Raw joy is the main ingredient to a creative life. Indulge in it to the max. The more you indulge in raw joy, the less garbage you make, the less time you waste, the less prone you are to hanging out with the wrong people — who steal your time, resources, trust, and who areContinue reading “Raw Joy – the Fire of Creativity”

If while daydreaming, manifesting, or going to a new place, a thought like “oh no, not that again!” rushes through your system, stop right there — and do something else. That sense of déjà vu or boredom is a signal. You are not creating something new, you are responding to stimuli that link you toContinue reading “Not That Again”

From the human perspective, loving it forward is unrewarding, because we live in a world that worships scarcity and takes abundance for granted rather than worshipping abundance and taking scarcity for granted. From the ecological view, however, loving it forward is the only way to stay in the flow of life: you give because youContinue reading “Loving It Forward”

The subtlest and quietest transformations can be the most powerful ones. You can simply say “no” or “I am done with it” and mean it. And voila! Life brings better things when not so good habits die. Or after you have removed the pests. For at times the bad habits are not inside you, butContinue reading “Random Dip Into the Consciousness of the Past”

Beauty uplifts. The idea that all satisfaction is found within is not exactly true. Because beauty provides deep sighs of appreciation and moves us into a more harmonious state. Only the most precious goods – love, affection, self-worth, the skill to be blissful, presence, a sense for time and rhythms, inner calm, well-being, gusto, courage,Continue reading “On Beauty”

It takes a lot of effort to change a habit, thinking and processing of situations. Most people won’t put in the effort. Accept people as they are. You can love them. You can resolve to not harm them. You can tolerate them. You can even learn from them! You will achieve more by letting themContinue reading “Kindness Is the Way”

That is because all three — self-trust, humanity and sense of humour — enable love: loving and receiving love. Never, never give up. Never agree to a program that demands that you surrender what isContinue reading “Feline Wisdom”

Not long ago, lettuce was considered a weed – perhaps not harmful, though nothing special. Now, a good part of the world consumes it in salads close to every day. Reclaiming health may be just like the journey of lettuce: from not-knowing, and not knowing its value, to daily use. Find ways to make yourContinue reading “Where You Water It”
