Oceanul tãu interior are nevoie de soare.

Magia se furişeazã pe scenã când îţi linişteşti oceanul interior. Minunile şi surprizele îşi fac şi ele apariţia. E chiar mirabil ce se petrece…:-)

Asta am experimentat eu zilele trecute, şi, pe cuvânt cã de abia aştept sã repet aceastã trãire..:-)

Sã-ţi linişteşti oceanul interior… Da, poate suna foarte idealist şi poetic, sunt de acord, dar asta nu are nicio relevanţã când vine vorba de experimentarea propriu-zisã a acestei stãri. De unde ştiu? Din experienţã, desigur!

Cu toţii purtãm în noi înşine un ocean, ocean care uneori e tãcut dar alteori e foarte zbuciumat. Nu e greu sã-l aducem într-un spaţiu de pace, dacã încercãm sã aducem aceastã pace în mintea noastrã, mai întâi. Aici e cheia…:-)

Soarele, ca sã lumineze şi strãluceascã, trebuie sã fie sus, sus pe cer, nu?  

Ei, cam aşa e şi cu pacea din minţile noastre.

Dacã liniştim aici locul, aceastã pace va coborî şi asupra sufletului şi trupului nostru. Şi atunci, începi sã vezi lumea cu alţi ochi,  ochi plini de iubire, generozitate, armonie, bucurie…

Vei simţi cã oceanul tãu e calm acum, cã furtuna a trecut şi apele s-au domolit. E vorba de acea seninãtate care ia locul vacarmului şi tu vei putea din nou sã zâmbeşti, şi cu inimã recunoscãtoare vei şopti:” A trecut…”

Nu-i frumos?:)

Ai grijã de acest ocean, cãci e tot ce ai mai de preţ. Dacã tu te vei îngriji de el, şi el se va îngriji de tine. Dacã din contrã, nu-ţi pasã şi laşi furtuna sã-l tulbure, atunci, prieten drag, sã nu te miri când vei vedea ieşind la suprafaţã corãbii de mult scufundate în acest ocean al tãu, şi aceste corãbii sunt putrede, negre, mucegãite, hidoase întrucât zac de multã vreme pe fundul apei. Şi-apoi, odatã trezite şi scoase la ivealã, cu greu se vor mai duce ele de unde au venit.

Sã ai grijã, aşadar, de oceanul tãu. Ţine-l limpede, senin, curat, adãpostit de vijelii şi tumult.

La urma-urmei, nu ţi-a fost dat ca sã fie agitat. Nu!

Ţi-a fost dat ca sã-l ai în pazã, sã-l iubeşi, sã-l ocroteşti, cãci prin intermediul acestui ocean tu poţi sã experimentezi darul miraculos al vieţii.Deci, da, îi datorezi enorm, îi datorezi totul.

El, fireşte, nu-ţi cere nimic dar dacã tu te vei strãdui sã-l fereşti de frãmântãri şi neastâmpãr, el se va “strãdui” sã-ţi arate magia vieţii.

 

We can make our world a better place.

I often hear people saying, “ the world wants that and that, this world needs that and that, the global population has to… etc” and so on. And yet, nobody (or almost nobody) is referring to this world as “my world, or our world”.

Mm, sounds different, isn`t it?:-)

It`s a whole new feeling and perspective to be saying, “I like our world and am grateful for being part of it”, instead of “I like this world but it`s really not any of my concern what`s going on in it”

You see the difference?:-)

I really hope you can sense it as there is a slight (if not big and obvious) difference between these two:-)

Which one you like most? Which one resonates better with you?:-)     

Let me know, please, as I am really curious …:-)

So, how come people say, “ this world” and not “our world?” Why is that? And why are they putting themselves outside our world? Aren`t they a part of it? Aren`t we all part of this planet and in it together?

I mean, how can they think they are separated when we`re all living under the same roof( sky)?

Aren`t we stepping on the same ground?

I really don`t get it…:P

But I do know this: people are referring to the world in this way because this is what the ego taught them to do; this is what the ego led them to believe.

But you know what? It`s not true; not true at all.

We tend to think that we are separated because our eyes see the physical appearance of another person and we immediately think that that person is separated from us, that we don`t have anything in common with her, that we are here and she is there. It`s rather a normal reaction since this is what our human eyes see and what our human mind thinks.

This unreal idea of separation is created by our bodies but here`s the trick : we are more than our bodies. If you can accept this, you`re on your way to spiritual awakening. The spirit that connects us and brings everything into place is the very thing that bonds us; it always has and will always do so. This eternal spirit, my friend, is God…:-)

From this point of standing, we may say that we are brothers and sisters, and that the planet- our planet- is our house. When you look at it from this angle, the separation fades and you see the truth that`s been around for thousands of years: we`re one with everything around us.

Jesus said it, Buddha said it, Krishna and all the other great spiritual teachers that have been on this planet

Isn`t this wonderful? Isn`t it a blessing to be part of God`s divine plan?:-)

I believe it is, and I am eagerly waiting for the day when every human being on this planet will come to awakening, will come to see the truth as it really is and won`t let themselves be tricked by this illusion of separation. No, not anymore!

What a joy it will be then!:-) Our world will shine and will be full of light, beauty and harmony!

Why?

Because, when every person will realize this truth, they will no longer think, speak or act from a place of separation or individuality. Nope:-)

Instead, they`ll think from a place of global well- being:-)

They won`t think anymore as “ Need to put myself safe first” and instead they`ll think: ”I want to serve my world and people, want to act for the well-being of all as I finally got it now that this is not a race nor a competition; this life and world are not a jungle and need to secure my place in it. No, that was my old way of thinking. Now, I know better…”

So, this is our world and we are part of it, what can we do? How can we help it, since our planet is obviously facing major issues?

It all starts with a deep and conscious sense of responsibility. Everything starts with us and everything ends with us.

Let  us look at ourselves as an important piece in this game and that our place here has been divinely planned and is divinely guided:-)

This will totally shift your vibration around the idea of “what`s my place in here?”

Then, let me ask you, you do love your home, don`t you? You love to take care of it, love to keep it clean, harmonious; love to maintain it clear and free from any garbage, clutter or imbalance, right?

Well, my friend, it`s not too different from our planet:-)

Wherever you may be living, if you can make things better- regardless big or small- exactly where you are, you`re creating a strong intention, energy and action to make our world a better place. You`re contributing to its expansion, growth and ultimately-to its healing.

And when you`re doing so, other people will want to follow your example because by that time they`ll have been inspired and moved by your actions:-)

It`s a powerful chain reaction, and it has no end..:-))

We can help our world by carrying an unconditional love within ourselves for everything and everyone, we can help our world by sending into the universe positive thoughts, feelings and emotions; we can help our world by being gentle, generous and loving with people who`re less fortunate than we are. Sharing our inner gifts, without expecting something back,  is also a valuable action we can take.

We can also help our world by taking care of nature, our environment and animals.

Let us not forget that animals, too, are part of our world and most importantly- they are living beings that can feel our love or hatred. We need to love and respect them, as it is the same divine hand that created them, just like it has created us…:-)

Michael Jackson- may God rest his soul- once said, “Heal the world”. It is also the title of one of his songs.

I can`t agree more with him.  He really knew what he was saying:-) Let`s heal our world through kind words and deeds, as it is our world and we have the power to do it. It lies in our hands.

Much love,

Cristina

You are a part of this world, so you are influencing it!

When you look around you, what do you see? Do you see the world in its beauty and perfectness, just as God has created it, or do you see the “jungle” that everyone is talking about and referring to when it comes about our world?

What is your standing point? What is your day to day experience?

I am quite curious, you know…:-) and I will tell you the reason, too. I am curious because I am interested in you. You, the perfectly made being that God has placed on this earth; you, the soul that came forth to have an earthly experience and grow. Therefore, my beautiful spiritual brother/sister, what do you see when you look at our world?

Our world…I so love referring myself in this way to the world we live in. It is ours, isn`t it? We may have not created it, but it belongs to us and we belong to it.

Isn`t it beautiful?:-)

We have this strong, spiritual, everlasting bond, a bond that connects us to this world and nothing can or will ever separate us from it. This is what we wanted, this is what God wanted…:-)

So, since it is our world, we certainly have an impact over it, don`t we? See, every soul that ever came or comes in this time-space reality has something unique, something special that only that soul poses. It is like a treasure, and every soul has its own. The beauty in all this is that the world- our world- needs exactly those treasures in order to grow and expand

It`s like a big, earthly puzzle; the world is the image painted on the puzzle but it is the souls that bring the pieces so that the puzzle can be complete.

You realize now, how important you are to this world?:-)          

My God! How is it even possible for somebody to think that they don`t matter, that they are not important or that they aren’t` worth it, when it is the very hands of God that created them?

Isn`t this silly, to say the least? Aren`t we dishonoring God when we think this way about ourselves? I believe we do.

Hence, my dear fellow men & women, stop thinking this way as it`s only the ego that tells you to do so. In the eyes of God you are priceless, and you couldn`t be more loved than you already are. I Hope you won`t doubt it ever again, as this is the truth. You may have heard all kinds of things over the media, but it`s not true at all.  And hey!, since when does the media tell the truth?

I really don`t see any point on why media exists (except for spreading bad news all over the planet) but this is another topic.

Truth of the matter is that media managed to denature one of the most important universal truth, and replace it with society`s silly and worldly standards. The universal truth I`m talking about is this: every human being is important; every human being has something to say, to stand for, something to give and share with this world, regardless of any social status.

When you come to realize this truth, you`ll feel lighter and happier, your heart will smile and your eyes will shine because you will have remembered something that you always knew, something that was within you all along and it blossomed now

So, since you are a part of this world and you are influencing it, can you see just how big your power is? Every thought you think, every word you say, and every action you take- all of it has an impact and influences our world! This is how big your God given responsibility is. Whether you choose to use this responsibility for doing good or bad, it remains the same; nothing can change or alter it, meaning your power stays the same.

But need to ask you, you beautiful and divine soul, why do bad?

What`s the purpose in it? Why harming other people or this planet? Is there any satisfaction that you receive or feel by doing bad? I really can`t think of any, because satisfaction that comes from doing bad is not a satisfaction in the purest sense of the word. It`s rather something shallow and as it fades away, you`ll feel nothing bad bitterness and sadness.

Therefore, since you have divine spark within you, why not use it to do good?:-) Why not use it to make a difference in our world, to share yourself, to live righteously and in harmony, just as our spiritual teachers teach us to?

Why not living a beautiful life?

And when you`ll be old and look back, you`ll say to yourself: ”I gave my all in everything I did; I used my mind, soul and body to help people and do good deeds. I shared myself and it doesn`t matter that I will die tomorrow or next week, the world will always remember me as being a kind, loving, generous, happy person. And it is enough for me”

Think about it….:-)

Sending you much love:-)

Why happiness goes hand in hand with gratitude…

What makes you happy? What makes you feel gratitude? What makes your heart smile…?

It`s very easy to answer these questions, isn`t it?:-)

Well, that is because the answers are linked to your soul, my friend:-)

I don`t know whether you thought about this before, but so it is:-)

I know it from my own experience, too…:-)

Nothing nicer or easier than to connect yourself with your happiness:-) and there is a simple reason why: your happiness is your calling.

Ok, I can almost hear you saying:” What do you mean? How can this be?”

Well, my friend, I will tell you all about it in a minute…:-) Just be patient, ok?

I believe you have a mission, and it`s a God given one. I believe that whenever you are in alignment with that mission, you are happy and you`re expressing this happiness so strongly that everybody can see it, hear it, feel it.

It`s only normal, if you ask me. Weren`t you happy each time you got home from a long and tiring trip? Weren`t you happy to see the place you love and are most comfortable in? It`s the same with your soul, too, my friend:-)

Each time you do the thing you love the most, it`s like your soul is back on its way home, is back again in that familiar place; each time you do what you love, you`re giving your soul the opportunity to remember, to live and fulfill the very mission it was given unto it.

Isn`t it marvelous? Isn`t it a bliss?                                                             

I can`t imagine why anyone wouldn`t do what they love to do, I can`t imagine anyone stopping themselves from doing that very activity that enriches their spirit… I really can`t, and have to say, I feel sorry for them because these persons are depraving themselves from a glorious, unlimited, huge joy!

Whoever loves their soul, will always and forever follow their own path, follow their own bliss, regardless of what anybody else may say. It is for the simple fact that their soul and path are by far much more important than what other people are saying.

Happiness is simply happiness, and every human body is entitled to it. Whenever you feel happy, you have something to give to other people; whenever you feel happy, gratitude follows in, too. It simply does, it can`t be stopped.

Why?

Because where happiness goes, love goes; where happiness goes, joy, love, harmony, generosity, enlightenment, wisdom go…All these uplifting feelings go wherever happiness goes, for they are linked one to another. When I feel happy, I can`t help it but saying: Thank you, God, for the life I have. Thank you, God, for my health, for the people in my life, for my health. Thank you, God, for placing me on this planet; thank you, God for making me a writer, and the list goes on and on and on…

It feels so right, it feels so natural and easy to say these words, to express my gratitude when my mood is happy:-)

Now, I am not saying that one can`t be grateful if they have a low mood, no, not at all. What I am saying is that it`s much easier to let it out, to express your gratitude when you`re joyful! And it goes the other way around, too: whenever you`re counting your blessings and you bring thanks to God for them, you`ll feel a sensation of happiness for having/being given those blessings, you follow me?:-)

Happiness leads to gratitude and gratitude leads to happiness. This is all, and it`s simple as that:-)

The Bible teaches us that men shouldn`t pursue the earthly pleasures or possessions. Even though I am not a religious person, I agree with it.

Stay true to yourself, my friend; follow your calling and the path that your soul is whispering you to follow. Everything you gain spiritually – while having an earthly experience- is something that will never get lost but remain within your soul, forever.

Let me hear your thoughts on this blog post:-) I`d like that:-))

Much love,

Cristina

Divina inspiratie.

La ce te gândeşti când auzi cuvantul “ inspiraţie”? Viaţã , bucurie de a fi, sentimentul minunat care îţi umple fiecare celulã a corpului când simţi cã poţi sã faci orice?

Nu ştiu care dintre acestea rezoneazã mai bine cu tine dar cred cã eşti de acord cu mine când zic cã atunci când inspiraţia apare în jocul vieţii, lucruri cu adevãrat magice şi mãreţe se petrec. Nu cred cã inspiraţia are vreo definiţie oficialã; cred cã mai degrabã, fiecare om o denumeşte aşa cum simte.

Ĩn fond, suntem diferiţi şi fiecare vede lumea prin propriul sãu filtru.

E ceva magic legat de inspiraţie. Toate lucrurile extraordinare care s-au construit vreodatã, s-au fãcut sub bagheta misterioasã a inspiraţiei.

La fel se întâmplã şi cu oamenii. Oamenii extraordinari se deosebesc imediat de ceilalţi! Felul lor de a fi, ceea ce fac, riscurile pe care şi le asumã… Totul e altfel la ei!

Când eşti inspirat, toatã fiinţa ta e schimbatã.                                                                                                  

Felul în care gândeşti, cum acţionezi, chiar şi felul cum mergi pe stradã, toate poartã o altã culoare.

Şi, cel mai interesant e cã eşti observat de cãtre oricine, oriunde ai merge! Ai acea strãlucire în ochi care pare a spune:” Inspiration is on charge!”

Şi când te simţi aşa, poţi spune cã ai toatã lumea la picioare. Nimic nu te poate da jos din vârful muntelui tãu!

Dacã şeful îţi dã mai multe sarcini de îndeplinit, tu le accepţi zâmbind, ba chiar îi mulţumeşti pentru faptul cã îţi aratã atâta încredere; dacã apare vreo problemã, gãseşti cele mai creative şi insolite rezolvãri. Apare vreun gând negativ? Imediat renunţi la el!

De aceea, oamenii de success par a nu se mai sãtura de ceea ce fac. Ei sunt inspiraţi şi pun multã pasiune în tot! Inspiratia este un lucru minunat şi chiar suntem binecuvântaţi sã putem experimenta o astfel de trãire.

Inspiraţia poate veni la tine prin multe forme şi de cele mai multe ori- neobişnuite. Auzi o melodie frumoasã şi brusc- te simţi inspirat. Auzi nişte cuvinte pozitive , şi eşti însufleţit, parcã ai vrea sã faci ceva ce nu ai mai fãcut, sã treci dincolode zona ta de comfort! Sau, vezi un peisaj natural şi nutreşti în tine dorinţa de a picta!

Inspiraţia cântã un cântec . Ascultã-l cu atenţie şi-l vei auzi. Atunci vei simţi cum aripile spiritului tãu se elibereazã, înãlţându-se , iar tu te vei minuna şi mai mult de fiinţa umanã magnificã, pe care tu o eşti.

You can make a difference. Start by being yourself.

Being yourself is one of the most beautiful things that you can do, and one of the biggest gifts you can give to our world.

You know why?

Well, firstly because you are unique. There had been never anyone like you, and there never will be, as every soul that comes into this world has its own beauty, its own light and reflection.

Isn`t this marvelous?:-)

Aren`t we the most blessed creatures on this planet?

Not only do we have a divine seed within ourselves, but we`ve also been given the absolute freedom to use this seed in every way we choose to. This divine seed (God within us) supports us in everything we want to be, do or have but it`s up to each individual`s choice how she/him uses this seed.

It`s pretty much the same thing with a tree. The earth doesn`t know or care whether the tree is an oak, walnut, apple tree, bamboo or any other kind of tree! What the earth does is that it sustains the roots of the tree (and the tree itself), nourishing it, feeding it with all the minerals that it needs so that the tree can grow strong and tall, isn`t it?

The second reason why you`re unique is because you have some talents that only you have, they are 100% yours and what you do can`t be done by anybody else. Nobody can think like you, nobody can sing, paint, write, draw, build buildings, nobody can teach, cook (and so on) like you. This is not a coincidence or some strange game played by fate. No, not at all.

There`s a reason for it: you are one unique soul and the gifts you came with on this planet are yours, only yours.

And this is the beauty, as diversity is what makes us grow, isn`t it?

It`s what determines our planet to evolve! It`s so wonderful that we are different! It`s so wonderful that each human being is original!:-)

We wouldn`t want to have some copies of ourselves just walking around here, do we?:P Nope, of course not!:-)

Therefore, honor and respect yourself; honor and respect the unique soul that you are, the unique features, talents and skills that you have because you brought them with you so that you can share them with the world.

It`s really no point in hiding them, or keeping them hidden just because we`re not sure whether it`s good or bad, right?

Well, let me tell you: there is not good or bad. These are simple labels that were created by men. The world is what is and it simply is what it is. We can relax from this point of view, too, since “good” or “bad” doesn`t exist.

It`s quite a relieving feeling, isn`t it?:-) Yup, another gift given to us by God:-)

So, my friend, stop playing small and start to unravel the golden nuggets that lie within you. You did not come here to suffer; you did not come here to keep your talents hidden; you did not come here to lose yourself in the do`s and don`ts of the society. No, not at all. You came here for expansion, you came here for the desire to share yourself, to live and experience the magical gift of life.

Ultimately, you came here to shine your own light and add growth to our planet. This is why you came:-)

So, please, don`t disappoint that pretty soul of yours and start being who you really are:-) You will never wonder again if magic really exists, I promise you!:-)

Love & Light,

Cristina

Despre scris….

Domnule, cum s-o fi numind ȋndeletnicirea aceea prin care omul se aşeazã la masã, ia stiloul şi ȋncepe sã danseze cu acesta, asemenea unui vals austriac?

Scris, mi se pare? Parcã aşa, nu?

Cã aveam ideea cã i se spune altfel dar am avut dreptate. Deci, scris…

Doamne, ce-mi place! Ce-mi place sã-mi eliberez imaginaţia, aventurându-se cu patimã asupra foii albe. Ea o ia ȋn posesiune cu totul, ca şi cum i-ar aparţine de drept. Pe de cealaltã parte, nici foaia nu se supãrã.

Absolut deloc! Cãci mi-a şoptit mie cã ȋi place felul cum conturez literele pe suprafaţa ei finã.

Pãi dacã e aşa, sã purcedem la caligrafie, atunci! Eu sunt mulţumitã, la fel şi stiloul, desigur şi foaia! Aceste ȋmprejurãri fiindu-ne servite, sã trecem la treabã…

De scris, nu scriu de mult, decât de şapte ani. Atunci am descoperit dragostea mea pentru condei. La ȋnceput, mi se pãrea o joacã, nici nu o luam prea ȋn serios, zãu!

Dar cum a apãrut prima carte, am ştiut cã nu mai e loc de aşa ceva. În aceşti şapte ani, am scris multe, ȋmpãrţindu-mi plãcerea de a scrie ȋn romane, ȋn articole de revistã, poveşti pentru copii, şi blogul meu.

Şi acum fac la fel, dar trebuie sã recunosc, dom`le!, cã romanele sunt şi vor fi veşnic slãbiciunea mea dulce. Acolo mã simt precum peştele ȋn apã, şi de abia aştept sã-l termin pe cel curent ca sã mã apuc de urmãtorul, ca o plonjare nesfârşitã dintr-un loc ȋntr-altul.

Mie ȋmi place grozav sã fac asta, mãrturisesc de pe-acum! Am ajuns alãturi de prietena mea- imaginaţia- ȋn locurile cele mai nebãnuite şi mai mirifice!

Momentan, ne tragem suflul în perioada anilor 1920, în spaţiul rural românesc, întrucât acolo e plasat cel de-al treilea roman pe care-l scriu. Vom sta aici un  timp, cãci romanul e abia la început. Dar nu-i nicio grabã, uşor-uşor le voi descoperi pe toate şi voi scrie despre ele, ţesând poveşti şi persoane pe care locurile ȋnseşi mi le dãruiesc.

Spre final, constat cã nu am reuşit sã gãsesc o definiţie adecvatã scrisului, deşi vorbesc cu literele zi de zi. Ne ȋmpãrtãşim multe şi e minunat !

Sunt mulţi scriitori pe acest pãmânt, care trudesc ȋn slujba artei frumoase a condeiului, şi desigur cã la un moment dat, fiecare dintre ei a lãsat stiloul jos şi s-a ȋntrebat ce e meşteşugul scrisului şi care-i sunt tainele. Ei toţi au ȋncercat o definiţie a lor, proprie, dupã cum au simţit şi trãit  ȋn acea clipã.

Dacã mã ȋntrebi pe mine, eu vãd scrisul ca pe un univers al fascinaţiei şi frumosului, unde poţi sã plãsmuieşti orice cu ajutorul literelor- dar imposibil de aflat pe de-a ȋntregul, vreodatã. Poate cã tocmai aici stã nota intrigantã.

Eu ador sã vãd albul paginii de hârtie, ador sã vãd contrastul elegant pe care aceasta ȋl realizeazã cu albastrul cernelei, şi ȋmi place sã aud foşnetul ȋnfundat al peniţei unduindu-se pe foaie, creând viaţã. Asta e scrisul pentru mine, şi pentru astfel de trãiri revin la masa de scris iar şi iar, necontenind a mã satura de ele.

E ceva ce mã hrãneşte şi hrãnesc, ceva ce mã creşte şi cresc – ȋntotdeauna pe altarul ȋnchinat creaţiei. Nu se poate altfel, nu mã vãd altfel, decât ȋmplinind ceea ce mi-a fost aşezat ȋn mâini, de acum şi ȋnainte pentru toţi anii ce vor veni, mereu cu recunoştinţã, respect şi dragoste pentru ceea ce fac.

Dezvãluie potenţialul din tine…!

Deseori când ne uitãm la un om, vedem doar o formã umanã care merge, gândeşte şi se hrãneşte. Dar dincolo de graniţa trupului fizic, se gãseşte o sursã infinitã de putere şi potenţial.

Este vorba de acel potenţial cu care divinitatea ne-a binecuvântat din plin, pe fiecare dintre noi.

Cum putem accesa aceastã putere extraordinarã care zace în noi şi care aşteaptã sã fie exprimatã ?

În primul rând, e important sã ştim cã o avem ; de aici începe totul. Devenim conştienţi de ea şi apoi o folosim.

Când realizezi potenţialul magnific care se aflã în interiorul tãu, doar cerul e limita!

Uitându-ne în trecut, omenirea nu se afla la nivelul de conştientizare la care se aflã acum. Şi, chiar şi aşa, lucruri fabuloase s-au fãurit şi construit, oameni puternici, remarcabili- au rãmas în istorie.

În zilele noastre, lucrurile stau altfel întrucât totul a evoluat şi nu putem decât sã sãrbãtorim acest nivel de dezvoltare al speciei umane.

Ştii de ce eşti nelimitat ?

Pentru simplul fapt cã eşti o creaturã divinã, şi porţi sãmânţa infinitului în tine. Cu toţii o purtãm, doar cã unii ştiu acest lucru, alţii nu.

Prin urmare, te invit sã te dezlãnţui şi sã faci ceea ce este semnificativ pentru tine, cãci dacã ai o dorinţã arzãtoare în tine care nu te lasã sã dormi, este pentru cã ai şi puterea ca sã o îndeplineşti !

 

Woman, don`t kneel before society. You must challenge. You must express yourself!

For far too many years, the woman was subject of slavery, was subject of dos and don’ts, subject of rules imposed upon her by society. I`d say that society has been pretty much like a harsh mother, a mother that demands from her child and tells them what they`re allowed to do or not. Yes, this is what society has been and done to women. Funny enough, society never bothered to impose these rules or restrictions on men.

Why is that?

Why is that women are looked at as being weak creatures, with no power or independence to decide for their own, for their lives…? Why does society believe that a woman can`t stand on her own and she needs a man in order to have a complete and fulfilled life? Why does society believe that it is only men who can decide, make requirements, have total freedom and rule this world? I`m not saying that the world doesn`t need men; no, of course it needs them, no question about it. It just doesn’t seem fair to limit the woman so much and at the same time, put all these heavy duties and responsibilities on her (weak, right?) shoulders.

On top of it, comes this self-made criteria, which tells women all over the world what/how to think, say, be, act. A woman is not allowed to… A woman should…A woman must always…A woman needs to… A woman has to…(fill in the blanks). You know what I`m talking about, right?

Well, I wonder, isn`t it too much? And who`s society to tell women how to think, be and live? Really now, what/who is society in order to make all these demands? Maybe this thing called society should mind its own business and leave women at peace, leave them live their lives however they want and choose to, pursue whatever makes them happy.

We do have free will, don`t we? Or is it that only men have this privilege to be free from any limitations and trammels?

If this is the case, then I dare say God hasn`t been too fair on woman`s part, and since God is impartial ( I know this for sure:-), it only makes me think that it wasn`t God who created this inequity, but society itself. Why? Well, every predator needs its prey, doesn`t it?

So, since the woman is the weak one( ha, pretty good joke!), what better thing to do then to ceaselessly hunt her, to steal away her freedom and liberty to be how she wishes to?

Therefore, society created this table of content of dos and donts- as if they`d be the very laws given by God to Moses- and women should blindly respect them, obey, worship these rules.

Well, let me tell you that I don`t agree with them not one bit! And I doubt it that respecting these rules is something that would please God; I also doubt the fact that He`d ever ask women to do such a thing and you know why? Because God gave us freedom, and He shared it equally to every living creature on this planet, regardless male or female!

He doesn`t want you, woman, to kneel before anything else except that thing that is your HAPPINESS. This is the only one, because God wants you to be happy, He wants you to be so happy and free that He doesn`t ask anything from you, not even kneel before Him (this is another thing invented by religion).

Once you recognize your happiness, go for it and make the most of it! I kneel before my happiness too, and my happiness is writing. And I happily kneel and with utmost respect, too, because my entire bliss goes around this craft called writing. Yes, I gladly kneel before my writing, cause it`s the very essence of my life and the reason why I`m in this world. Other than that, I know no other thing I should or am supposed to kneel before.

Therefore, woman, be exactly how you are, express that beauty and greatness that you have within, and don`t apologize for anything. You have an immense burning fire inside of you and it craves for expression; you have this beautiful wild side that craves for challenge and growth. Forget about society and all its stupid rules and limitation, live how you choose to, and choose what makes YOU Happy! That`s the only thing that matters!

I made myself a promise; I said to myself that when I`ll be old, I`ll look back and with tears of gratitude in my eyes, I`ll say:” Thank you, Cristina, for living the life you wanted, the life you chose for yourself, thank you for making your own choices. Thank you for following your bliss, in spite of every circumstance or odds”

This is my invitation for you, you beautiful creature:-)

Don`t look outside for an answer; search it within you and once you see it, start living the life you`re inspired by. Don`t let anyone steal your God given right to live happily, freely, limitless, as nothing is more important than You!

Be happy and smile!, and remember: You are free…! You can do whatever you want!

Love,

Cristina

 

Multumesc pentru aceasta lume!

Sunt în parcul Herãstrãu. Stau pe o bancã şi privesc pur şi simplu natura care mã înconjoarã. Este fascinantã!

Lumea aceasta în care trãim este plinã de magie şi minunãţie!

Când priveşti iarba, florile, veveriţele care coboarã din când în când din copaci  şi vin dinaintea ta, te cuprinde cea mai mare bucurie şi recunoştinţã, pentru cã trãieşti şi le poţi vedea.

Soarele strãluceşte uşor. Ĩşi împlineşte şi azi menirea de a ne lumina şi încânta cu razele lui calde. Ascult în cãşti Mozart.

Cu muzica lui deosebitã, contribuie şi mai mult la perfecţiunea tabloului în care mã aflu. Doamne, cât e de minunat! Totul !

Ĩn fiecare om, frunzã, copac, animal… se vede mãreţia Creatorului nostru, totul completat de o perfecţiune care, uimitor, poate fi atinsã, admiratã, iubitã.

Suntem binecuvântaţi sã fim aici. Nu cred cã existã o fericire mai mare ca aceasta.

Trãim pe o planetã unicã – o perlã albastrã- care alãturi de celelalte unsprezece, compun marele şirag al Universului.

Simplul fapt cã stau aici şi cã pot scrie despre toate acestea, mã face sã mã simt cea mai fericitã fiinţã din lume!

Mulţumesc, Creatorului meu, cã mi-a dat acest dar al scrisului- cea mai mare bucurie a mea. Sunt mulţumitã sã ştiu cã pot încânta ochii, mintea şi inima oamenilor prin cuvintele pe care eu le împletesc pe hârtie.

Am un dar minunat şi singura mea dorinţã este sã-l împart cu ceilalţi oameni. Altminteri, nici nu aş şti cã scriu. De aceea, am cea mai mare dragoste şi gratitudine pentru tot ceea ce existã.

Şi cum ar putea fi altfel, când suntem înconjuraţi de magie, perfecţiune şi mãreţie?

Singura noastrã ‘’misiune”este  sã le observãm.
