I wanna fly like a bird

Everything changes

Everything changes when you start to emit your own frequency rather than absorbing the frequencies around you, when you start imprinting your intent on the universe rather than receiving an imprint from existence.

The magic of beginnings

And suddenly you know: it’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.

Your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.

To break free of your broken self

Take all the time you need to heal emotionally.
Moving on doesn't take a day.
It takes a lot of little steps
to be able to break free of your broken self.

Total freedom to be yourself

A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself.
- Jim Morrison

It’s called mindset...

As my friend was passing through the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a rope tied to their legs. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

“Well”, he said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.” My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were. The powerful and gigantic creature has limited its present abilities by the limitations of its past.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life holding onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us refuse to attempt something new and challenging because of our so called mindset?

Your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt.
Choose not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past.

The bonds of thousands chains will vanish

When you lose all sense of self – the bonds of thousands chains will vanish…
Lose yourself completely. Return to the root of the root of your own soul.
- Rumi

To live the life you want

The first step to living the life you want is leaving the life you don’t want. Taking the first step forward is always the hardest. But then each step forward gets easier and easier. And each step forward gets you closer and closer until eventually what had once been invisible starts to be visible. And what had once felt impossible start to feel possible. 

The only thing that burns in Hell...

The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won’t let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they’re not punishing you, he said. They’re freeing your soul. So, if you’re frightened of dying and… and you’re holding on, you’ll see devils tearing your life away. But if you’ve made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.
- Jacobs Ladder (1990)

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

I just need some time in a beautiful place to clear my head.

Worthy of living a beautiful life

When you realize you are worthy of living a beautiful life,
you won’t let anything or anyone stand in your way.

Everything you've ever wanted in life

Don’t be afraid to give yourself everything you've ever wanted in life.

Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It’s not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make. Period.

Face your future without fear

Accept your past without regret,
handle your present with confidence
and face your future without fear.

To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
