This is an article of improvisation and with not a special plan… I just wanted to share some spontaneous thoughts with you.!

Life is not just a moment. It is a lot of moments. It is not just what you want to achieve. The real experiences are on the route. There will always be some obligations, some things that need to be done. Because simply this is life! So, do not let the time pass without a reason saying until then…and until then…live NOW!!! Feel grateful and lucky for things that you take for granted in your life. See your daily routine in an other way. Never stop dreaming even if your dreams seem elusive, crazy and far away from reality. It is nice to make a small trip your fantasy. You will not only derive pleasure, but also joy and ideas that you can make them real! Besides, all start from a simple thought, a simple dream.

Show your love to those who deserve it. Tell them how special are they for you, how much they mean to you! Don’t forget to thank them or to apologize to them. Don’t wait till you find a job, you get a promotion, to fall in love, to have a baby, to lose the extra kilos, to pay your debts, finish all you have to do and feel happy; The right moment is now! Now that you read these lines. Learn to distinguish that health and love worth more than some expensive clothes. It may seem obvious, but how many times have you thought about it?

Take vanity out of your life! Don’t ever think again ‘what people would say’ when you are about to take a decision. If you feel really nice with your decision and you don’t bother, hurt or insult anyone with it, then go on!!

Win with your value a dignified job, good standards of living, your happiness. Travel all around the world, not like a tourist that compares his country with what he will see, but like an open-minded man, with independent spirit, Accept diversity, prepare for the discovery! Keep your uniqueness but with respect to yourself and the people around you. Support what you are and what you believe, but also listen what the others have to say. Love yourself but also insist on learning and becoming better and better! Target the moon.. Because even if you miss, you will be somewhere among the stars! Say your opinion bravely and when you’re wrong you’ve better admit it.

Share. Either it is material goods or emotions. Leave aside the “gets” for a while. Give without the expectation of return. Find a truly good friend. Not familiar to you. A lifetime friend with whom any pettiness and selfishness won’t exist. Just love and humanity. Remember every person you meet, is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something. Find you own style on your appearance and personality . Despite your environment or the trends which are in, out or change. Make the trends of every era measure you. As much as you can, be reconciled with the changes and the fluidity of life. Be optimistic. You will be vindicated.

When you have the opportunity to live a true, big love, enjoy it. Even if it didn’t last, you should be very lucky that you lived it but if it lasts what else do you want? Just learn to listen. You will understand many things, you will get the appreciation of your fellows and, as time goes by, you will be a truly interesting interlocutor. Sadness, success and failure are ordinary things in life. Learn to contest, to get over this kind of things and return in life renewed and wiser than before, thanks to these experiences. This means “YOU DID IT”! You don’t have to show off and pretend you are cool and outgoing even if you feel like that. This shows insecurity and it pushes you back. Look out for the thing you are annoyed by and try to fix it as soon as you can. If you see you cannot do that, just turn the page, take off this “mask” and move on. Put some goals in your life!!! Assert things with patience and perseverance. You don’t demand them, you just struggle to get them. No one can take these from you..!!!



“YESTERDAY” IS HISTORICAL. “TOMORROW” IS UNKNOWN… BUT “TODAY” IS A GIFT!!! L-I-V-E ! ! ! !
