I wanna wake up to this

When you hit rock bottom there’s nowhere else to go but up.

Why do we act the way we do, why do we choose some things over the others, why do we make certain decisions? The final purpose of all our actions and decisions is one and the same – happiness. That’s why you save money to go on a vacation, or buy a convertible, or a pair of shoes. Yes, maybe it takes months of savings and a lot of sacrifices, but the moment you will be sailing on that yacht, away from work and stress, or see yourself behind the wheel of your brand new car, it will all worth it. And happiness comes with little things also, you don’t need tones of money. Good news, finding a good book, getting together with friends, going dancing, a beautiful sunny morning, cotton candy (ok, I’m getting personal here ) … There are n things that can make one happy.

Some, make you happy for a day or less, others for a month, or a year and if you are really lucky you might just find what could make you happy for life. The most complex, long lasting and complete happiness comes with (more…)

Everybody comes to the point when life teaches them a lesson…or two.

I know I would rather regret the things that I did than the things I didn’t do. What about you?  As Mark Twain once said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the (more…)

Why is it so hard to end up certain relationships and let go of certain people? Could it be the habit, the sense of security? Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, when we think of getting out of a relationship that lasted long, what really holds us back is the familiarity and the fear of unknown?

It’s hard to move from your old home to another, to change your neighborhood, your pain in the ass neighbors with possibly worse ones, the so familiar home-office, office-home drive and to pick a new store for your every day shopping, as good as the last one (close to home, good prices, dear old saleslady).
It’s hard enough when you have to change your job, it’s even harder getting hired for the first time and leaving behind college life.
