Well, here I am on a train leaving Prague,
going back to Berlin. It is nice for a change riding a train than travelling by
plane. And a weekend away make you forget time and responsibilities for a
while, giving you a sense of freedom. But aren’t we always free?
While in Prague I also learnt something about
my past before this life. In the American Wild West I was a woman who sold her
body but who also risked everything for her one true love, and so did he. It
got us both killed – he was shot, and I was hanged because of this love. Somewhere
in this world at some other time I was also a queen who had it all – living in
a palace bathing in wealth – but still happiness was very far away. This queen
was simply very lonely even though there was a king by her side. And today,
today I am here. Right here, right now. And the question is what the mission of
this one life is. The one goal is happiness.
Can we all be happy? I say yes, we can. As long
as we concentrate on our happiness and all the joy it brings, then this is
where the road of this life can take us. Happiness. And we have to live and
appreciate it.
In life we have certain responsibilities. And
most of us have a job, pay the bills, and raise the children. But is that all
there is to life? No! One thing we must not forget on this life’s road is
ourselves. At the end of the day these are our lives, not the lives of others.
And that means while taking care of our responsibilities we also should take
time every single day for ourselves to simply enjoy what we are seeing while
for instance venturing through nature or the city. We should take time to
reflect and breathe and remember our dreams. And besides, our responsibilities should
be in tune with our dreams as well. We go to work and cover our
responsibilities there, but, on the other hand, it should be a job that we like
and enjoy.
Dreams exist so we can make them come true. If
you want to be a writer, go and write these books. If you want to be a singer,
go and sing your songs. Etc. No dream or profession is less valuable than any
other. All that matters is that it contributes to your happiness.
Even if you have your own family and raise your
children, you can still always dedicate yourself to your dreams. If that is
what you really want then you will find a way. Your kids have been your dream,
too, and there they are…
You don’t know what your dreams and wishes are?
Well, then it’s about time to find out. During the time take some time away for
yourself and listen to that little voice of yours. Day by day the picture will
get clearer.
Prioritizing yourself every day also helps you
keeping your balance, which will allow you to keep tending to your
responsibilities whole-heartedly.
In case you find yourself in moments with
nothing to do, cherish these moments as well. Some people get frustrated of
such moments believing that having nothing to do decreases their value for this
world. But this is not true. Such moments are of the highest value, and we
should cherish them. These moments are a gift you give yourself allowing you to
listen to your soul. It is always good to turn off that auto-piloting so we can
listen to that little voice in our heart, our intuition. Being stuck in
auto-piloting mode might blind us and we could easily lose sight of what really
matters. Embrace these moments of silence and solitude, which will open the
road further to the mountain top of your dream.
Your happiness always should be your No.1
priority instead of trying to please everyone else. Because truth is that you
can’t please everyone. But as long as you keep in tune with yourself and your
happiness, everything else will be in tune too.
Right now you only have this one life, so live
it well and appreciate all the beauty and magic it is filled with.
