The answers are always within; we just need to turn down the outside noise and listen to the silence.

Those Who Stifle Authenticity

When it comes to brands, the original product is always much more expensive than the copy. Have you ever wondered why? Because that original product is made with the best ideas, the best materials, and the best processes. Copies will always be what they are: copies. However many millions of times they try to reproduce the original, the ideas are not their own, the processes are different, and so the final result, however closely it resembles the original, will always be a mere imitation.

The Cage We Live In

Dramatic as it may sound, we all live in a cage we have built ourselves. We have constructed every bar from the information we have received since the day we were born.

The Detractors

I used to think that if you did not hurt anyone, no one would hurt you. That if you helped someone, that person or someone else would return the favor at some point in your life. That if you did good, everyone would treat you well. I held on to that idea until just a couple of years ago—not only in childhood.

Do Not Explain Yourself

Do not explain yourself! Those who ask you for explanations do not need them, and those who need them will not ask, because they trust you and know you will give them anyway.

Patience vs. Force

Most of us have tried to put on a pair of trousers after gaining a few extra pounds, and even though they feel tight, we try to get them on, even if we have to force them.

Envy: Neither Feel It nor Fear It

You have often wondered: why does this person envy me so much? The answer is simple: they see your talents and virtues, but they are too lazy to make the effort to achieve what you have. They grew up with unmet emotional needs and a lack of attention, hiding their weaknesses, feeling inferior, and projecting onto others a reality they themselves cannot handle.

Beyond the Fun

A few days ago, I was at a swimming pool enjoying a couple of days off when I saw two very young parents playing with their son, who was not yet two and was clearly thrilled to have recently learned to walk.

An Elephant in a China Shop

Have you ever heard that expression? An elephant in a china shop. The first time I heard it, it puzzled me a little because I could not imagine seeing an elephant inside a shop full of glassware, but the idea kept turning over in my mind.

Sometimes we want answers; sometimes we don’t want to hear them; sometimes we don’t even look for them because we know we won’t like what they have to say. Other times, we happen to read them by chance.

I hope this blog finds its way into your life at the very moment you need an answer, and that it is in tune with what your intuition knows you truly need.
