What kind of day we will shape today?

I wake up everyday and I thank GOD for another day that I'm alive. We take it for grant! However all days that we have indeed are gifts from the infinite universe and we should be more than glad to have it. We have this day to shape it the way that we want, it is an incredible possibility. Can you image it? We can do wonderful things or not, but most of the time, it is up to us to decide. As you probably already heard we are the sculptors, the architects, the guides of our lifes. So, why not use this day and everyday to do things that really worth to live for? Why not expend our time to create something that really matters for us and for those that we love? Why not help? Why not be nice? Why not smile? There is no reason ! As architects we can decide how this day will be ! As sculptors we can shape it the way that we want it ! As guides we can follow the path of felicity and guide the others to follow us !

The only think that we need to do to create all this things, is to believe on ourselves. It is to believe that we are part of this entire universe, and that we are made to be happy!

In the end, it is up to us to shape our days. So, my question is; What kind of day we will shape today?

I got inspired to write this text based on the quote below,  assigned to Charles Chaplin. You should read it too, it is wonderful. Have a great day ! (Remember, it is up to you)

"I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have. Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free. Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste. Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive. Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born. Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses. Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships. Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do. I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge. Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul. Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!" - Charles Chaplin

"By each crime and every kindness, we birth our future"

“The nature of our immortal lives is in the consequences of our words and deeds, that go on and are pushing themselves throughout all time. Our lives are not our own, from womb to tomb, we're bound to others, past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.” Sonmi-451 (from Cloud Atlas movie)

For me there is beauty in this quote, “by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future”, everything that we did, everything that we do, everything that we will do, all make part of our future. So, instead of complain, instead of say that things are not going to your way, instead of be a pessimist, be the great optimist that you can be, say good words to others, help others to succeed and I’m sure that you will succeed with them, that’s how the universe works good things generating more good things. More kindness, that is what this world needs!

Life is an experience, live it without fear!

Fear, that’s a terrible thing most of the time, it can stop you, it can make you froze, but fear was not created to make us froze, it was created to advise us, advise that something will go wrong, that we have to stay alert, that maybe we will have to fight, or that maybe we will have to run.

Wars, fights, lack of money, real estate collapsing, cheating, breaking hearts, death etc. We live in a world full of fear. So, we need to be able to understand it and knowing it we will be able to handle it.

You don’t need to be afraid of live, there are days that will be tough, but so what, it will pass, there are days that will be raining, and so what, the sun will appear again, there are days that will be great, but we know that it will pass too. It does not matter, life is good, to be alive is good,  be able to live this experience is good, we have to enjoy each moment, we have to learn with it, fear probably will help you to stay safe, but being fearless about what is coming in your life, will keep you alive!

Fearless - “without fear; bold or brave; intrepid.” http://www.definitions.net

Carpe Diem, Vita Brevis: Seize the Day, Life is Short

Life is short! Everybody knows that, but we live our life as it was forever. It is not !!!

Friedrich Nietzsche (a German philosopher) proposed that we will live our life over and over again, without change; we would be trapped in the same life, forever… Can you get a picture of it? Same loves, same mistakes, same adventures, same illnesses, same everything, nothing would never change, life after life, time after time, what would do differently if you believe that is true?

But think about it in a different way, that’s the only life that you have, you will not have another chance to live again. What would you do differently? I propose that does not matter in what you believe, in one way or another, live has to be lived in the best way possible. It has to be enjoyable, pleasant, we need to be nice with others and love as much as we can, be as happy for the small things and grateful for this unique opportunity to be living this life. Enjoy it !

Carpe Diem my friends !!! Vita Brevis !!!

“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”

Think a little bit about it before answer …

 Scientifically speaking; "Sound is vibration, transmitted to our senses through the mechanism of the ear, and recognized as sound only at our nerve centers. The falling of the tree or any other disturbance will produce vibration of the air. If there be no ears to hear, there will be no sound." Wikipedia

But that’s a philosophical question not a scientific one! George Berkeley once said “to be to be perceived” and if we agree with that not only the sound did not exist in this case but also the tree…

It can be disturbing! No sound, no tree, maybe not even the forest exist…and you and me, do we really exist?

So, if we need to be perceived to exist, a life without a meaning is not a life by definition…We have to put a meaning in our life, it is necessary to create something that worth to live for. It is necessary to make a difference for you or for somebody else, it is necessary to be perceived (in a good way of course).

The other side of the river- A Monk Story

"One day a young Buddhist on his journey home, came to the banks of a wide river. Staring hopelessly at the great obstacle in front of him, he pondered for hours on just how to cross such a wide barrier. Just as he was about to give up his pursuit to continue his journey he saw a great teacher on the other side of the river. The young Buddhist yells over to the Master, "Oh wise one, can you tell me how to get to the other side of this river"? The Master ponders for a moment looks up and down the river and yells back, "My son, you are on the other side"."
                                                                                                                                Buddhist story


Sometimes we are in the right side of the river and we keep trying to go to the other one. We need to understand what we want in our life, what type work, what type of friends, what type of relationships... it is not easy to decide, things change all the time, what seems to be the right thing to do today, can be the worst thing to do tomorrow, but thats how life is, like a river, always moving, trying to reach the sea. We can swim the river, dogde rocks, trying not to be drown, wishing to find our ocean where we will finally find our treasures.

Or maybe we can walk following the river and reach the sea without get wet...
I will ask the Master...

... and the world did not end

Some people are very disappointed that the world did not end. They have to go back to their life and feel sorry that they don't have a great one! 

Others like me and you are very happy because we know that life is to be enjoyed, to be lived to the maximum, to love and be loved, life is a experience project by itself.

The Maya calendar ended...life in the other hand still going on. So let enjoy our life! 

Ps: just for the record I never believed that the world would ended, did you?

Be the destroyer and re-creator of your own life.

Shiva represents the power that everyone has to destroy what is wrong to create space for what is new and correct.

Shiva “Auspicious one” is a major Hindu god and one aspect of Hindu Trinity. He is also known as “Nataraja” - Lord of the Cosmic Dance - who dances the world into and out of existence. Shiva Nataraja is both destroyer and re-creator.

Thinking about our life and we can understand the importance to get rid of things that do not add any value to our life to open space to the new. As an example we can think about people that have a terrible job, they go to work with no energy, hating whatever they are doing, but they stay there just because they need the money. (that's fine, of course they can't leave a job without other one, at least most of people don't) However most of them do not anything to change, except to complain about life and how unfortunate they are.

Instead of complain, people should use their power to create or re-create space to the new, to see a new world in front of them.

It's not so easy to change a job, a relationship, a house, to move to a different country etc. Most of the time it is not easy to change. However if you do not open a space to the new, your life will be exactly as is today, if it is what you want, that's fine, stay there, if it is not, it is time to destroy the obsolete to create a new and beautiful life.  Be the destroyer and re-creator of your own life.

Life Is an Experience!

When Alexander, the great, looked around, from the top of his horse, he stopped and cried, there were nothing else to be conquered.

If this story is true or not I will not be able to say, but the lesson learned I can.

As I always say, life is an experience that needs to be lived every moment and to do so, we have to pass for many paths to fulfill our dreams. Think for just one moment that all of yours dreams come true, that we do not need anything else, how your life would be? Great for sure, but and now what to do? Where to go? What to conquer next? Life only have a meaning if you keep achieving your goals and setting another ones, more challenging or not.

“Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.”

When your past starts to become more excited, more enjoyable, more nice than your dreams and your future, you have to stop and rethink about your life, because life is about experimentation, life is a search for an objective, a dream that you want to become true, a target to get. Without that dream, without that objective, without that pathway to arrive to the top of the hill, what would be life? Think about it, just for a second, what would be life?

Please do not get me wrong, I’m not saying that have to forget your memories, you should keep it and enjoy it, they are your story, they are what you created but do not turn it in your only life because you can create even more great memories, the only thing that you need is a target to pursue, a dream to become true!

Life is your most precious asset

Tonight or Tomorrow morning when you wake up remember that life is your most precious asset; remember that life is an experience that needs to be felt, lived, enjoyed, loved every second. Even though we all are energy and we somehow will live forever, this life the life that you and I are living now it is unique! You will not have the chance to live it again, the same way that you are living now. So, stop think too much about the future and the past, live your day and night with maximum energy, try to make it more fun with less stress and less hurry. It is your life, you are the owner of your destiny, make it worth.

“But then if we never *take* time, how can we have time?”

Nowadays in this world where we are compelling to do lot of things at the same time, it is getting difficult to have enough time to do all the things that we want to do.

I don’t know if you feel the same but it looks like that time is passing faster and faster. Work, School, Homework, Child, Traffic Jam, Internet, Social Media and thousands of other things to do, it makes us run from one side to other keeping our minds overwhelming with so many information that make the time pass and we keep trying to be faster than it, trying to be multifunctional, watching TV at the same time that we use the computer, answering the phone in the bathroom, reading newspaper and driving, we are trying to be superhuman and in the end we do not have time to things that are really important, our family, our friends, our kids, our free and lazy time.

As the Merovingian said to Morpheus in the Matrix movie, “Yes, of course. Who has time? Who has time? But then if we never *take* time, how can we have time?”.

So let’s take some time and enjoy life without rush…

The life is, was and always will be what we make it...

"Once, two men were seriously ill in the same ward of a large hospital. The room was very small and it had a window facing the world. One of the men had, as part of their treatment, allowed to sit in bed for an hour in the afternoon (something that had to do with the drainage of fluid from his lungs). His bed was near the window.
The other, however, had to spend all his time flat on his back. Every afternoon when the man whose bed was near the window was placed in a sitting position, passing the time by describing what he saw out there.
The window overlooked a park where there was a lake. There were ducks and swans on the lake, and the children were going to play with them and put bread in water. Young lovers walked hand in hand beneath the trees, and there were flowers, lawns and ball games. And in the background, behind the row of trees could be seen the beautiful contour of the city skyline.
The man lying listened to describe all this sitting, enjoying every minute. He heard about a child almost fell into the lake and how the girls were beautiful in their summer dresses. The descriptions of his friend eventually made him feel that he could almost see what was happening out there ...
Then, in a beautiful afternoon, a thought occurred to him: Why the man who stood near the window should be more than happy than me? Why he could not get the same chance? He felt ashamed, but the more he tried not to think about it, more he wanted it!
One night, while staring at the ceiling, the other man suddenly woke up coughing and choking, his hands searching for the button that the nurse would come running. But he watched without moving ... even when the sound stopped breathing. In the morning, the nurse found the other man dead and quietly took away his body.
Soon it seemed appropriate, the man asked the nurse if he could be moved next to the window. Then they put him there, it snuggled under the covers and made himself quite comfortable. The minute they left, he leaned on one elbow, with difficulty and great pain, and looked out the window.
He saw only a wall ...
The life is, was and always will be what we make it..."

We are the ones responsible to make the best of our life, we make our destiny, we are able to change and make things happen. So, start to believe in yourself and make the changes necessaries in your life to create a new you. A person that you are pride of, a person that you enjoy, a happy and wealth person.

My thoughts, now is your turn. What do you think?

Be my friend and make our life more interesting

I do believe that it's what life is about, to be happy. If you are not happy NOW, it is time to be, it is time to smile, to love, to feel great, to find a reason, to be yourself.


Ask me anything, share your ideas, be my friend in Facebook. Read my stories and make your comments, share your knowledge in my web site. Everybody can learn from your experience and we together could help others to think and have a different point of view about life ...Life is an experience project on going by itself, so why not to share it with the world.

Please can you spread these words !!! Thank you!!!

What you want for your life?

Have you ever asked yourself about this simple question? Have you ever been able to give a clear and honest answer to yourself? When you were a little girl or a boy someone probably asked you, what you want to be when you grow up? A doctor, a pilot, an engineer, an actress etc…Do you remember what you answered? Did you achieve your goals? I’m doing all these questions for just one reason…to provoke you, to make you think and rethink about what you want for your life. Because as people say, you have to have a target, otherwise you will never achieve it. Also, always remember that your thoughts are the ones that create your reality and having a clear objective and being able to internalize it in your mind will make the entire universe to help you.


My thoughts, now is your turn. What do you think?

Please, don’t forget to go to my blog and make your comments there. Share is a good way to attract positive energy.

Enjoy Every Moment

I have three quotes that I would like to share and discuss.


The first one says; “ Do not take the live so serious, you will not leave it alive anyway”, the second one says; “ Live everyday as it was the last, one day you will be right” and the third one says; “ Dream as if you will live forever. Live as if you will die today”.

All three quotes have a very important message that most of us forget. Life is finite, we have our time here but it is not eternal at least in this world. So we need to enjoy our life, our moments, our friends, our lovers, our parents, our family, the beauty to open our eyes and see the sky, the stars, the ocean, the kids playing and all the others things. As part of our day we have to dream about a better future and impress these thoughts in our subconscious and make it works for us.

Enjoy each day. Make it great. Although some days will be tougher than others, keep it positive. Remember that you have the right to be happy no matter what.

Enjoy your dreams, it will make you strong and you subconscious will work to make it happen.

As a French philosopher once said; “Life is not a line, it is a line segment,…short”, so enjoy it!

My thoughts, now is your time. What do you think?

“This too shall pass”

Probably everybody knows the story of the king that ask for a phrase so powerful that would help him in the good and the bad moments of his life … “This too shall pass” … It can be sad if you are enjoying what you have in your life and it can be very comfortable if you are passing for trouble days, but what I think that is most important in this phrase is that it makes us to think, that we have to enjoy even more the good moments, the small nice things, and be grateful for all things that make us happy. In the other hand we should realize that does not matter how small or big are our problem now, sooner or later it shall pass.
My thoughts, now is your time. What do you think?

“Isto também passará"

Provavelmente, todos conhecem a história do rei que buscava uma frase tão poderosa que poderia ser usad tanto nos bons quanto nos maus momentos de sua vida ... "Isto também passará" ... Pode ser triste, se você está apreciando o que você tem em seu vida e pode ser muito confortável se você estiver passando por muitos problemas, mas o que eu acho que é mais importante nesta frase é que ela nos faz pensar, que temos de aproveitar ainda mais os bons momentos, as pequenas coisas, e ser gratos por todas as coisas que nos fazem felizes. Por outro lado, devemos perceber que não importa quão grande ou pequeno é o nosso problema agora, mais cedo ou mais tarde .... "Isto também passará".

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. (Wallace Wattle)

I brought this topic again because it is a good starting point to develop our thoughts. Wallace point it out that none of these three points are more important, but the three together make the difference. You can not live well if your body is in pain or for some reason you are not happy the way you look like, I’d like to add here that I’m not saying that you have to have flat belly to be happy with your body, I’m saying that you have to be health and happy with your body to live a good life. Your mind has to be free of negative thoughts, free of problems. Every time that you have a negative thought, think about some thing good, some thing that will make you laugh, bring your good memories and laugh, it will make you feel better. Everybody have problems that are part of life, how you handle it and turn it in something positive or at least as learning is what really matters. At last but not at least, we have are soul, our spirit, our energy, we should stay in contact with all the good things, we have to smile, we have to try to see the good in the things and in the others, we have to say good things to people, we have to stay in harmony with the universe.
Three motives to live, all important, all connect. Remember life is development.

My thoughts, now is your time. What do you think?

Há três razões para vivermos, vivemos para o corpo, vivemos para a mente, vivemos para a alma. (Wallace Wattle)

Eu trouxe o tema novamente, porque ele é um bom ponto de partida para desenvolver os nossos pensamentos. Wallace em seu livro, afirma que nenhum desses três pontos são mais importantes, mas os três juntos fazem a diferença. Você não pode viver bem se o seu corpo está em dor ou por algum motivo você não está feliz do jeito que você se ve, eu gostaria de acrescentar aqui que eu não estou dizendo que você tem que ter barriga de tanquinho para ser feliz com o seu corpo, eu estou dizendo que você tem que ter saúde e ser feliz com seu corpo para viver uma vida boa. Sua mente tem que ser livre de pensamentos negativos, livre de problemas. Toda vez que você tem um pensamento negativo, pense em alguma coisa boa, alguma coisa que vai fazer você rir, traga suas lembranças boas e ria, isto vai fazer você se sentir melhor. Todo mundo tem problemas, isto faz parte da vida, como você lida com eles e os transforma em algo positivo ou pelo menos como uma aprendizagem é o que realmente importa. Por último mas não menos importante, temos uma alma, nosso espírito, a nossa energia, devemos ficar em contato com todas as coisas boas, temos de sorrir, temos que tentar ver o lado bom das coisas e nos outros, temos que dizer coisas boas às pessoas, temos que ficar em harmonia com o universo.
Três motivos para viver, todos importantes, todos conectados. Lembre-se a vida é desenvolvimento.

Meus pensamentos, agora é hora de mostrar o seu. O que você acha?

The object of all life is development (Wallace Wattles)

I totally believe on it. We are here for some reason, otherwise life would be meaningless. That's why we should live our life in a way that we are developing ourselves in all senses, personal, professional, recreational etc.
Someone could choose to be a doctor, someone could choose to be president, other would like to have a simple life, you can choose to play soccer, chess, dive etc but what matters are that we should be doing something to fulfill our life with happiness and always growing wisely.
My thoughts, what do you think?

Eu acredito totalmente nele. Estamos aqui por algum motivo, caso contrário, a vida sem sentido. É por isso que devemos viver a nossa vida de uma forma em que nós sempre estejamos nos desenvolvendo, em todos os sentidos, pessoais, profissionais, recreativos etc.
Alguém poderia optar por ser médico, alguém pode escolher ser presidente, outros gostariam de ter uma vida simples, você pode optar por jogar futebol, xadrez, mergulho, etc, mas o que importa é que nós devemos fazer algo para que nossa vida seja feita de felicidade e sempre crescer sabiamente.
Meus pensamentos, o que você acha?
