Simply Better – Taking one challenge at a time

June 23rd, 2010

How it started

A few months ago I’ve read the book “The Power of Less” of Leo Babauta.
An interesting book about simply organizing life about a simplified time management, allowing yourself to focus on the most important things.
Also I’ve started to came across with many articles about ToDo lists and Organizing projects and pros and cons about all of them.

And before that I was saying this thing for months: “Less is more”. So after reading the book, I’ve decided it is time to Walk the Talk and take some initiatives » Read more: Simply Better – Taking one challenge at a time

54 Sources of happiness

March 22nd, 2010

Started from a post written for a personal development project I’m taking part – Whichway, I’m writing here a list with possible sources of happiness.
Some of them might work for you, some of them might not work for you.
They are what worked for me, in various times of my remembering and surprising experience.
Take them as they are and remember only one rule:

You are the owner of you own happiness.

There is no one there for you to make you happy.
Also please pay attention that your happiness may not ruin the other ones happiness.

The true sources of happiness is inside you. It is up to you to discover them and use them every way you can.

You can have as many sources of happiness as you want to have.

Some of the sources I will present in the next lines » Read more: 54 Sources of happiness

Is it?

Auto-pilot

Many times we are on auto-pilot. Automatically responding to what happens in our lives, to what triggers our social and personal auto-mechanisms.

We’re believing most of what we hear.

Trusting well known “truths” just because our someone from our life believed in them and told us in some point in time (most of them during childhood) that “This thing should be this way!”

The question(s)

Just remember that many of the important achievements, steps forward, innovations and creations came because someone, sometime put this » Read more: Is it?

No hero will come

February 17th, 2010

I hear very often around me, that people are waiting for something to happen or – worse – for someone to come and solve their problems.

I was myself in the same spot in the past so I decided to share with you my own experience on this.

Who/What are we waiting?

Let’s see what are the common things or persons we are waiting.

So we are waiting for:
1. The others to come to discuss with us our own needs
2. A friend to discuss with us our feelings
3. A partner to suggest us a better deal or a better project
4. A lover to come and express the love
5. Family to express the caring
6. An unknown person to come and say » Read more: No hero will come

Before having is being

December 16th, 2009

So there is a misconception saying that “We need to have something before being or acting”.

And I will explain about this with some short examples:
- We want to have respect of the others, before respecting them (before being respectful to them)
- We want to have understanding of others, before we try to understand them
- We want to have attention of others, before we pay attention to them
- We want to have forgiveness of others, before we forgive them
- We want to have caring of others, before we care about them
- We want to have love of others, before loving them

And here the list is as long as we want to make it.

What is the trick here?

Stories we tell

November 26th, 2009

In our lives, it happens to tell ourselves stories from time to time.

What I mean by stories, I mean we create an entire story about reasons and excuses and blames that are stopping us to take an action, to do something, to create something.

But I’ve started in the last period to be aware of the items that stops me to achieve results or create success or empower other people.

And I’ve told myself: Stop listen to your stories! They are only based on things from the past or based on what I think it will happen in the future. So nothing real, nothing tangible. These stories are not real.

How I will do this? It is very simple:

When you realize that you can do anything then you know that every story you tell to yourself it is a bullshit
