Make the best of where you are


“Accept the situation you find yourself in and use it as a foundation on which you can build the life you are dreaming of. Spend more time doing the things that you truly love to do, with the people you cherish. Value each moment of your life, appreciate it as a precious gift and remember that you never know how much time you have left. Don’t allow your life to be dominated by fear or worry, but instead have the courage to stand up and take a risk. Learn to be happy with what you already have, instead of making your happiness dependent on external influences, such as wealth and material things. Have compassion for others and see if you can give something back, by creating a value for others. Allow your creativity to flow, see where it leads you and never allow excuses to stand between you and the life you dream to have.

Deciding to follow your dreams is a choice. A choice to rise about mediocrity and to become extraordinary.

Your life will change drastically once you make the choice not to settle for a mediocre life. Quit blindly accepting your life as it is and begin to live your life as it is meant to be.

All you have to do is make a choice.

The choice to follow your dreams instead of being mediocre.

Make that choice today.

You can stop waiting for someone to tell you that you are good enough, or smart enough, or have the right qualifications to live your dreams. The truth is that nobody is going to give you permission, and you don’t need it anyway.

You can give yourself self permission to start living your dreams today.

“Live the Life of Your Dreams: Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose instead of the expectations and opinions of others.” ― Roy T. Bennett

Most people will never live the life of their dreams. They will continue to muddle through a life of mediocrity.

You can change that and begin to live the life of your dreams if you stop the behaviors that are holding you back.

Unfortunately, most people will only be able to realize all the illusions they had striven for when it’s too late for them to make a change. Interestingly enough, most of the sad regrets of the dying sound as follows:

• I wish I hadn’t spend so much time working

• I wish I had stayed in contact with my friends/family

• I wish I had spend more time with my children

• I wish I hadn’t tried to please everyone

• I wish I’d had the courage to express what I was feeling

• I wish I had done the things that I wanted to do and not what others wanted me to do

It will take a lot of courage and much honesty towards oneself to see these illusions that have become a natural part of life. In any case, it’s a lot easier to live with these illusions, instead of exposing them for what they really are. The choice is yours!

Stop the comparison, this will bring you nowhere! The point I want to make is that we all find ourselves in a variety of different situations that all come with diverse burdens, which are very difficult to compare with those of others. Therefore, we all will have to make the best out of our personal situation, but in our own, individual way. Therefore it is so important to come to terms with your particular situation and to accept it, instead of continuously comparing your life with others who seem to be better off. Unless you have the courage to compare your life with someone who makes the most of his life, despite living in a third world country, with no tangibles at all, you’re just creating an annoying illusion from false role models.

Make no excuses

Excuses prevent you from living the life you always wanted to live and especially from making the most of your life. I think that’s clear to everyone. Identify the excuses that stand between you and the life you aspire to live, take responsibility and avoid these excuses to the best of your degree the next time they come up.

know thyself

Know who you are and be comfortable with yourself. Explore what your heart wants and develop a relationship with yourself. After all, others might not have faith in you or trust you at all, but all you ever need is the faith in yourself. If you believe in yourself, no one else will be able to knock you off course. But, no one will believe in you if you don’t even believe in yourself; until you really get to know what you are capable of. Bring out your true self and be the person that you were meant to be, not the person others want you to be!”

“If you do what you always did, you will get what you always got.” –

Albert Einstein

Eu nasci em Brasília no ano de 1981. Meu signo é touro. Acredito em Deus. Não tenho religião. Adoro o silêncio. Adoro o verde da natureza. Sou apaixonada por orquídeas. Odeio gente mesquinha. Sou intolerante a idiotices. Aprecio a objetividade. Dou muito valor a pequenas coisas. Adoro pessoas que conhecem o conteúdo de cada palavra dita, e que tem um forte entendimento entre o querer e o fazer. Sou fiel em minhas relações amorosas. Amo na mesma intensidade que odeio. A vida para mim é apenas uma passagem… Não deixe que minhas palavras te confundam. Não queira imaginar que os meus pensamentos sejam o reflexo do meu comportamento. Seria egoísta de sua parte me julgar, pois você não pode dimensionar todo o sentimento que está imbricado em minhas palavras, e como estas me ajudam a esquecer os meus problemas, sanar meus conflitos e me transportar para uma outra realidade. Quero apenas que leiam, e sem juízo de valor. Não tenho a intenção de instigar seu lado obscuro, maldoso e perverso. As palavras podem ser interpretadas de várias formas, mas a maldade ou bondade, que elas transmitem, são reflexo de quem as lê. Se você tem um coração repleto de maldade, nas minhas palavras é o que irá encontrar, caso contrário, verá apenas sentimentos bons, expostos em orações coordenadas ou subordinadas aos meus pensamentos. Assim, antes de me julgar, leia primeiro o seu coração e pergunte a ele como está. Se estiver tudo bem, calmo, tranqüilo, sem ódio, rancor, raiva ou sem outros sentimentos vis, desejo-lhe boa leitura. Agora, se carregar dentro de si sentimentos maus, como os já descritos, por favor, leia o que escrevi, mas fique certo que as conclusões que venham a ter são apenas suas, mas não as minhas. Não queira impregnar-me com rótulos. O que você olha é apenas reflexo do que já conhece de si. Você jamais poderia imaginar o inimaginável ou, então, criar o novo para julgar. Todo esse julgamento é fruto do que já vivenciou, teve conhecimento ou mesmo acredita que é capaz de fazê-lo. I was born in Brasília in the year 1981. My zodiac sign is Taurus. I believe in God. I have no religion. I adore silence. I love the green of nature. I am passionate about orchids. I hate selfish people. I am intolerant of foolishness. I appreciate objectivity. I value small things very much. I admire people who understand the content of each word spoken and who have a strong understanding between wanting and doing. I am faithful in my romantic relationships. I love as intensely as I hate. Life for me is just a passage… Don’t let my words confuse you. Don’t imagine that my thoughts reflect my behavior. It would be selfish of you to judge me, because you cannot gauge all the feelings that are intertwined in my words, and how they help me forget my problems, resolve my conflicts, and transport me to another reality. I only want you to read, without judgment. I have no intention of instigating your dark, malicious, or perverse side. Words can be interpreted in various ways, but the malice or kindness they convey reflects the reader. If you have a heart filled with malice, in my words, that’s what you’ll find, otherwise, you’ll see only good feelings, expressed in coordinated or subordinated clauses to my thoughts. So, before judging me, first read your heart and ask how it is. If everything is fine, calm, peaceful, without hate, resentment, anger, or other vile feelings, I wish you good reading. Now, if you carry within you bad feelings, like those already described, please read what I wrote, but rest assured that the conclusions you may reach are yours alone, not mine. Don’t try to label me. What you see is only a reflection of what you already know about yourself. You could never imagine the unimaginable or create the new for judgment. All this judgment is the result of what you have experienced, known, or even believe you are capable of doing.
