Come on, give me the chills

Thoughts about changing, life, and whatever comes to mind.

  • the purpose of love

    The beauty of love lies in its attitude.

    You give and give and give, there’s no expectation, no anticipation. It is the act of giving itself that is beautiful.

    Giving instead of asking marvels me every time.

    When a stranger give something to you, you are delighted by his kindness.

    Do 1 kind thing to a stranger today, be the giver.

  • try to smile

    just a reminder

    Whatever the situation try to give a smile, try to understand, try to be open and compassionate.

    Everyone is suffering, we can’t expect them to react perfectly.

  • expecting the world to behave

    Every time someone doesn’t behave in the way we expect, we feel a bit frustrated.

    It’s as if we expect to be the one dictating the rule of the world, therefore when something doesn’t go that way, there must be an error somewhere.
    But what error?
    We are indeed free to choose, free to tell, free to share.

    Having a different opinion, making a different choice shouldn’t be an error, yet it’s difficult to move this cultural behaviour outside this box.
    Many people will expect that you behave under their rules, in their world.

    That’s ok, there’s nothing wrong with them either.
    But if they start telling you how you should change, be different, etc, remind yourself that you are what you decide.
    Remind yourself that nobody in the world owns the right to know what’s ok in your life, many can guess, and some will also be right, but in the end you’re the one deciding which road to take.

    It’s easy to expect others to change, much less easier to change ourselves.
    Every time you expect another person to behave differently remember this question
    “Would I do things differently just because someone is telling me to?”
    If not, if the question doesn’t even cross your mind, then why bothering pretending the same thing to others?

  • list the options

    Whenever in doubt on what to do, or when you’re stuck, list the options, every one.

    Burn your mind with options.

  • will you do the impossible?

    If there’s a scary word, it should be impossible.

    Impossible means that it cannot be achieved, that this world doesn’t allow that such thing to happen freely.
    We are bound to rules.

    It was a while that I read nevblog on how to make 1 Million dollars in 1 month.
    It was fascinating.

    At first I thought “How could be possible to do, from zero, 1 million dollars in a month?”
    The comments of the post are really thoughtful and interesting, full of ideas. They show what can be done.

    What will you do if your child has been kidnapped and the sum you have to give amounts to 1 Million?
    That’s the question.
    And the second question is: Will you achieve the impossible?

    In your day-to-day life this thought might not even cross your mind, but given the extreme situation of the example, you might react in 2 ways

    • get crazy in a second, thinking “there’s no way”
    • asking “how can I make that dollars?”

    If you fall into the second group of people, then something interesting happens.
    You start thinking about how to do it, your mind will burn at the end, but you might also do what you thought was impossible.

    There are people who make much more than 1 million in less time, so that isn’t impossible at all.
    What feels impossible is that you cannot do it.
    And sure it’s  difficult, but definitely not impossible.
