BOLDOGSÁG

          
           Úgy döntöttem, hogy ettől a pillanattól kezdve BOLDOG leszek...vagyok, mivel már a döntés pillanata elmúlt néhány másodperce. Nem véletlen, hogy ez a bejegyzés magyarul iródik, ami nem jellemző az eddig elhanyagolt blogomra, de csak az anyanyelvem tudja megpecsételni és kifejezni igazán azt az érzést ami hatalmába keritett. Most azt érzem, hogy végre ura vagyok saját életemnek, és csak tőlem függ a boldogság megszerzése, amit eddig másoktól vártam. Nem könnyű leirni ezt az érzést, talán jogosan vádolhatna bármely olvasó, hogz közhely amit most megosztok veletek, de az a legjobb, hogy nem érdekel, mert ez a felszabadulás érzése, a saját magamnak állitott kalitka zárjának megsemmisitése.
           Ez az álmatlan éjszaka csodálatos revelációja, amikor rájöttem, hogy elég saját magammal békét kössek és máris megvan minden okom, hogy boldog legyek. A szabadaság érzése elképesztő, és erre elég volt annyi, hogy felszabaditsam magam a múlt kisérteteitől. Ha belegondolok nagyon sok időt elvesztegettem az önmarcangolással, a vádaskodással, pedig csak annyit kellett volna tenni, hogy elengedjem ami elmúlt és éljem a jelent. Az eltávozott személyek nem jönnek vissza, az elmúlt szerelem darabjait már nem lehet összerakni, az elkövetett hibákat nem lehet visszacsinalni. Akkor meg mire jó mégis folyton a jelen részévé tenni ezeket. Természetesen nem szabad semmit eltörölni mindezekből, hiszen a múltam a személyiségem része, aminek jelentős szerepe van abban, hogy ki vagyok most ebben a pillanatban. Eltávozott szeretteim mindig élnek az emlékeimben, az elkövetett hibáim ott lesznek fegyelmező eszköznek a jelen tetteihez, és az elvesztett szerelem bizonyitéka annak, hogy ami egyszer szép volt és mámoritó, nem volt elég ahhoz, hogy állhatatos is legyen. Amit másfél évvel ezelött életem második legnagyobb veszteségének hittem, ma csak arra biztat, hogy a számomra tökéletes személy ott van valahol a nagy vilgban és várja, hogy megtaláljam, vagy pedig ő találjon meg engem. Csak türelem, kitartás és éberség kell hozzá.
            Bármennyire is bosszant, hogy mindezekre csak most jöttem rá, csak most érzem ezt a békét és szabadságot, meg vagyok győződve arról, hogy ennek az utóbbi időszaknak is megvolt a maga célja. Ha visszatekintek úgy látom magamat,mint aki ködben tapogatózott, és nem tudta, hogy mihez kezdjen, merre menjen.  Most úgy érzem, hogy tudom merre megyek, viszont a köd még nem oszlott el, tehát óvatosan kell haladnom, de megvan az eróm, a bátorságom és hitem, hogy kövessem a célt és leküzdjem az akadályokat. A tudat, hogy minden ami szükséges ehhez az úthoz megvan bennem annyi önbizalmat ad, hogy semmi nem fog eltériteni róla. 
              Ami a legfontosabb és amit valójában most tisztáztam le igazán magamban az, hogy ez az utazás maga az élet, de a BOLDOGSÁG nem a végcél, nem szabad végcélnek tekinteni, mert akkor végigrohanunk az ÉLETEN keresve a boldogságot, és a végén rájövünk, hogy az valójában mindig is ott volt mellettünk, csak éppenséggel nem akartuk észrevenni. Ott lakozott a természet gyönyörüségeiben, szeretteink és más emberek mosolyában, azokban az apróságokban amik örömet szereztek nekünk vagy amivel mi szereztünk másnak örömöt, és lehetne sorolni a végtelenig, hogy mi mindenben lelhetjük meg boldogságunkat, ha azokat nem hagynánk figyelmen kivül életünk minden egyes pillanatában. 
               AZ ÉLET EGY UTAZÁS, A BOLDOGSÁGUNK PEDIG NEM A VÉGCÉL, HANEM UTITÁRS, HA AZZÁ TUDJUK TENNI.

Good living or good life?


Dear all,
Today I heard a few things which had a great impact on me, and made me think a lot about it. I assisted the Sunday sermon of a Church (it doesn't matter which one), different from where I belong as religion, and I can say that after that I was contemplating all the afternoon about the wise minister's words.
He said that at the end of the 20th century was the time of collapse of many kind of systems and institutions as political, economical, social, etc. systems, which caused always major changes. After these, people had to adapt and learn to live with the new system, which is not always going on smoothly. This was just the introductory idea, because the main idea is related to the institution of the family and the big change between the traditional definition of the family and the one it became today.
Thinking about this I had to realize that the notion of family had changed so much in a very short time. When I was a child, I remember, family meant a strong bond between people, and in most of the cases it meant also to live together, or at least to be close to each other. Today everything is different, because people think we have bigger freedom than in the past. It is true that travelling became quite easy, distances are not so big problem any more, but I'm not sure that this mean we are more free. Young people are leaving the parents' homes for a better living, to earn more money, without noticing that the family bonds will be loosened very much because of the distance, lack of time or maybe lack of interest. But in many cases the prospect of a better living is destroying marriages, and it is leaving children with severe psychological scars because they didn't have the parental love, support and model in their childhood.
This is the reason why I doubt that this wandering and moneymaking lifestyle means more freedom. I admit that the chances to gain wealth are better than in the past, let's say than during the period of communism, thanks to the fact that we can move and work in different countries, where making a living is better. But we are losing so many personal values, that finally we will arrive to have everything without knowing how to share it with a beloved person, and without belonging to a certain place or to a certain group. Freedom is good, but humans have social needs, and one of these is to belong somewhere, and to be part of a group (like a family, a friend circle, a community, etc).
The concept of the family and the communities are collapsing, as people care more and more about the material values, but there is hope for everything. There is always possibility to rebuild a new system, to adept the institutions to the new needs, on the ruins of the old ones, as there is a strong base what can be used. If people, especially the youngsters would be willing to find balance between the personal and material values and needs, the collapse could be transformed into innovation and redefinition.

It doesn't hurt anymore

       Loss has always bipolar consequences: negative and positive. Of course, the negative side is what we experience first. It implies usually sufferance, regret, remorse, blame, crying and other manifestations of this sad event, meaning losing somebody. I refer here, both on break up and departure from this world. The positive side will be understood just after the pain is gone and the person is healed. In that moment can appear the revelation of the beneficial consequences, I mean all the things what that distress taught and revealed about life and the subject's personality.
      Losing a beloved person forever is the worst what can happen, most of the people it experiences it as a tragedy. This is a theme what I still feel a blind alley, I have my way to deal with death, but I don't think that this is a subject I want to amplify. Grief is very personal, different for everybody, but believing that existence is something eternal and constant and death is just the passing to another level of it, can help to let go and transform grief in preservation of the beloved's memory.
      Losing the centre of one's life, interest and existence is different story. However everybody should consider himself or herself lucky if he/she found at least once the person who became the centre of his/her life. I feel also grateful for this, because I had the privilege to find love for a quite long time. However, I feel also lucky and grateful that I was able to let him go, in fact that I was able to realize that the relationship had to end when the right time came for that. After a blissful time spent together, I can say that I remained not just with many beautiful memories, but also with many lessons.
       Every separation, indifferently if it was friendly or not, should result a redefinition of goals and dreams. At least it was like this in my case, and actually it was a process which started already when the relationship wasn't finished yet. However, losing the person on who I had focused all my attention, around who I tried to organize all my plans, was complicated, because I had to fight with myself, with that side of me who was living in a detached world, not willing to see reality. But this was the right way, I realized it with quite long time after that. I had to fight my inner war, and I won it. After the pain was gone, there weren't remorse or blames, I understood how beneficial was that person in my life, and his important role in my self-improvement. I had to realize all the mistakes I did, all the faults I had, without blaming him for more than he was responsible. and this conciousness made me to want to change...and I changed, almost in every aspect I feel that things got better, and the most important, I got "better".
      In the moment when someone can admit "It doesn't hurt any more" the miracle will happen. It is like a liberation from guilt, false hopes, accusations and sadness. The most important lesson for every girl could be that we don't need a man to be our life, but we need a man who completes our life. But until that person will appear our existence will be more than fine with our goals and dreams, working for them, trying to fulfil them.
        Life can be so much interesting, surprising, magical and funny, if we let it to be so. Some lessons made me aware of this, which key thoughts I will preserve in this post:
SMILE AS MUCH YOU CAN.
BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING.
BANISH SADNESS WHENEVER APPEARS.
APPRECIATE EVERY PERSON WHO ENTERS IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE A ROLE IN IT.
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT ENDS.
PATIENCE IS A POWER AND HELPS TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS.
KINDNESS DOESN'T COST NOTHING BUT IT CAN MEAN VERY MUCH FOR THOSE WHO RECEIVE IT.
...
(this list will be completed whenever I get a new lesson)

Wonderful good morning


     In all this time I was absent from my blog, I missed to write, but I knew that the inspiration must come. I thought that a great event, or a great person will be the launching force of my creativity. I felt very often in the last months that I have so many things to say and to share, but somehow something stopped me from sitting down and put in words what I feel. Even the attempts to immortalize the events or feelings in my journal were few and kind of useless.
     But now, here I am, in a regular Tuesday morning, starting what I'm planning for almost a month, from the time I got home and I decided that I will change my life. There is no great event, no great person, just the desire to accomplish and put in practice all the motivational things I read, saw and I was taught, because without practice they don't have value. As soon as I decided to pass on the nex level and practice all for what I say "Life is worthy to live" inspiration just bumped into my mind. It was enough just a great, positive start of a beautiful morning. The greeting of the the morning with a motivating meditation, which brought the missing sunshine into the dark winter dawn, in combination with an energizing yoga session is my perfect recipe for this morning.
    A good start is the key to a great day, and I'm sure that all the things I want to do today will go smoothly and at the end of the day I can go to bed pleased. This fulfillment will be completed by some new posts in this blog, as I have so many things to share and to transmit.
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY FILLED WITH POSITIVE AND PEACEFUL THOUGHTS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE UNIMAGINABLE CREATIVE AND MATERIALIZING POWER.

Some people deserve what they got

Hello
I want to write about lies and liars because in the last time I had a revelation of a series of lies which outraged me and even though this didn't leave any harms in my life I just can't let unexpressed my impressions regarding this.
The biggest disappointment can be caused by people from who we expect the least the inappropriate comportment or attitude. I should have had the intuition that there is something wrong with somebody who is considered a person with the best intentions and sentiments by everybody around him. That is quite unreal nowadays. After I found out some events from his life which I considered very tough and I would never forgive or pass over what another person did to him, but he did and reacted very good, I started to get convinced that actually he is really a good person.
I don't want to overcharge this post with more details, so you will have to believe me that he played very authentically the role of a good, caring, patient and kind man. However this theater didn't last long and after a few suspect signs I wanted explanations and asked for concrete decisions. This was my test and he totally failed it. I knew that if he was honest than I will get some logic explanation and things will get better, but if my suspicions were right than he will give me some vague answer and leave. The disappointment started from here as he wasn't able even to invent something and got very confused with my demand. All my interest was gone, and later on he lost any respect and consideration I had for him.
The only thing what I would appreciate in him now is the acting talent, because he was able to create and maintain the image of a quiet, nice and good person, when actually he has no character, principles and courage to assume his faults and wishes. I didn't realize why he avoided me even when we were obliged to stay nearby each other as I never wished to speak with him anymore and I didn't really had resentments for him. Just a few days ago I found out the truth and understood how coward he is and what a weak personality with lack of honesty he has. In that moment my rage was awakened as I never deserved to be lied by a person who got the worst from another woman. He deserved all what he got and what he will get from the same person in the future.

Discovering a new favourite writer-Isabel Allende

I'm choosing carefully my favorite writers, and I prefer usually to read several works before listing him/her as one of my favorites, but it seems that I just picked up the right novel from Isabel Allende. However, I'm sure that very soon i will read more from her works as with the first one my attention was captivated and I can state that she is a great novelist. This feminist writer is from Chile, but living nowadays in California, had an interesting and adventurous life, she is a wife, mother, grandmother, friend and last but not least a successful, bestselling author. According to her, in every novel she is exploring a part of herself, in every story lies something more or less from her life or her personality.
I have just finished her novel entitled 'The Sum of Our Days' and it had a great impact on me. Isabel Allende has the gift to tell some facts which will become personal for the reader, will make him/her to think, to see life with different eyes and to be more grateful for what he/she has. This impressive memoir presents her family, each member having a very complex personality, sometimes even scandalous, though they are a great team, a 'tribe', as the writer defines it.
The narrative is very vivacious, giving an insight to the sorrows and joys of this unique family. It presents different moments of their lives, being very much concentrated on the pain of losing the beloved Paula, Isabel's daughter, to whom she is addressing directly in the novel very often. Sometimes it seems as a letter to Paula, telling what happened after her departure.
'The Sum of Our Days' is not a good memoir to read, it is an example of how to go on in life after a big loss, how to remember and have the memory of the beloved dead person with you every day without feeling pain, but acceptance, it is an experience of life. She writes about love, death, spiritualism, drug addiction and other aspects of life without making judgement, but making to reflect. Reading this novel wasn't just a lecture, it was an experience, and my next acquisition will be Isabel's novel 'Paula', written in the memory of her dead daughter, because I'm sure that she has very much more to offer with every novel, and especially with the memoir of her daughter.

A captivating novel - The Aviary Gate

      I read this novel two years ago, after I discovered it in the small town-library from Beaconsfield. It catches my eyes and as I saw in the short presentation from the cover of the book that it is based on Oriental historical events, I took it immediately. It was a very good decision, because even after two years I consider it a great book, and I recommend it. One of my friends mentioned that she is reading it and it is a wonderful lecture, so I decided to write down some ideas, because it would be a waste to lose them.
      The novel is structured in two stories, on different temporal, spacial levels and of different cultural backgrounds. It gives an insight to the exotic and mysterious world of the sultan's harem in Istanbul from the year 1599, but also in the dilemmas of the modern life in England. Both stories are built around two female characters, who lived in different epochs, different cultures, one represents the woman of the past and the other is the example of the contemporary woman,  and had totally different fates, but the narrative brings their lives very close at a certain moment.
      Reading this novel is like a constant travel in time. The temporal contrast is very well accentuated by the two women, Celia and Elisabeth. Curiously, their characters are not realized with the same intensity. We will discover a well-built and tragic character in Celia, but Elisabet's characterization is fade, indirect, the reader has to discover independent her personality. Celia's story dominates the narrative, Elisabet's is quite sketchy, spiced with romance.The differences won't stop here. Istanbul, the city has an important role in the lives of these women. For Celia it means slavery and she will find her tragic end there, but for Elisabeth it is a place for escape, for discovery and romance.
      After a shocking beginning, the book captivates the attention providing interesting details from the Oriental world and culture. We get a vivid picture of the seclusion of the harem, giving the impression of realism. The reader enters to a forbidden place, where almost nobody had access. It is a mysterious place webbed with intrigues, gossip, drama, hopelessness and betray.
      'The Aviary Gate is an impressing, captivating novel, which offers an exquisite travel in time, space and culture.
