I Find Peace Like This
Minds practicing creativity have changed the way we live and experience the world. Without them, it would not be possible to sit down in a warm place reading these words that a person from another part of the world wrote. For creativity, there is no limit. If we want to live in a better world, we can do it!
Entre os dias 5 e 8 de Outubro, as cidades de São Paulo, Mogi das Cruzes, Guararema, Itaquaquecetuba e Alphaville foram sede de mais uma expansão do Projeto Peace Revolution, de levara cultura de paz através da meditação.
Some people get to keep their playful attitude towards life throughout the years. Can you recall your childhood days? Everything was an opportunity to play and enjoy the moment, right? Many of us still have that candid and spontaneous drive for playfulness. And meditation made it even clearer why playful is a way of being.
If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. Vincent Van Gogh
What keeps us from being happy and where is the happiness we have always been looking for?
Some years ago I read 13,99€ by Frédéric Beigbeder, a French publicist who wrote this novel as a biography, which took him to get fired after its publication. Octave Parango, the main character and alter ego of the writer, is a successful creative executive in the advertising industry, one of man “who decide what the public will want tomorrow”.
You know how grown-ups like to say they miss their childhood? Well, don’t believe them adulthood sucks. Adulthood is awesome. Have you heard this joke from ALF: “You don’t like cats? You just don’t know how to cook them.” Well, I just want to say: “You don’t like adult life? Maybe you are not sure about how to live it?”
Self-control is perhaps one of the most less talked of virtues in self-development. I mean everyone subtly knows about it but that is it.
What do people do when they need to build a house? They buy land and cut down all the plants that are on their way to make an empty space. What do I do when I start cooking? I clean everything off the kitchen table to make space for cutting boards and veggies. What do you do when you want to fall in love? You empty your heart from the previous lover to open it to a new experience.
With the pace of life speeding up every day, we really like the word “productive”. We prefer to be productive in everything, including our weekends, our private life. If you think about it, do we really need to “produce” so much?
