I Find Peace Like This
I remember New Year’s Eve 2012 as if it was yesterday. That year didn’t end very well… I lost my job and my mother had an accident. However, despite the apparent bad luck we faced, I remember thinking to myself, “2013 will be better. I’m not a superstitious person, so no matter what people says about the number 13, this is going to be our year”.
Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. Maya Angelou
I have always been a person who cares about others’ issues. I may be more sensitive than the average, but the truth is that it affects me to see others suffer. And I’m not talking about problems affecting just my beloved ones. I actually care about what happens also to people that I don’t know at all.

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness. Lao Tzu
We all know them. Negative thought patterns are what keeps us from living a happy, fulfilled, stress-free life. Our thoughts have a huge impact on our emotions and affect the way we behave. Once we observe and identify our negative thinking patterns, we can learn to replace them with more optimistic and empowering thinking habits.
This year started with the plan to volunteer 3 months in Thailand at Peace Revolution HQ’s office. What it started as 3 months has became the whole year traveling and learning things, that’s why i took inspiration to write 12 things to stay more on the present moment and live happier than before.

AM I HAPPY?
I have always considered myself to be lucky. I was born in a loving family, I’ve never had health issues, I’ve always enjoyed the company of great friends, I’ve been able to pursue the career I chose and I ‘ve had the opportunity to develop all the hobbies I dreamt of. However, many times I struggled to be happy like if having all these things wasn’t enough.
