moving on | ειρηνικά~ we come in peace

Κι αφού ο κόσμος δεν καταστράφηκε στις 21-12-2012 …

Since the world did not end on the 21st…

μπορούμε να κάνουμε τους απολογισμούς μας

we may look back and take stock of our lives in 2012

Αυτή η εικόνα περικλείει όσα έζησα το 2012.

Η διδασκαλία μου στο letting go ξεκίνησε το 2010. Ο Θεός σαν καλός πατέρας και τέλειος δάσκαλος με έφερε εκεί που με ήθελε, λίγο-λίγο, με αρκετά σαμαράκια στο δρόμο. Και, voila. Here I am…

This is in one picture what 2012 was for me. Starting in 2010 God without my knowing or wanting to know, brought me where I am now. there were bumps and curves allringht. Yet, here I am.

2012

Τι έμαθα / What I’ve learned

Μαθαίνω ακόμη. Χρειάζομαι ακόμη να με πείθω. Αλλά εδώ είμαι.

I am still learning. I still need to talk myself into it. This is no easy way. But this is where I am.

Δεν το περίμενα, αλλά είναι αλήθεια. Οταν βρίσκεσαι με ανθρώπους που μοιράζεσαι ίδιους στόχους, ίδια ιδανικά, η ζωή γίνεται αρκετά πιο καλή. Ευχαριστώ για τους συναγωνιστές μου, για τη δουλειά μου, για την καθημερινότητά μου, για τα κοινά μας όνειρα.

I didn’t expect I’d ever say this, but, I am now working with like minded people and that makes my life so much easier. It is not smooth. But it is easier.

So I am Thankful for my comrades and colleagues. Let’s keep rolling guys.

Αυτό ήταν δύσκολο και μου παίρνει χρόνο. Αλλά μαθαίνω να βρίσκω την ελευθερία και τη χαρά μου εκεί που μπορώ.

This is hard stuff. I am learning to find joy and cαrve a nook for myself.

Δύσκολα πράγματα, μέρος β’. Το σχέδιο πάνω στο οποίο περπατά η ζωή μου.

Tough-er than staying behind is accepting to forgive. Sometimes my tears just flow. But I’ve learned that misery is bad for me and that getting up and dusting myself is the way to go forward.

Life is full of ups, downs, and even the occasional “I’m totally fucked” moment. The worst are usually connected with legal problems, death, severe heartbreak, or business failures. While we often feel mercilessly lost in these moments, there is almost always a recovery that leaves us feeling as though we’ve been reborn a stronger and wiser soul.

Many times I’ve felt like the caterpillar. I’ve felt the fear. I’ve felt the doubt. I’ve felt the depression. I’ve felt the anxiety and stress.

Whatever it is your inner caterpillar is struggling with, remember that the struggle is temporary and you’re undergoing what is to be one of your life’s greatest transitions. If you keep your mind fixated on living a healthy and meaningful existence, you will always emerge as a butterfly.

Life Lesson: God knows best. All I have to do is trust and put my heart into it.
