I do not understand why you've decided to do a doctorate about repairing some bloody electricals

P: I do not understand why you've decided to do a doctorate about repairing some bloody electricals, you could have been a solicitor, a politician, in finance, making mounds of money, instead you convinced yourself that you could save the world with a spanner and foolishly forgot to save herself''? 

M: I always intended to do it all, do a doctorate, be a solicitor, politician, in finance, making mounds of money, save the world with all tools available to me as well as save myself.

P: Truly, I always dreamt for you to be a writer

M: You already know I am. I just needed to take the long road to have enough materials to share

P: Happiness and joy

M: as well as pain and sorrow

More importantly to be honest, true so the reader and I can become true friends, venture in and out on the rive of life together

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

Time to listen

Sometimes our own perspective on life may get in the way of what we understand when others speaks. Pause, breathe and really listen. You may learn something. if you are too busy with your own thoughts, you will not even realise what was said. You will probably misinterpret some important signal. So what to do, Pause, breathe, ask further questions before sharing an informed answer based on fact and not your own imagination

Are we good friend?

A friend came to visit. She brought flowers and a card. Inside the card, she wrote that I was an amazing friend. To her, at least. It is normal to question yourself on the quality of your friendship and whether or not  you are a good friend to other people, are you doing enough to engage, support, celebrate others when they go through major transition? How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?
