Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

 

 

 Henry David Thoreau

"Only once in your life"

ONLY ONCE IN YOUR LIFE

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around.

*

You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.

*

 You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.

*

When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement.

*

They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself.

* 

Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.

*

There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around.

*

You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.

*

The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever.

*

Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all.

* 

A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby.

*

Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.

* 

You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.

*

You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.

* 

You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.

*

 Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

LAS RAMBLAS

One hour on the most famous street of Barcelona

La Rambla is a street in central Barcelona, popular with both tourists and locals alike. A 1.2 kilometer-long tree-lined pedestrian mall between Barri Gòtic and El Raval, it connects Plaça Catalunya in the centre with the Christopher Columbus monument at Port Vell.

The Rambla was originally a small stream flowing just outside the city walls...

“Never let someone s negative judgments of you

ruin your day or let you think less

of yourself because they are the ones

that have no idea who you really are.

 

So let them snicker, laugh and make comments

about you because they truly have no place

in your life anyways." 

 

They have no clue what

our hearts truly offer

 

 

ENJOY BEAUTY OF THE ISLAND CAPRI

(The soul needs more space than the body)

Villa San Michele on Capri in Italy is a magical place, undoubtedly unique and a living example of the dream that became reality.

Axel Munthe, swedish physician, psychiatrist, was the creator of San Michele while he decided to put into reality his dreams, ambitions and ideas through the creation of a home in Anacapri, which later became world renowned through the success of his book, The Story of San Michele.

*

Munthe said that the villa 'had no architect and that so far I did not know in what style the house was going to be built, all that would settle itself as the work went on'

*

„My home shall be open for the sun and the wind and the voices of the sea - like a Greek temple – and light, light, light everywhere!“

An old poet said: „The gods sell all things at the fair price and their best goods at the cheapest rate. All that is really useful to us can be bought for little money, it is only the superfluous that

is put up for sale at the high price. All that is really beautiful is not  put up for sale at all, but is offered us a gift by the immortal goods.

*

We are allowed to watch the sun rise and set, the clouds  sailing along in the sky, the forest and the fields, the glorious sea, all without spending a penny.

*

The birds sing to us for nothing, the wild flowers we may pick as we are walking along by the road-side. There is no entrance fee to the starlit hall of the Night.

*

The poor man sleeps better than the rich man. Simple food tastes in the long run better than food from Ritz. A few friends, a few books, indeed a very few and a dog is all you need to have about you as long as you have yourself. But you should live in the country...

*

(Axel Munthe: The Story of San Michele, CH XXV)

MAY I SAY NO ?

What could show up in my life if I say "No"

*

Frankly speaking I cringe when I think about saying No to my boss.

 

  *  

I have an interesting job, good position as well but I’m very busy. To the busy person everyone (mainly boss) keeps dumping more and more on

* 

On one hand, it seems that if my boss needs something that to be done, he used to give it to me, not to someone who is less busy... I have no problem to say NO to my colleagues but to the boss it is not easy...

*

There's a reason why busy people are busy, and people with time to waste have time...

*

Than can you help me with my question:

*

Might I even make up an excuse to support my "No." because I know that saying "No" to my boss is not expects. Than I think it will be better to change my job and start another one with a new principle.

*

What do you mean??
