New week, new snippet.
📚 How have you spent your weekend lately? Do you know that if you smile you can´t be mad at anyone right now? Go on, try it. Sharing and learning =)
On letting go
Easy comes, easy goes.
It´s hard to realize this truth. A treasure can be presented to you along the way, and if you are not grateful or care enough, it can be taken.
We are fighting things we don´t need anymore, it also can be that we need them to change.
What once was will not define what is now, but it can inspire your present to build great things.
Treasure, remember, but cut off the necessity to go back. You are reading this now, you are alive now, up to this point, for a reason. Do better.
On what if…
Recently, I´ve been asking myself and those closest to me: what if¨?
What if you could start all over again? What if this takes off? What if you have fear? What if you do it? What if you don´t? What if you could go back and live the same moments?
Those are hard feelings to endure, each question is just a brick thrown to the heart.
Which answers would you give to yourself? What if you take a step closer and reflect on them? (Let me know friend!)
On the craftmanship we all look for
When we perform any type of “work” or activity, we expect results. And that´s totally comprehensible, given the fact we are trading our time for the piece of labor we are trying to craft.
But, what would change if instead of considering the measurement of the outputs of our work as a rule to decide whether our craft is valuable and fulfilling, we instead measure the whole sense and ideal of the craft itself?
We are hungry for purpose. Entrepreneurship feeds us with this call; feeling, hobbies, passions. What if we can discover this same purpose in the activities we perform? Why do we do them for?
Ah, just one more thing, if you want to continue improving your mental state, your focus, and overall, your presence of mind, join me and a deep community of learners that aim to construct a life on intention and depth of mindset and heart.
We´ll chat later on this week´s life brew, so stay tuned for that. As always…
I agrée with everything you say here! We need to appreciate things more, the small things as much as the bigger things. I think if I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change much but I wish I’d been braver and had more faith in myself. As an artist I have learnt that the whole process of making a painting is the most important aspect not the end result, that’s a kind of added bonus(if it works out😉). 🙏💕
