A SINGLE DROP OF LIFE

 

Dear friend,

 

Greetings from Takt Residency in Berlin, Germany and feel free to check my events via this link;

Now back to the topic;

Friend, do you know that life happens to each of us differently? Yesterday, I was writing when a thought came to my mind but I waved it aside because this was personal.

Then this morning, I thought over it again and that got me thinking that I need to share it with you.  I have had many people asking me, ‘Princess, how did you do this or how were you able to get that?’ They are people who care to know and I bet they mean well.  And on the other side, there are these groups of folks who don’t or can’t just understand why someone should be different from them.

A friend of mine once called this; envy.  

To live your life worrying over another person’s achievement is a mere waste. I think you can make use of those times preciously.

Do you know what brings success to someone? It is not a gift that drops down like magic from the sky.  It is that person’s ability to define what he wants for his life. To be successful in every area of your life demands your entire commitment. I don’t believe that some people do not possess the ability to be successful. What I have faith in is that everybody can have a promising life but this comes with tangible prices.

There are four groups of people in life;

1)       Achievers

2)      Steady-troopers

3)      Generation Next

4)      Watchers.  

Among these groups is Watchers, the most troublesome and lousy group, who enjoy criticising the other three groups.  This group holds the largest population of people throughout the world.  They are down, down, in the low level and they tend to see the other three above them as exploiters. The Watchers don’t see anything good when talking about the other three groups.

And do you know why you must flee from joining this Watchers groups?

Watch out for the second part………………

 

Cheers

WHERE WE FIND HAPPINESS (2)

 TINA!

I was caught red-handed. I couldn’t lie to because there was no sign of such on me. Somehow, I saved myself.

Why have I been avoiding Tina? She is cool; she’s great and lovely to be with. I just met her two days ago when I arrived in Berlin. Yesterday, she informed me about going to the Sunday Open market near Bernauser Strasse U-Bahn to purchase a second-hand bicycle she will need until August when she will go back to the US. Then she asked me if I can escort her there. I made it clear to her that I need to work.

I thought she got it right. I never knew I was wrong until this morning when she came knocking on my door. Well, there she was at the dining table, eating her lunch. I knew she purposely waited there, and calmly. She told me she wants me to go to the market with her.

Let’s analyse this together; here is a woman we barely knew each other (we met two days ago) and she is taking on me so suddenly!  The end of the tale is that I had no choice than to go with her. When she bought the bicycle (we got it for 30 Euros on second-hand), I was glad for her.

What do I mean by where we find happiness? Tina found happiness when someone helps her out. It’s been few days we are together now, and she is proving to me, day-by-day that she needs people to complete her happiness.  Listen, if I have not fought and won the battle, I don’t think I will be free from Tina and be able to work, which is the major reason why I am here. She wants me to be everywhere with her!

Are you like Tina? Where do you find your happiness? Do you need anybody to define where you will find it?

Tina is different; I am different, and this is why I strongly believe that the best place to find happiness as individual must first of all be from YOU!  Don’t wait until someone does any help for you before you can think your life is complete.

When your life is filled with happiness, it will transmit to those around you. l make people happy because my entire life is filled with happiness. I don’t need anyone to define it for me. There are moments you will need people but you mustn’t let it becomes a do-or-die affair.

Make it your goal today to find HAPPINESS first for you as individual, then allow the rest to follow.

Cheers!

WHERE WE FIND HAPPINESS (1)

 

Dear Friend,

Tina* was at the kitchen table when I came out of my studio this morning. As soon as I saw her, I wanted to make a quick U-turn. She caught me right on time.

‘Hey good morning, Princess!’ I heard her, and then I remembered I mumbled few words giving excuse like I forgot something in the room. I was lucky she didn’t push me any further. I fled!

Back in my studio, I sat on the bed thinking of what next to do. I want to use the restroom, and to get there, I have to walk through the kitchen. I knew Tina will still be there. I decided to wait for a while. I was lucky she was back in her studio when I came out.

The moment I was done; I rushed back. Two hours later, I heard a soft knock on my door. I paused from my work and listened. Then I heard the footsteps going away. Thirty minutes past, I heard the knock and this time her voice. I did not answer.

For the next one hour, I continued working. Sometimes it’s very difficult for anyone to know that I’m indoors. I heard footsteps outside my door, going in the direction of the main exit to the building. I heaved a deep sigh, confirming that Tina is on her way out.

At 12:43, I left my work, going in search of something to chew. Guess who was at the kitchen table………….

Watch out for the concluding part.

Cheers!
