No Lists, No Resolutions, No Pressure, No Disappointments, No Competition


The end of the year is seriously approaching and many will be busy making a new year’s resolution list and excited to set goals for the year to come.


I don’t believe in that and I never did. However, I do believe in our freedom to disagree, to fail, to try harder, to try again, and to give up.


Yes, this is pure freedom.


No lists to be able to cope with life’s surprises, no resolutions to be proud of who we are now and to accept today’s desires and moves, no pressure to avoid frustration, anger and feeling insecure, no disappointments to keep loving who we are now and much more, and finally, no competition because differences are our strengths, because your uniqueness makes the world.


We shouldn’t get fooled by society’s new standards and bullshit trends. You are who you are, and you are the most important thing in your own life, in your own truth.


This solo expedition in Africa and now in the Middle East helps me to realise how real is the truth. And the truth lies in the present moment.


Never stop trying being the hero, YOUR hero. You are much more important than you think.

We should forget the lists and the resolutions, but we should BE instead, we should BE and exist for real.


Our biggest love story is with that imperfect soul with qualities, and it’s precious. That imperfect soul the world needs.


Another utopist post, I admit, but I needed to share it with you.
