I can not forget the words of one of my working place coleagues.She said that the only way of suicide accepted by the society is if one may work till he dye.So,I dont want to seem existentialist,I only remember these words, and sometimes there is a grain of true in it.

I think we are all so hard on ourselves, if we treat ourselves with kindness, love, hope, faith, then even if we feel we have made a mistake we can realize not to repeat and never give up on ourselves.

Each thing you think and feel is an experience. If you choose to view something as a mistake, you permit regret to control you and distract you from truth. Perceived mistakes don’t destroy you. It is the fear of accepting yourself that destroys you, the fear of dissolving ego and recognizeing bliss is all you are. Fear of success, of having nothing left to work toward, scares the living daylight out of many people.

Making a mistake that destroys us is allowing SMALL minds to influence you in ANY way shape or form, allowing those same small minds to control you, and waste your time and energy. To those small minds out there, and you know who you are… go to hell!!!

Mistakes…says it all miss taking, we rarely make a big mistake when we are in a position of giving.

A mistake is the one that you did not allow yourself to make. The fear of failing, the cowardice of not following your heart. The blindness in moments that scape us, due to cultural indoctrination. The other things we sometimes may call mistakes, are nothing but learning curves, forgivable and necessary to go through this beautiful and incidental thing we call life. Mistake and be free, change your mind and grow tolerant. Live…

You can dare with care.

With faith that there is someone who loves you who will take care of you, but keeping in mind that you’re responsible of your acts.

Otherwise you’ll harm yourself and maybe others you love

You cannot destroy what has never been, never is, and never will be yours;
light and love.

lots of love

We are also allowed to destroy ourselves.
That’s the big mistake.

What are the mistakes that destroy us?
Having no light, no God, no love inside?
Having no self respect, no dignity?
Loosing our dreams,love?
Life is a big puzzle, brings us situations, moments, feelings, we’ve never expected to come. You can live your whole life happy, having everything organized, settled, making little mistakes as everybody does, but everything is going according to your plan and then.. one day comes and all your plans, your whole life begin to change. Suddenly you’re faced with something you’ve never experienced before, and you should make a decision. How you can do that? Listening to your heart, your conscious, God? How can you know that you really hear it correctly? How can you know what is right? What if everything tell you this is right, and in the end, you’ll see everything was wrong. How can you be sure, if you’re just a simple human being?
I only hope that this light, you have inside, will shows you the way, I hope that God will give you signs, one can recognize.
I guess, the only way, is to pray.

love
Agnieszka
