That special someone

To love another

It’s about your mind, not people. To find, and to always keep, a person special for you, your mind has to let go of the painful memories you’ve lived, your mind must become free of judgment, your mind’s duty must be then to stop self-pity and self-doubt.

To love another, to care for another, to see the value in another, is easy if you lose all the fear and anxiety that comes from trying to control the way someone is or the way someone should be. Pay attention: We don’t truly love someone because we need. We love someone because we want.

And wanting to love someone is a decision, and a hearfelt desire, only your mind makes. Is not fate or destiny. Is not a thread connecting 2 hearts. Let’s leave romance aside. Because it’s about your mind, the freedom in it from judgment, and the capacity to silence its noise.

Give your best

Seek that feeling of accomplishment

Push yourself to give your best. Make sure at the end of the day, as you go to sleep, that you feel proud of the work you did. Life is really about nurturing this feeling. It took me a long time to truly understand this, but it is real because all that really matters is how you feel about your work.

Knowing that you are giving your best in your creative process, in your career, in your job, in your relationship, and in whatever it is. Even if things do not go as you planned, just having that safety and accomplished feeling inside you knowing that you did your best. This is what we all want.

Just do your best and let the rest go

So, please, do not let yourself be troubled if life is tough right now, or if nothing seems to be working at the moment. Keep pushing, but do it always giving your best and knowing that you are confident in yourself. Let all overthinking, overanalyzing and judging go.

Don’t allow yourself to be full of doubts and fears, just make sure you are certain you did your best. Doing your best builds a strong character. Doing your best speaks of your self-discipline and professionalism. And this, with patience, leads to great life success in general.

Developing art…

Creating great art

You know, there’s a common pattern among people who do art–like authors, like painters, like dancers, like craftspeople of all kinds. They often have no strategy, or not a very precise strategy. Sometimes we just have a vision or idea in our minds, and we just create as we go.

You may get a gut feeling about something. Your intuition could be guiding you to something, or to somewhere. Yet you can’t see the whole road ahead. I personally think this is, sometimes, really good. The mystery and the unknown force you to challenge yourself to develop great art forms.

Following your intuition

Now, the thing with going with your gut feeling, or intuition, is that if you spend too much time analyzing, or even overthinking, you may get lost or confused and thus lose your main focus. (This is not saying that having a strategy, a detailed development of your art process, is not good).

I’m just reminding you that if you are to follow intuition that you shouldn’t analyze everything perfectly. For example, as an author, I have a simple idea to start a story, and then, as I write, I immerse myself in the story itself and develop new ideas to develop further that story.

I recently learned from Twitter that some people call my creative process being a ‘pantser’. (Not really into labels). I just like to develop ideas as I go, and as I live the emotional roller coaster of the story I’m writing. In this sense, following my intuition without overanalyzing anything is what brings great art to life.

Growing true love

What true love is

The truth is that true love is not shown in the gifts, in the grand gestures, in the poetic and passionate words. I have nothing against these popular displays of affection, but true love lies in the mindset, in the empathy, in the time and effort put into the simple things.

Giving your time, listening, trying to understand and feel what someone else feels, comforting someone in need, hugging and sharing uplifting words, guiding someone to see their own worth in difficult times for that person. This is what true love is.

In the simple things

So, if you put your time, your effort, your energy into the opposite, into the gifts and grand gestures, then you are really going the opposite direction of love.

You are creating excitement, passion, a burning desire; however, love is not there. Love lies only in the simple, heartfelt things; and that is every day, faithfully, and not just in the moments of passion when everyting seems perfect.

For all creators

Don’t think but create

We all know how difficult can be to sit down and focus on something, especially something highly creative like writing or painting, and especially when we are dealing with worries, anxieties, pressures of life and such. But it can be any task that requires that the mind becomes peaceful and serene to focus wholy. This happens to me, and it really can be frustrating.

What I have found is that the secret is to sit down and do it, no excuses, no overthinking. Thinking that much makes it seem even more difficult. Our mental energy is depleted quickly if we think too much. Just write and do whatever you have to do. You’ll polish it and fix it later. First, allow your mind to get into a flow and start creating.

Mental silence

Anything we do really requires that our minds are silent. A silent mind is a mind that is not making excuses, judging, fearing and overthinking. We live in a world that is busy and running 24/7, so it is of the most intelligent and brave among us to stop and look into our minds to seek this needed silence.

And from this silence many great ideas are discovered, and solutions to problems, and depth in understanding, and the wisdom to know what love and happiness are. In this silence we also find guidance for our lives. I, as an author, find that from this same silence my best ideas emerge.

Like if I’m stuck in the middle of the story, or if I don’t know what path to create for my characters next. It doesn’t have to be a struggle, not if we practice daily to silence our minds; thus teaching our minds to get used to a new lifestyle where mental silence is priority.

Chasing perfection

Better

Achieving perfection is impossible. But chasing perfection makes you better. A person with purpose is a person who builds his life around the best habits. Better in health. Better in love. Better in relationships. Better father/mother.

Better son/daughtet. Better in creativity. Never bilittle yourself and say you cannot do better. All it takes is passion, step by step, creating the best habits daily for your better development.

Just better habits

To be better human beings, thinking and feeling, beliefs and philosophies, desires to be better do not actually make us better. Only better habits that mold you into something better actually make you better.

But the more you think about this, the more excuses you’ll make about it. The secret is to stop thinking and overthinking it so much, just envision a better you and design better habits.

Gratitude

Feeling grateful now

When it comes to being happy is always required to remember to be grateful for what you have. Being grateful puts you in a good mood, it gives you inspiration to keep going, and it humbles you in order to find joy in the daily experience.

There was a time in my youth when I was too worried about not getting what I expected out of life. I would focus more on what I didn’t yet have, and I would then lose the precious moment. But it took me years to finally understand that enjoying life is really about feeling grateful now.

Passions…

Wanting more

What is something very important for you?? What is your absolute passion, that which makes you truly inspired and happy?? I ask myself this, no matter if I already know it. I ask myself this daily to have it fresh in my mind, so I can pursue my goals, my passions and behave accordingly.

Wanting more out of life is not something bad. A better relationship. A better job. More money. Better opportunities. To be understood and treated fairly. It is all part of the journey of progress here.

What you’ll become

But, first and foremost, you have to watch your mind constantly for greediness, for anxiety and attachment to these things. They can make you competitive and agressive. They can really make you unable to truly find love and happiness within yourself.

And it is because your mind is the most important tool you have. So, the attention must be on you as a human being, in your self-development; and not losing yourself entirely in outside distrations. Wherever your attention goes, that’s what you’ll become.

Creating yours…

Being unique

One of the main things in life is to remain true to yourself, which means to follow your own path and not copy others just to fit into their narrative of what life is supposed to be. Sometimes problems arise because you want a relationship to be like others, or your success like others, or this or that.

But we are all different, and so copying each other lessens your unique ability for success in life. I must use empathy, creativity, my own vision; and so do what is best for me, create my own path. It requires bravery to be unique, to say no to the way others do things, to be your own voice and create your own style in this world.

Going beyond society

One thing I don’t do is copy the style of other authors for writing, for building plots and characters. I know that most authors do this, that they read and copy from the way bestsellers do it. And if that is you, I can respect that. But I don’t. I aim to create a new style. Some people will like it. Some others love it. But that is not my problem, because my sole purpose is to bring you ‘me’ in those pages.

I believe that if you truly look to be different, unique, and share with others your own style, then you must be brave and stop fearing not being accepted by others. If you have read my books then you know what I’m saying. I do not pretend to be better or worse than others out there; I am just different and creating my own style. After all, great minds go beyond the established norms in society.

The growth of love

Respect & Commitment

Love is experienced by our minds as a process, and it must be respected and given time to bloom under nature’s law. Love only requires 2 main components from you: Respect and commitment to make it grow.

Respect the process

Rushing into it doesn’t really help it grow. Love in relationships is like a muscle: If you go to the gym a few times, you won’t see results because the muscle fibers are working under your skin.

But if you faithfuly stick to your gym routine weeks or months, you will start to see results because now you can see your actual biceps growing. So, quiet your anxious mind and respect the process, then remain committed to the task of growing that affection, that love.

How it conquers all

Even the most heartbroken, depressed and shy among us can grow love. It is for anybody willing to respect its process and commit to it. Persist through the tough times, through the moments of self-doubt, through the anxiety and panic your mind creates at times. That is how true love becomes stronger and conquers all.
