Riscul

Cand infruntam o decizie, indiferent cat de mica ar fi, cu totii facem acelasi lucruri. Ne calculam riscurile. Unele jocuri sunt sigure, dar altele…sunt intunecate. Sa iti asumi riscuri, sa te scufunzi in ele, vine mai natural la unii decat la altii.

Am auzit ca lumea poate fi impartita in doua tabere: stelele rock care fac muzica si carausii care instaleaza echipamente…nu ai curaj, nu e nici glorie.
Unii spun « da », altii spun « nu ». Unii spun ca « nu » e pentru lasi. Oamenii care isi asuma riscuri sunt cei care sunt recompensati.
Dar, cateodata cel mai mare risc poate fi acela sa avem curajul de a spune “nu”. « A fi curajos, nu inseamna a te arunca inainte in orice primejdie, cu orice risc, ci a fi hotarat sa fii intodeauna de partea adevarului », spunea un filosof candva.
Marea dragoste si marile realizari implica un mare risc. Pentru a lasa riscul sa intre in viata noastra iti trebuie flexibilitate si o doza de nebunie. Van Gogh se intreba ca ce ar fi viata daca nu am avea curajul sa riscam ceva.

Riscul. Ce simtim noi legat de asta, spune multe despre noi. In fiecare zi, de fiecare data, calculam si evaluam, dezbatem si decidem. Dar atunci cand o faci, atunci cand vine vorba de risc, singurul lucru care conteaza este sa iei decizia care este cea mai buna pentru tine.

Conversations with God Quotes

Volumele "Conversatii cu Dumnezeu" scrise de Neale Donald Walsch sunt printre cele mai bune carti pe care le-am citit vreodata. Voi posta cateva fragmente, cele care mi-au placut cel mai mult, cele care sunt cele mai reprezentative.

"The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, seek to determine Who You Want to Be. "

"The world is in the condition it is in because of you, and the choices you have made—or failed to make. (Not to decide is to decide.) The Earth is in the shape it’s in because of you, and the choices you have made—or failed to make. Your own life is the way it is because of you, and the choices you have made—or failed to make."

"All that is required is to know this. For you are the creator of your reality, and life can show up no other way for you than that way in which you think it will."

"So go ahead now. Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout. But watch. Listen. The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear—all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways."

"God is in the sadness and the laughter, in the bitter and the sweet. There is a divine purpose behind everything—and therefore a divine presence in everything."

"You cannot create a thing—not a thought, an object, an event—no experience of any kind—which is outside of God’s plan. For God’s plan is for you to create anything—everything—whatever you want."

"I have established Laws in the universe that make it possible for you to have—to create—exactly what you choose. These Laws cannot be violated, nor can they be ignored. You are following these Laws right now, even as you read this. You cannot not follow the Law, for these are the ways things work. You cannot step aside from this; you cannot operate outside of it."

"The most difficult thing for people to do is hear their own soul."

"You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always."

"You cannot resist something to which you grant no reality. The act of resisting a thing is the act of granting it life. When you resist an energy, you place it there. The more you resist, the more you make it real—whatever it is you are resisting."

"The purpose of a relationship is to decide what part of yourself you’d like to see “show up,” not what part of another you can capture and hold. There can be only one purpose for relationships—and for all of life: to be and to decide Who You Really Are. Yet the purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness."

"Know and understand that there will be challenges and difficult times. Don’t try to avoid them. Welcome them. Gratefully."

"The soul conceives, the mind creates, the body experiences. The circle is complete."

"Forever is longer than you know. Eternal is longer than Forever. God is more than you imagine. God is the energy you call imagination. God is creation. God is first thought. And God is last experience. And God is everything in between....all of it is God, and there is nothing else."

"I will not leave you, I cannot leave you, for you are My creation and My product, My daughter and My son, My purpose and My... Self. Call on Me, therefore, wherever and whenever you are separate from the peace that I am. I will be there. With Truth. And Light"

The (n)one

Oriunde intorci capul, orice revista deschizi, orice reclama auzi....toate ne spun despre acelasi lucru: existenta acelui "the one", "sufletul pereche"..etc.
Intrebarea este: exista intr-adevar acel "the one"? Adica o singura persoana care ne este predestinata sa ne fie alaturi tot restul vietii, acea persoana, care ea si numai ea, ne poate intregi. Eu nu cred asta. Cred ca in viata e posibil sa intalnesti mai multe persoane cu care te poti intelege foarte bine, cu care esti pe aceeasi lungime de unda, mai multe "suflete pereche", mai multi "the one".

De ce spun asta? E simplu. Sa ne imaginam doua persoane care se iubesc foarte mult. Dupa o relatie de 10 ani, in care fiecare simte ca celalalt e sufletul lui pereche, moare unul dintre parteneri. Celalalt partener ramane singur la o varsta cand inca te poti considera tanar. Sa zicem 35 ani. Dupa indelungi suferinte, persoana ce ramane in viata cunoaste o alta persoana, de care se indragosteste cu timpul, desi la moartea partenerului putea sa jure ca nu ar mai putea iubi pe altcineva. Dar totusi se intampla. Si este tot o iubire mare, si din nou, este tentata sa spuna: asta e sufletul meu pereche.

Asta e doar un exemplu. Poate sa nu intervina moartea, ci pur si simplu alte lucruri care fac ca relatia sa ia sfarsit. Pana la urma, in momentul cand trecem peste esecul suferit, majoritatea dintre noi gasim pe altcineva. Asadar trebuie sa uitam de acea cautare a "sufletului pereche", si sa ii dam o sansa persoanei care este langa noi. Cum ne putem da altfel seama ca e persoana potrivita pe termen lung?

Atunci cand te face sa razi persoana respectiva, desi esti trist sau urmeaza un moment greu din viata ta, atunci stii ca ii poti da o sansa. Atunci cand simti ca poti sa ii povestesti despre orice, ca stii ca te-ar intelege. Atunci cand te sprijina in ceea ce faci, cand te sustine neincetat. Atunci cand se bucura alaturi de tine de reusite sau este trist pentru ca ai avut un esec. Atunci cand va priviti in ochi secunde bune, fara sa spuneti nimic. Atunci cand isi ofera ajutorul neconditionat. Atunci cand va puteti plimba ore in sir si sa vorbiti intr-una fara sa existe vreun moment de plictiseala. Atunci cand desi trece o perioada destul de lunga in care nu vorbiti, sa puteti relua conversatiile ca si cand nu a trecut decat o zi, fara sa intervina raceala intre voi. Daca exista lucrurile astea, atunci da..eu zic ca poti sa-i dai o sansa fara sa te gandesti daca el/ea e "the one", "sufletul pereche", "cel predestinat". Pentru ca la urma urmei, poate ca nici nu exista, si dam cu piciorul la ce avem langa noi. :)
Sa fiti iubiti!
