Expect Better Than You Can Imagine

I’m sitting in front of my laptop, responding to some e-mails. I’m also listening to some music, but this time I went for some old tracks I’ve been playing a pretty long time ago.

After I came back home from work, I used to make myself a cup of tea on a very rainy evening and sit close to the window…

I cannot believe that tears are falling down my face right now.

It is all because I’ve started thinking where I was five years ago. when I was listening to the same songs.

(When I’m saying where I was, I don’t mean the place itself.)

Dream Big

Everyone will tell you “dream big”, but I think I’m not the only one that didn’t believe that it will seriously come true one day. I mean, yes, you do believe. Yes, you want this, but at the end of the day, the doubts are on your mind.

That was me a couple of years ago.

Is it wrong to dream big? Absolutely not, but it is wrong to have doubts.

Everything is possible and I mean it, everything! There is enough oxygen and there are enough opportunities for each one of us in this world.

If you see something in your mind, it means that it is possible.

Whatever situation you are and whatever dreams you have right now, don’t ever have doubts, but truly believe that it’s going to happen for YOU.

Voices In Our Heads

There are people whose voices from the past are very loud in our subconscious that they effect how we act on a daily basis. Whether it is someone from your family or a friend from school, you need to forgive yourself for listening to these voices.

I want to tell you about this great method, I’ve heard of some time ago. It is not about ego or narcissism, but reminding yourself that you are good enough.

Start focusing on one thing that you like about yourself and focus on this over and over and over again. Grab a piece of paper and write this one thing. It can be that someone smiles when they smell the food you cook or you walk nicely into the room. Anything. The next day, write one more, then two, then three and read this list every day.

After some time, you don’t need the list anymore. It is because the next time when someone says something bad about you, your voice will be louder and you’ll remember those things from the list.

Don’t let others bring you down.

Live Your Life

We have only one life so let’s make the best out of it and embrace it! If you don’t live in your dream yet, it doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

Stay positive and act on it, as I wrote here. Do whatever makes you happy and be happy about it.

I know it sounds simple and it’s not easy, but you can do it!

Was I ever thinking that I’ll be happily married, wearing a dress like that and sitting in a hotel in downtown Toronto? No freaking way! I did hope, though, that one day I’ll be married to a man like my husband and I will be doing what I love (writing this for you).

My point is: imagine, believe, receive :).

  25. Inspiring. You’ve reminded us to keep striving, despite, or even because of, current challenges. I agree that many “voices” are harmful, but others (like yours) encourage as and, even in the darkest moments, keep the heart beating.
