Today I have learned…

That the rewriting of history cannot be done by returning into the past but by shaping the future.

That if I make wishes from deep within they come true. Although the path reveals itself slowly, slowly, we should follow it. Never rush. Always listen. See. Connect the dots.

That since I know where I’m heading to professionally, I have tons of ways to get there. As long as I stay focused. Alert. On the purpose rather than on the methods.

That we sometimes fail miserably. That we sometimes take wrong decisions. That we do, invariably, make mistakes. That we do, invariably hurt and get hurt. But that we also, always, have a choice. A different option. A breathing space true to our nature at the time.

That there are always wide fields within and outside to be explored. The horizon is a preconception of our limited inner and outer perception not a truth in itself.

That when in doubt, we tend to turn to cozy well-known spots rather than go beyond. But the unseen is to be known not to be denied.

That we not need to be bold or brave or glamorous or dead-drop sexy or unbelievably wise to be loved by others. We just need to be ourselves. We just need to love ourselves to be loved back. We just need to be as open and truthful and supportive and caring as we expect the others to be. And we should admit to our mistakes rather than think small of ourselves. That we should value ourselves to be valued by others. And always, always, be grateful.

That there are times in life for renting and there are times in life for buying. Both in the end can prove to be lousy investments. But both can be valuable if we learn from them. And at one point, eventually, we should all know what needs to be bought. Or to what we let ourselves be bought in.

Today I have learned… that peace is firstly a state of mind.
