Lovely posts, Jasmine & Matt! Yes, so much to take with me..!

Miguel, the thing is that yes, you do need to change. What people are trying to say here is, though, that you’re probably searching the change from a wrong direction. I can tell from an experience, that as long as I kept thinking how I looked like outside, all I could see were my faults. If I’d just be different from this or that part… sounds familiar, right?

What I mean by building on with what you have, is that you need to light the sparkle inside. We really are physical creatures, and when it comes to energy it does make a huge difference if you make a regular exercise and proper diet part your life. As being non-athletic teen myself it’s simply hard to explain what a big difference exercise had brought to my life as a grown up..! As it is one of the best ways to quit looking at yourself from outside – and start feeling your body, strength and capability inside. To find the joy on being able to really do so much..!

The beginning is always though, but its the same with everything you do: you always start from the scratch. Just don’t afraid to start – what ever it is you desire to achieve. At the moment it seems you’re missing this inner sparkle – and this creates the feeling of alienation in your life. Start with something, anything – and think of the first human making the fire. Just like that: the first sparkle is the toughest, but it’s a crucial thing when making a fire.

I guess one of the biggest mistake in thinking causing pain is that we take so many things given to us for granted. I myself cannot, for example, stop talking about health, after I’ve witnessed such a many young people loosing theirs in the last years. So just to say this: not a single day is granted. If you woke up this morning, were able to get up by yourself, were able to think, write, eat something and simply – live – congrats: you’re one of the lottery winners in life already. (& Having a rebirth is eventually more risky in your case than making the best out of the things had already).

If you look at others and think they have more, the truth is: you’re not seeing “them”, as Matt wrote. You’re only reflecting your dreams to them, but have really no idea the stories behind. And what, if you did? You have your story to live on. Open your eyes to things you already have & ask yourself, if there really is need for more gifts from life at the moment? Maybe it’s just waiting that you learn to live with the ones given to you already, until it’s the time for a next upload. It’s like not having a desert without finishing the dinner, I guess.
