"When I started loving myself" - A poem by Charlie Chaplin

When I started loving myself I understood that I’m always and at any given opportunity in the right place at the right time. And I understood that all that happens is right –from then on I could be calm. Today I know: It’s called TRUST.

When I started to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody. When I tried to force my desires on this person,even though I knew the time is not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I know: It’s called LETTING GO.

When I started loving myself I could recognize that emotional pain and grief are just warnings for me to not live against my own truth. Today I know: It’s called AUTHENTICALLY BEING.

When I started loving myself I stopped longing for another life and could see that everything around me was a request to grow. Today I know: It’s called MATURITY.

When I started loving myself I stopped depriving myself of my free time and stopped sketching further magnificent projects for the future. Today I only do what’s fun and joy for me, what I love and what makes my heart laugh, in my own way and in my tempo. Today I know: it’s called HONESTY.

When I started loving myself I escaped from all what wasn’t healthy for me, from dishes, people, things, situations and from everyhting pulling me down and away from myself. In the beginning I called it the “healthy egoism”, but today I know: it’s called SELF-LOVE.

When I started loving myself I stopped wanting to be always right thus I’ve been less wrong.Today I’ve recognized: it’s called HUMBLENESS.

When I started loving myself I refused to live further in the past and worry about my future. Now I live only at this moment where EVERYTHING takes place, like this I live every day and I call it CONSCIOUSNESS.

When I started loving myself I recognized, that my thinking can make me miserable and sick.When I requested for my heart forces, my mind got an important partner. Today I call this connection HEART WISDOM.

We do not need to fear further discussions, conflicts and problems with ourselves and others since even stars sometimes bang on each other and create new worlds. Today I know: THIS IS LIFE!

The 5 Step 'Aha Moment' Process

Immersion – learn, study and practice your domain as much as possible. Incubation – take breaks, have recreational time, find a balance between work and play. ‘Aha Moment’ – a natural by product of first two steps. Deliberation – be honest about your ideas. Keep the good ones, ditch the bad ones. Elaboration – get to work and make your ideas a reality. This is the most important step.

Cinco meses después...

Cinco meses después de salir de mi país, aun extraño todo en la misma medida. Todo lo no material. Cinco meses después de haber vivido en Medellín, asumí el reto. Cinco meses después comprendí lo que es vivir el día a día. No esperé nada del día siguiente, con poco salí a diario con mi mejor cara, a atender cada cliente con todo lo que tenía y más. Dediqué mis días no solo a vender sino a escuchar. A diario escuchaba historias de cada uno de mis clientes, de todo tipo de historias. Cada uno dejaba algo de ellos dentro de mí. Si pudiese plasmar en una foto cada una de sus caras, no dudaría en hacerlo. Cada uno merece su puesto. Desde el niño pequeño con una incansable alegría, con el que hablaba de cosas que sólo los niños saben mirar. Hasta el señor con el que no hablaba pero veía a diario llegar a su casa, desgastado, cansado y quizá un poco desesperanzado. De observar y hablar con la gente aprendí mucho, quizás más de lo que hubiese a...

Freedom

Once upon a time, there was this little girl; she had blue hair and white eyes. People just called her The Girl. She loved to pour water over a big ants farm. Almost all the ants hated when this happen, except one young ant called Freedom. He loved to ride the waves created by the pouring water of The Girl. All the friends of Freedom told him that this was pretty dangerous, that he was too impulsive and needed to stop doing it before it was too late. The time passed by and Freedom disappeared from the farm. His friends started a search. One day, freedom’s girlfriend went to his favorite place to ride, hoping to find her boy. She saw a old ant sitting down in a rock and asked him if he know something about Freedom. He told her “There was once an ant called Freedom that became unstuck in the world. He took the wind for a map. He took the sky for a clock and set off with no destination. He was never lost.” They never look for him anymore.
