The promised land

Somewhere far somewhere beyond. Where life isn't already made, it's created. Where dreams are encouraged and inspiration is the only essential. Where imagination is the highest kite one can fly and birds fly on a parallel. Where dreams aren't just thoughts wandering around inside of a tired mind, but a place paving the way for passion and insight. Where personal obstacles no longer are an impediment, rather a tool with which one can smell infinity. Where life transcends the boundaries of conventional wisdom, allowing cut wings to grow back and blossom into spectacular handles of life.
- You, yourself have the power to determine your destiny.

One plus one

"This beautiful city seems empty. All the people in the world and it can still feel lonely. What's the point of having it all without the person you love. Sometimes you just need to start again in order to fly."

Lucky?

What's the purpose of certain things/moments happening in your life? Why do they occur?

- Today I lost my keys to then having the opportunity of reclaiming them once again. I had gone to the grocery store and when I got back to open the door there were no keys in the bag, in the jacket or anywhere else! They were completely gone, lost, never to be found again. I searched for about 20 minutes while all along feeling like it was hopeless, I wasn't going to find them. I called the landlord and asked if he could come open my door where I had the extra keys. But it wouldn't matter since they would have to redo the entire lock and change keys for safety reasons. While feeling that lump in my stomach almost like I wanted to throw up everything turns for a second, a glimpse of light is beaming through, an old uncle had found a bunch of keys and so the landlord was going to check it and then get back to me. I waited another 15 minutes. I sit outside with my groceries and look completely devastated with a thousand different thoughts running around my head. Where was I going to find the sources needed to fund the new set of keys? (Being a student with a tight budget, my income isn't exactly weighing up to my expenses this starting month.) Why is this happening to me? I really hope it's my keys that have been found! What am I going to do if they're gone?

Then he calls back. Your lucky, the number on the keys match your apartment number, I'm on my way. And it was like my entire world had been on the brink of collapsing to then land me on a pair of soft clouds in the light blue sky. I couldn't believe they were my keys, I had walked a pretty long way and yet they were found. All of this happened under 30 minutes. So I asked myself, why? Why did I lose my keys, went all crazy thinking all sorts of things, to then get them back? Why did this nice man pick up MY keys and turned them in, why didn't he just walk on by like any other person would do? What does this mean?

After some reflection the lesson to be learned could mean to become a good samaritan.
Good Samaritan Law - A law that requires able persons, without putting themselves at risk, to provide reasonable aid to persons who are injured, ill, or otherwise imperiled (jeopardized, endangered). Maybe all of this had to happen in order for me to really understand the impact of this man's actions. Now that has been passed on to me. I will always feel an obligation of turning something in if I've found it. Not because it would make me feel better, but it would mean the world to the person who have lost their personal item. We have to feel obligated and we need to pass it on, cause people are the ones making up this world and people are our only assurance of existence.

Purpose. Moment. Dream.


In life we all have different reasons as to why things work out the way they do. The only thing we share is the purpose. One purpose lead up to a moment that eventually takes you to your dream. The sequence is the same, what differs is the substance. As we are all individuals differing on a mental level, the purpose for each dream is sure to be different. As soon as you figure out the purpose you can begin to unscover your dreams. The chain also works backwords, for if you already know your dream you just have to go back and think what made you go for it and perhaps get even more inspired by it.

Never forget to think back as you go forward.

Happiness

- Happiness is the supreme goal of human beings. The meaning of life depends on it.
"What is the purpose of life? I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. From the moment of birth, every human being wants happiness and does not want to suffer. From the very core of our being we simply desire contentment." - Dalai Lama

"The aptitude of man to suffer is comparable to his aptitude to enjoy, and his aptitude to misery is inseparable from his aptitude to happiness." - E.Morin

The importance of wisdom

"The wise man has the sun and the moon by his side. He grasps the universe under the arm. He blends everything into a harmonious whole, cast aside whatever is confused or obscured, and regards the humble and the honourable." - Tchuang-Tseu, Chinese philosopher

"Freedom to those who think."

- We are nothing without our thoughts, just a body walking around existing without a specific purpose. It's time to figure out the true reason behind our intents. Our existence is determined by our thoughts. A state of mind decides your attitude towards life and all its' trebulations.
To those who don't think or even worse, let someone else think for them, are doomed to a life empty of curiosity. Not thinking is not being. Your thoughts are your own, no one can take them away from you. Your thoughts are never for sale nor can they be diminished without your consent.
