Chances

Opportunity there is nothing to do about get up from your bed and have that genius moment where you create or imagine “the perfect happy life” and all the world conspires in favour and make it happen.
Opportunities don’t depend on us all the times. But we can create them.
The decisions and the attitudes we must have are the chances that depend on us.
Nothing less, nothing more.
I see so many people that have tried and tried so hard to get a better job.
Or to make friends.
Or to make someone fall in love with them.
Or get some respect…
And unfortunately, they have failed in their achievements. All their efforts were in vain. The harder they’ve tried, more distant they’ve got. More distant their target are when all they have in mind is to have some happiness and joy.
Opportunities depend on the judgement of other too… If they think you are suitable, they gonna give you a chance.
To work in that business environment that you are passionate, you aim so much and know so well.
To be your friend.
To give you love and affection.
If they do not want to be bothered, if they do not want you nearby, they will give you nothing.
And it seems to me that people do not care anymore, for anything or anyone.
So many extraordinary humans being, full of passion, dedication, commitment… So many clever people, lively and friendly. And they feel like a ghost.
Invisible.
Nothing.
Just because they do not have a chance.
They feel absolutely drained by the circumstances they have been through.
They will be weak soon.
They are dying inside.
Perhaps in this exact moment, they think to themselves “what am I worth for?”
And no answers yet. Maybe one day or never they will know the answer.
While they still have a drop of strength and hope, they keep trying and trying…
They try their best and wait for positive results. It’s all they can do.
So many adorable people that we do not pay attention and how marvellous they are.
Why, for a change, do we start to pay more attention to people that pass us by?
Our happiness depend on us, but to offer some support and opportunity also depend on us, we just need to give a chance to help them shine.

Searching my happiness.
This is the life.
My life…

Challenges make part of our life and it is good!

Well, there is a time in life that we must stop everything we are doing and do readjustments or simply restart…
If we look around, we will figure out the number of people who restart completely their life or did significant adjustments.
People who get married or who get divorced.
People who started to work with something absolutely new and different.
Or people who moved to another city or country… I could do a huge list, but I think you get what I mean. All of these situation completely change the lifestyle of a person.
These days have been the most difficult of my life and I am saying it because of the challenges I’m living.
To restart it is not easy because it is necessary to forget the old routine, habits and costumes for something new and unknown. Is it exciting? Yes, it is, but I must prepare myself for it or otherwise I’d suffer a lot. I left behind who I was and everything is now in a certain distance… I just kept my knowledge, my experience and my memories.
All I am trying to do is to be someone better, bigger and achieve the happiness I believe I deserve and improve my quality of life.
Well, this difficult moment teaches me all the time and I must be clever to not lose the lesson. Sometimes it’s so hard and stressful that I think I will not get it all. Nevertheless, I keep in mind that my happiness depends on it so I look inside of me and I find the strength to go on.
Something inside me was asking me to change all my habits, to leave comfort zone and move my life to begin again.
When I decided and chose this massive change in my life I thought the meaning of all and if I would be brave enough, ready and strong to do it all different. Perhaps more pleasant, effective and happy for me, but not easier.
I made a choice, it was difficult and I’m happy I have done it, because now I know the love by myself, also my maturity, courage to face my life and it showed me that I was able to do more than I imagined.
Now, I wish to myself: strength to overcome this step and start the next one. Luck, focus, improvement and no regret!

Women

Women do not forget anything.
Do not forget the first look,
The first kiss
And do not forget when a men do a mistake.

I’m stronger than my sadness

The dissatisfaction is something that disable the person, makes the person weak. If you are in this situation now, you must break free… Break free from all the things that confine you, that make you sad, weak and without a perspective of a better life.
If you are not happy, please think about things you like or you dislike and then make a plan to your life and be brave to change it for something better.
I was really sad about the life I has been living, so I planned a change and I am executing it right now.
I am restarting my life.
And a restart is not easy.
It is not easy left behind people you love and want close to you.
It is not easy to leave the routine behind.
But I have been confident and brave, so I will win.
But some questions you should do to yourself: “what do I want in my life?”, “what is important to me?, “what would be good to change in my life?” and “why this is important to me?”
Answer the questions, think about your life, create new questions…
Plan.
Try.
Learn.
I have so many things to fix, but I try to solve them and learn the lesson.
And I keep brave, hopeful and smiling about my success, about realise my simple dream.
Whatever be your will, I wish you bravery, hopes, smiles and success.
And a 2014 full of achievements.
See you there!

Getting to know

Some people get close to one another, intending to get to know this person, but do not absolutely want it… To know someone is not easy and requires patience.
You must have interest.
Affection.
Care.
And attention.
Coexistence does not always mean that you know the other. And it does not matter if you spied on the other or stalked the other during the coexistence… It seems to me that when you want to know about the other, by force, a kind of scorn begins to prevail and then, nothing goes right … The situation gets nasty and unsustainable.
Indeed, getting to know about the other means to be interested and available… And also to be curious to know and learn, because to know someone is a constant learning and a challenge!!
It tests your nerves, your observation, your feelings, your humour, your self-knowledge and why not say your limits.
Needs good communication to discover the other slowly, gain his/ her confidence and that this person can count on you for everything. To have a conversation is a great way to do it, sometimes more jokes than serious and the reverse… However, the most important is to be true and sincere in every situation.
I enjoy learning without the other realising that they are teaching me. What excites me is to be conscious of how our lives are enriched by the experience of the other.
I think that getting to know the other requires that you probably write a print of his/her biography in your mind and in your heart, because it is in your life, in your feelings (deep or not). It is a fact that when you think about somebody, when you deal with people you definitely feel something – good or bad. If you feel nothing, you must review if it is worth or not to keep in touch.
I would like to let you think about this quote which I like so much but unfortunately I don’t know the author: “The greatest gift you can give someone is your time. Because when you give your time, you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back.”
Are you giving to yourself the opportunity of knowing marvellous people?

What is the human nature?

“… And the human nature, what is the nature?
What does belong to the human than its own uncertainly?
Whether a rich future or either destitute…
But there is an assurance which belongs to the human: the finite.
So I hope that this human have a beautiful life and beautiful songs, which thus makes your life blessed.
Thus becomes more human, timeless and endless.
And it will.”

I translate this text from my friend Flavio Gimenez.

More than your eyes can see

Sometimes people judge you badly without even knowing who you are, without knowing what happened, if your intentions were sincere and even knowing exactly what you wanted… They just dismiss you as if you were a dirty napkin after the pasta.

When people do this kind of judgment about me, it upsets and frustrates me, it makes me feel like I was less than everyone else, if I was not able or a leading zero… As if I had no chance for an opportunity to make anything in my life, as if I were a pot waiting for a flower which will never come.

But I am more than your eyes can see! So, please look through my cover and know who I am and what I most want for life.

I am not an object, I am not a toy, I am not a robot… I am a person, a person who has feelings, wishing and do plans for life. I am someone who wants a chance to make it all happen.

Maybe if people start to look deep in the other’s eyes, maybe they would know perfectly who really deserves a chance, who really wants a chance. If people stopped act by their conveniences and started to act by what is fair, many dreams and plans would not be abandoned and the world maybe would be better.

If people try something new, life would be colorful and brighter.

If I had the luck to receive an opportunity as a gift… I would try my best… But perhaps the luck which walks by my side is a bit funny or it is not good and I can’t rely on it…

Forever, yes it is!!

If you find a person willing to face storms by your side…
Run to the best rain shower of your life!
And jump puddles.
Venture yourself on the rays.
Thrill to the sound of the wind
Nothing in your life will be riskier than let this person go…

Where’s the real friendship?

Why nowadays is so hard to find a truly friendship?
You know, that one you can count on especially in difficult moments, mainly when you need a help, the ones who are always by your side and you are always by their side… It’s about this kind of friendship I am talking about!!
It’s so funny, special, lovely, thankful and gorgeous to be and have real friend.
Friendship is not only when everything is ok… Well, for me it’s not friendship, it’s convenience… Fake friendship!
Human being is a social being and to be a social being means to have interest in other, to support the other in difficult moments or to be friend of the other…
When a friend don’t keep the promise made, when a friend don’t have interest on you, when a friend are not honest with you, you must ask yourself if this person is really a friend… Ask the reason the person did this kind of violence with you (yes, this is a violent attitude!!)
Real friends have a great character and substance, they are always by your side (mostly on bad moments) supporting you and interesting in you… Friend is someone you can count on, not someone who disappoint you
Look at yourself and say to you if you are the kind of person people can count on, even that ones who are great with you and you don’t know very well.
