it. It’s because I know the value in what I have in my heart and I refuse to let the world stop me from sharing that. But when things start being taken for granted, When you no longer appreciate my sincerity, I won’t switch, I won’t get angry, and I won’t be spiteful. I’ll just get smart and I’ll change your role in my life. Because when I give, I’m all in. But when I’m done, there’s no looking back.
I stopped sending paragraphs. I stopped telling people how to behave. I stopped entertaining retaliation & inconsistency. I stopped telling people how important is communication. I started walking away from all these crap, blocking, and distancing myself. Life is becoming peaceful. Sometimes being yourself & independent in life is better than being surrounded by halfass people.
(This post is not for those who came & vanished in past. It’s for my future person, in case you experience something is odd in me or missing in me, just say it and keep forgiving me till you experience the best of me.)
Mama said; “You never need to be religious. Religious people believe bit too much in god, angel, heaven, hell & demons. And that’s low-key toxic in 2021. But you must believe in KARMA, you will get what you give. Karma is real. The nature of our world is based on EQUILIBRIUM. Good intentions & kind acts will always be rewarded, even GOD’s existence depends on that goodness. Karma & Kindness go hand in hand. This tiny bit of knowledge is SPIRITUAL, not religious. Become little spiritual with time“.
My takeaway from this is; YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO DISRESPECT PEOPLE. YOU CANNOT TREAT PEOPLE LIKE GARBAGE AND WORSHIP GOD AT THE SAME TIME. THAT’S BOTH DOUBLE STANDARDS & FAKEFUCKERY. Be truthful & real. If you have little time to make someone smile, do it. Buy a loaf of bread for a homeless person or crack a dick joke to a sad friend, both will help you score some good Karma for your trip to heaven when you leave this planet. If you think heaven is hoax, join hands with such people who will help you experience heaven on earth. Kindness is the easiest step towards your spiritual journey.
Your life is your own. I want you to read that sentence until it sinks all the way down inside your gut and meets every last impulse that tells you to put your intuition on pause, to place yourself second, to squeeze and bend and break into the molds of what everyone else wants you to be.
Your life is your own. I want it to pass through your head so many times it slowly clears out the debris of your fear. I want you to meditate on it until you realize that you are not too strange, you just have the courage to be your true self, you are not too different, you just have the courage to follow your own heart, you are not unworthy, you are just honest about the very natural human experience of feeling unworthiness.
Every person alive wishes to embody these very same forms of freedom. They are not judging you, they are expressing the parts of themselves they’ve judged into silence.
Your life is your own, and it always will be. You must find the courage to claim it, or it will pass by you untouched, a glimmering, lost potential of all that could have been. (Not my words).
You have to chase the things that ignite you. You have to do the things that bring you joy. You have to surround yourself with the people who bring you back home to yourself, with the people who respect you and embrace you in ways that make you feel like you are worthy and accepted and celebrated and loved. You have do the work to heal yourself, even when it hurts especially when it hurts, so that you do not continue to approach your life within the boundary of what is heavy within you. You have to put yourself out there, and you cannot worry about what other people think, you cannot rob yourself of experience or happiness or inspiration because you are scared of how you will be perceived. You have to be unapologetic in the way that you exist here. You have to believe that your ideas, and your hope, and your being, deserve to take up space. You have to believe that you have purpose.
Because our existence is finite. And as hard as that is to understand, as hard as that can be to connect with, from time to time remind yourself that in the most human way we are all living on borrowed time. We live as if we are promised the experiences and the potential we are chasing, we live as if we have control over what happens to us. But we don’t, and that is liberating, because it is pressing there is urgency within the lesson. It is meant to wake you up. Life is meant to be lived. (Not my words).
In LOVE, I have been elated and brokenhearted and felt every emotion in between. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to embrace the painful parts, because I realize they make me stronger and they are just parts of life. It hurts to power through the rough times but just like a muscle, it must be exercised before it’s able to become stronger.
Think about a specific painful moment in your life, and then think about how that feeling didn’t last forever even though you thought it would. Remember that life will continue to go on and time really does heal all wounds. I’m grateful for all the love and all the heartache I’ve experienced in my life. Both have been equally wonderful.
Keep the honest moments close to your heart. The ones that are the most human. When you laugh until your ribs ache with your friends, when you feel stars exploding inside of you from falling in love, when life breaks you open and those tears of transformation pour like a river from your soul. Life is really quite simple. We get to experience this planet for a brief while. We get to learn how to love ourselves and one another for the strange, messy, and magical creatures we are. What a gift it is to have a human life. If you look a little closer, there is always something to be grateful for. True gratitude isn’t ignoring the darkness. It’s participating with your whole heart in whatever moment life brings. It’s leaning into the unfolding process and having the courage to not need all of the answers.
LIVE for the MOMENTS you can’t PUT into WORDS. (Not my words).
(This paragraph got nothing to do with the post above. Whoever thinks something brewing between TAP & DEMI after seeing my snapchat stories, i am SORRY to disappoint you once again. Actually I was trying to teach her horseriding, but later i had to calm down the horse because DEMI scared him. She scared a canadian warmblood within 5 minutes. And i am afraid of her since the fall of Holy Polish empire. We are bestfriends, that’s all. SORRY MY ROYAL BITCH, YOU KNOW I HATE YOU.😋😘)
Each of us leads unique lives with experiences that nobody else will ever completely understand. Your story holds so many valuable lessons that can help inspire, teach, and motivate someone else. Should you choose to share it!?! In life, I have heard so many different stories. Just by listening, I learned so many different things. I’m so thankful I found the courage to share my story as well and talk about what I’ve been through. Not only has it helped me, but it has helped give perspective and strength to so many other people, my people to be precise. I encourage you to do the same.
Share your story with someone who is worth your time. You never know how one sentence of your life story could inspire someone to rewrite their own. No matter what you have been through in life, good or bad, don’t take it for granted. There are lessons in every moment of our lives.
In our lives we experience many different kinds of friendships. On the rare occasion we encounter someone so special that we just know we met for a reason. These are the kinds of friendships that last forever no matter what city you live in or how often you speak, no matter how old you get or what phase of life you are in. It’s the type friendship that has no judgement and sticks by you even when you fuck up. It’s the kind of friendship that makes you understand unconditional love. Maybe you met your most special friend when you were 4, or 14, or 35… or maybe you are yet to cross paths. It happens at different stages for different people. But when it does, there is no greater comfort than knowing that this person will be right there beside you to share the happiness, the sadness and everything in-between. Never, ever take these friendships for granted. (Not my words).
This paragraph is for my close friends. Yes i have a secret Instagram account since a month, it’s more like my travel timeline diary. Hardly 8-9 close friends know about it. Ask each other, let’s see who spills the bean first. I post few pics when i go to a new place, flight window seat view, some islands, coffee, the best pizza in town, my sneakers, it’s a raw me with privacy in focus. I hardly have 20 followers & i get 20-30 likes in each post. Recent 30 posts have likes or comments from 1 or 2 blue tick verified accounts. NOW THE TASK; My only rule to achieve something is; I allow myself 2 years to get it done or I just leave it like it didn’t exist. I was planning something big in 2019 for 3-4 months. Corona happened, i had to take a pause. I am already 3-4 months short of those 2 years. Go to that secret Instagram account, figure out what’s that i was working in 2019? Those blue tick accounts have a pattern. Once you have an idea about the answer, text me the title of it. The first person who gets it right, your expenses for our weekend trip & next vacation is on me. (Demi my bestie bitch, prize not for you. You know my credit card pin as well & I hate you.😋)
Every morning when the sun rises, I am a changed person. There is no use looking back at yesterday. I am no longer the person I was back then. Changed by the experiences I’ve had, the lessons I have learnt, and the love I have received. It’s time to move forward and embrace the life that I’ve been given. Be grateful for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon me. And start living a life of passion. There will always be ups and downs, good times and bad, losses and gains.
Life is about learning lessons, showing love in the process, and growing into the beautiful souls we are meant to become. Don’t let yesterday rob you of your happiness today. Every time the sun rises, it’s a new opportunity to make your life the best of your life. Enjoy every moment.
It is important to know who you are, what you stand for and how you want to see yourself. You have your whole life for you, and you determine what you do with it and how you will experience your journey. There is no one who can tell you who you are, because you decide for yourself. You make your own choices, you choose your own direction and you determine your own steps.
Think about who you are, think about how you position yourself against others. Think of your qualities, your intentions & consistent approach. See yourself as the person you want to be, without thinking about your status, your score, your ability or the people around you. Nothing or nobody should affect who you are as a person, who you are in terms of thinking, who you are with your true intentions, who you are in your actions. The life you have for you is your chance to follow your dreams, to discover, to develop and to enjoy yourself. Imagine a life in which you are completely yourself, in which you fulfill your dreams. Live your life.
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry. Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is YESTERDAY with all it’s mistakes. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We can’t undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone. Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW. With it’s possible adversities, It’s burdens, It’s large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow’s Sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This just leaves only one day; TODAY. Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity’s yesterday and tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad. It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore live but one day at a time. BE YOU & LIVE YOUR TODAY. (Not my words).
Look at it this way: “Everything you’re currently doing is the past that you’ll be talking about in your future”. At the same time, every thing you’re currently doing is the future you’ll be living. How you choose to live in this moment is what creates your past and your future. The funny thing is, a lot of us are stuck in the past or the future, not realizing that now is the only time we truly have to create our lives.
How to free your mind from the past: A lot of people haven’t learned the art of letting go, the art of forgiveness, and the art of acceptance.
Many people carry around too many regrets, hold onto grudges, and carry around loads of mistakes.
Understand one thing clearly: “You can’t change what has already happened”. You have to learn to stop victimizing yourself and let go. You have to free your mind from the weight of the past. Good or bad, your past experiences occurred to mature you, not to keep you stuck. Forgive yourself for them, accept what happened, and gracefully let go. You have better things be creating with your mind right now. MANIFEST A POSITIVE YOU RIGHT NOW.
If we believe there is no magic in life, then we’ll never experience it. If we believe the miracle is not real, then we’ll never accept it when we see it. If we believe that we’re limited in what we can do, accomplish, and become, then we’ll always live within the confines of our imagination.
However, the opposite is also true. If we believe in magic, we’ll experience it around every corner. If we believe in the miracle, then we’ll train ourselves to see and be thankful for the little miracles that unfold each day. If we believe that we are limitless, then we’ll see anything we imagine is possible. The beliefs that we hold onto influence our lives significantly, determining how our story unfolds.
WHAT WE BELIEVE IS WHAT WE WILL EXPERIENCE.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. If you don’t have patience to watch whole 37 minutes, watch last 3-4 minutes from 33.48. Every app connected to FACEBOOK runs on advertisement revenue. But this advertising business has suddenly started promoting boatloads of garbage & these so called influencers are promoting all kinds of crypto scams openly. Never believe anyone with your money.)
Our power lies not in becoming someone else, but in unfolding – revealing to the world who we have been created to be.
You don’t need to be something else or something different, who you are is perfect. So, give yourself permission to unfold stripping down to the rawest and most authentic version of yourself, and seeing it as brilliant and valuable. As you do, you’ll begin to see yourself living freely and glowing with light allowing you to experience the greatness you were destined for.
It’s so easy to walk by people and make judgments about who they are based on some small passing detail or flaw that you’ve observed. Maybe their attitude appears to be rude. Maybe they aren’t as outgoing as you are. Either way, without taking the time to actually get to know someone and hear what they’ve been through, you really have no right to judge anyone.
The things we observe superficially are just that; they are false impressions that don’t tell you anything about what others have actually experienced. Take the time to really get to know people, ask them what their story is, and be a good listener. That’s why there’s a saying; “NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER”.

This post is my little respect to those who enjoy traveling.
Traveling messes you up, but in all the good ways. It leaves you craving more, an addiction that can never quite be met. Every place, every trip, every person is a new unexpected adventure; pulling you deeper into the love of wanderlust. Your heart begins to hurt when you’re standing still, and your mind begins to itch over the idea of new places you haven’t been. Fill your soul with adventure and traveling and you will live a fulfilled life.
Why once you’ve traveled for the first time all you want to do is leave again!! They call it the travel bug, but really it’s the urge to return to a place where you are surrounded by people who share common interests & speak the same language as you do. Not English or Spanish or German, but that language where others know what it’s like to leave, change, grow, experience, learn, then go back home again and feel more lost in your hometown then you did in the most foreign place you visited. Missing few of my stupid university mates while typing this post. Grateful for the days which always pop up as memories in my Google photos.
I am a big petrolhead, but i also prefer a silent calm environment with less noise & pollution. Cities are beautiful because of it’s people, so it’s always our responsibility to make it more sustainable. In case you are from Berlin, make sure you sign this petition. http://volksentscheid-berlin-autofrei.de
You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the kind of friends you have, the work you do, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in, the way you respond & react.
You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner.
You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge, experience and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind. Be a real you.
Be a walking contradiction. Be strong and soft. Be deep and lighthearted. Be beautiful and intelligent. Be confident and humble. Be someone with a quick wit and a cheap sense of humor. Be content climbing a mountain and enjoying the sweetness of doing nothing.
The world may try and classify you as one thing because that is far easier to understand than a person who has a little bit everything in them. And you may feel misunderstood for a while, but just remember your people can only find you if you’re brave enough to be yourself. There are parts of you that you have yet to discover. There is greater love that you have yet to find. There experiences that are are far beyond your imagination. And it’s all waiting for you. Life is waiting for you. So set aside your expectations and go explore it. Life is fun, let it be. (Not my words)
Forgive yourself, for the bad decisions, for the times you lacked understanding, for the choices that hurt others and yourself. for being young and reckless.
These experiences are what matters most right now. These are vital lessons & your willingness to grow from them.
Life is choice, all day everyday. Who we talk to, where we sit, what we say, how we say it. And our lives become defined by our choices. It’s as simple and as complex as that. And as powerful.
HOW TO BECOME A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF EVERYDAY:
1. Become more observant. Notice everything that surrounds you. The world is full of examples, ideas, words, wisdom, mistakes and experiences.
2. Collect ideas. Ideas and thoughts tend to evaporate from your mind too fast. Try to capture them before it is too late. Ideally, write down or sketch every single one.
3. Read. Read a lot. Reading is probably the best investment of time ever. Devote at least 30 minutes per day to reading. Ideally, have a book always with you.
4. Analyze your day. Before going to bed, spend 10 minutes analyzing your day. Consider what things you managed to do well and what mistakes you made.
5. Start writing. The biggest value of a good writing skill is that it cultivates a discipline. First of all, the discipline of thinking. Your thoughts will cease to be random and chaotic. They will gradually become systematic and structured instead.
