Journey

FabrizioLeave a comment

Sometimes a journey takes you where you wanted to go. And sometimes it takes you somewhere completely unexpected.

You might end up with people you like and enjoy, or with people you had never thought could be close to you. You might find yourself doing things that are familiar and that you know extremely well, or you might have to improvise and get out of your comfort zone. You might feel content and energetic, or you might realize you are lost and completely depleted.

Sometimes a journey takes you here, and sometimes it takes you there.

And one way or the other, you are always exactly where you are supposed to be.

At the beginning of a new journey.

Chatting and doing

FabrizioLeave a comment

A chat can change it all.

It can change the frame, it can shift the narrative, it can move you forward. Instead of getting stuck in your head, seek a chat with a friend, a partner, a family member, a therapist, a coach, a colleague, a decent human being. Talking things through, even just talking about things, is powerful.

Of course, a chat cannot make things go away. So, seek a chat often, particularly in darker periods. And understand the importance of alternating the chatting with the doing.

It’s a fine art.

You’ve got this

You.

Because you are in charge. Not your boss. Not your partner. Not your friends, colleagues, or any general circumstance. You are driving this car and you call the shots.

Have got.

Because it’s in you. Whatever it is you need, you have it. You might not have found it yet, in fact you might be searching for it right now. In articles, podcasts, gurus, and self-help books. But it’s not there, it’s in you.

This.

Because it’s up to you to choose what “this” means. Perhaps it’s money, success, fame. Happiness, tranquillity, relaxation. Family, balance, spirituality. You define it and you make it meaningful.

You’ve got this.

A dear friend

Life is a combination of different parts.

Yourself. The people you get to build ties with. Your family. The work you do. Your beliefs and principles. Your well-being. The job you do to benefit your community. The partners you choose.

And when something bad happens in one part of our life – we get fired, a relationship ends, we are stuck in our development, etc. – it is very common to magnify that until it becomes the totality and the absolute reality of our entire existence.

To put things back in perspective, we might need help. And perspective is always a dear friend.

Sometimes

Sometimes it’s just too much.

Sometimes even the idea of taking the next step is painful.

Sometimes there’s not even a next step to take.

Sometimes breathing is harder than crying.

Sometimes the hole is deep and you can’t see but down.

Sometimes focus is impossible.

Sometimes that feeling in your guts, that thought in the back of your head, it’s the only feeling, the only thought.

Sometimes it’s like this.

Here’s to make it just “some” times.
