Fear or Excitement?

September 9, 2025

They say the feeling is the same.

You fear failure, bulling, shame and guild, but what if it all works out? What if the fear of the unknown is actually the curiosity getting thought?

We will never find out if we never try what we want, if we never go where we’re drawn to, if we never look for what we want to find. The fear of regret is bigger and heavier than the fear of failure.

Time is passing. Time we’ll never get back. The fear stays the same. The lizard brain, the ego, trying to protect us are keeping us steady, where all that is needed is to flow along with Life. To trust the waves, the storms and the calm waters under the bright sun. To have faith that it is all working out, it is all arranging itself for our highest good, as it is in fact doing so.

We have no control on anything else but the way we perceive life. The way we choose to feel and the way we react. This shapes our reality and determines whether or not we get what we need and want.

So the question really is, not what we fear, but how we can keep walking with the uncomfortable feeling but with a hearth full of faith and trust in the higher conciseness, that indeed, has out back. Always.

Daily undaily

September 3, 2025

Variety of research shows that habits are build between 21 and 40 days. And if want the result but skip a step, you better start anew.

I’m aware and I go in and out of certain habits. Found out anxiety has been my main buddy throughout my life, so working on this (kind of toxic) relationship lets me deprive myself of doing what I like, want and really look forward to. Like this Daily Blog for example.

I think about it, think about you too. But also learning to allow myself to take time and observe myself, the patterns I carry and the reason I’m moving towards the goals I desire.

This is a simple note for you, for me, for us - the world won’t finish if you skip a step, if you slow dow, if you restart the game. Sometimes a daily practice is nonlinear, disorganised even passive. A daily practice is not also the desire to move forward, even while standing still but simply not giving up. Daily practice is also acknowledging how you feel, how much energy you have and that not all days you can be on 100%.

Don't grow up

August 27, 2025

Especially out of your curiosity and artistic play. That permanent state of exploration and trying all things we like when we’re going up simply disappears when the “seriousness” of adulthood becomes a default state.

Yet all great art expression is manly connected to that pure, curious state of mind where we allow ourselves to be and do by instinct, not by structure.

I’m guilty of living too much as grown up, self depriving myself of exploration and new potential work. I also have to remind myself to let go of expectations, to remove the describing social media full of other people’s life and let myself get into the zone, into creation, letting myself come back to myself.

It’s not too late and it will never be. Just come back to what you love doing and do it often. Grown up fast will always be there, but they don’t really fill your soul up.

It's not them, it's You

August 20, 2025

The one who can give you all that you need.

It’s easier to wait for something or someone outside of us to give us, to provide us, to love us and nurture us the way we want. Perhaps the way we haven’t received as children. But the paradox is that nothing outside of you can give you the same feeling.

It is about the feeling. The feeling of pure love, of abundance, of determination when making a (life changing) decision.

It’s all in You already. It has always been. You just have to decide to reach for it, to claim it, to use it.

You are the one who imprison and release yourself.

I’ve been in the limbo for consciously 15 years. I get hyped up, I try, I loose balance, I fall. Stay low for some time until I realise it’s a waste of time. So I get up, dust myself off, breath in and go…

Then that voice appears trying to convince me there’s no point. I hear you, I know you. You said that before and look where I am now. You say what you want, but I’m going forward.

Forward and upward, like in the mountain. Always.

It’s ok to fall, some pity time is ok too. Just don’t stay there for too long.

“Live more than you work.”

Strip down

August 18, 2025

We would live easier and much lighter if we were able to strip down the limiting believes for the same amount of time we can strip down our outfit.

The clothes behind which we hide our body, as it’s not magnificent and our natural look, but it has to be hidden and forbidden of observation.

Last weekend I was reborn again - for the first time I was completely nude in public and in front of people, bathing in the mountain’s river surrounded by nature and accompanied by a close friend. I felt alive. I felt normal and completely natural.

Why do we hide so much? Why is so wrong and unacceptable to be who we are? And isn’t the rules and all the norms actually separating us further from our nature?

I know we can’t just walk in the metro naked, but spending more time nude, in our birth outfit is connecting us more to ourselves, to our bodies, helping us accept it more for what it is - the magnificent, intelligent robe of our soul in this current life.
