A new day …. why does it look so
illusory as the day before?!
I woke up and i had the weird feeling that today is going to be like the day before.
And even worst …it’s like i woke from dreaming … but i still dream.
Deep inside me i actually felt that everything it’s all so damn illusory.
I was living the same scenario day and night … and it was all so … annoying.
I could not see anymore the difference between the illusory world when i was sleeping … and what i used to define as … reality.
But asking more and more … why do i live this script on and on and on … i realized in the end that deep inside me i refused the idea of … change.
I felt safe … in my confort zone.
I liked it.
I did not loved it … but i liked it.
Somehow i generated this continuity between me and day and night.
You see … the script itself … it was not bad … but boring.
And started to be even more boring.
Days and night were passing …. and …
I continued having this weird feeling my life is so damn

One day … i’ve asked myself … what if i start to change something at this cyclic scenario?! But how?!
I started to feel like i am in the illusion of … being part of an illusion.
But was the illusion … the script itself … or my perception about this script?!
I begun to feel even more weird … and defined myself as the prisoner of … time.
Something was indeed … wrong.
Well … it was actually the fact that … i accepted it a lifetime
and even if it was so damn boring …. I felt safe like that. So bottomline …. boring, but safe … which actually meant that i was living in my soul …. with the fear … of living.
And maybe it was not the illusion of being part of an illusion
but a lifestyle based on … illusions that will keep me …. safe … in that weird universe.
I defined so much this illusory concept of … illusions … that in the end i realized the fact that my mind was kind of a factory of illusions … and i was the one that i generating, but also consuming them.
And days were passing … and all of them looked the same … and it was all like that cause …. I had this stupid fear of living other scenarios too.
My mind was capable of doing that … but my soul was …. just afraid.
I was so damn idiot ….
Maybe only this feeling of being bored … might give me the chance of wanting to stop living in such … illusory way.

The illusion of more … a disease that i could never get rid of
In my book “Analyze, define, redefine” … i tried to come with this concept of understanding ourselves … who we are, what we want, why we act in the way we act on the stage of life etc etc
It’s actually a way … of starting a … self therapy.
And my personal belief is that … it’s a trick that really works. Today, looking back into my past, after meditating a lot about my life … i realize the method is just … great.
The only difficult part was to understand … i should be very honest with myself.
Looking into my soul … just like i was looking into a spiritual mirror … analyzing and defining myself … i started to see lots of things i like … but also things that i … totally dislike.
Little by little … i began to understand my soul … and realized i am obsessed of the desire of more.
All what i was doing … somehow believing that i don’t have enough time … was to follow the path of more and more … and more.
It was more a disease than a … habit, but it was … me … and looked like i could not get rid of acting like that. I started to understand myself.
Then … i started to accept myself … to embrace all related with my being, realizing i am on a the timeline … of a specific

lesson of life.
But what more … meant?!
What was it … its meaning?!
Why did i chased so much for more and more and more … in all what i was doing?!
I was acting like a champion that had to prove all the time …
something …
Something .. what?!
I could not understand … the meaning.
But one day … the message came to me.
I was just trying to fulfill that … empty space … from my soul
but most probably my soul was kind of a back whole, cause no matter how “more” it was … it was all useless.
I simple had to stop to fulfill that empty tank used for illusory emotions … by such a long, long time.
I analyzed a lot.
I defined everything from one million … perspectives. But … i could not redefine … my life.
And it was so damn … simple.
Most probably i simple had to ignore this disease of more … and also that black whole from my soul … but … i did not knew … how.

If you know to bring joy … you are qualified as the best partner a lady can have
My friend Tom, which is much younger as me, but still a mature person … is making me smile all the time telling me about his blind dates.
Tom dated so many ladies that i could say that any man … would define as a … champion.
Going out with Tom and my other friends … we even asked ourselves how can he connect so easily to those ladies. You see … the guy has a very simple job, dress in a very simple mode … and does not have a very fancy car … so that the ladies to be attracted by those things right away. Basically Tom is a very simple man … but ….
Well … after discussing a lot … why the hell other guys from our group, that invested a lot in personal marketing ….
dressing in a very nice way, having expensive cars … but also being very successful in their careers … don’t have the same success …. we realized that Tom know to make all those ladies to … laugh.
Takes them out to very beautiful coffee shops … places that he already knows that they have a great vibe … and somehow acting like a stand up comedian …. Tom makes the lady that he dates with … smile or laugh all the time.
The ladies feel … great.

A date … of 2-3 hours it’s like a real therapy for their souls. And to tell you the truth all the other guys from our group … are somehow jealous on Tom … not understanding how the hell a simple guy as him, not having anything special … can have such a tremendous success on ladies. They even defined it as … a total nonsense.
Every time we go out … drinking beer with all those friends of mine … hearing all this large spectrum of illusory perceptions … about how we can attract ladies … i smile.
Probably the best of us remains Tom …. cause he understood
long, long time ago that making the other souls smile or even laugh all the time … in fact inducing them feelings of joy
that real joy of being alive and actually connect to the present moment … makes him be … the best partner a lady can have.
You see … any soul from this plannet is chasing for … joy … and we get it so damn hard … so …

We are forcing ourselves to act as Sisyphus … for … nothing.
All those illusory forces that dominate us … are actually induced … by us …
I believe everyone knows the story with Sisyphus.
He was a cruel Greek king who was punished to push a large rock up on a steep hill, only to find it rolling back on nearing the top. Ever since, he has been known for pushing the rock tirelessly till eternity.
But what it’s funny … is that today … i look all around myself
and i see so many people look like being in that Sisyphus’s story.
And i use the term … funny … cause in that illusion of the inner self … all those people …. and unfortunately i see myself here also ... somehow believe that their life’s paths … are motivational.
I hear on million reasons … of why they do what they do. And another one million reasons … from myself also. Drinking a coffee with Paul … i ask … “who the hell is forcing us to believe that we need to follow those difficult paths?! Why do we need more and more in life?!
Why we invented … motivation?!
Why do we believe so much in this illusory concept?! Why we make so many sacrifices?!”

Paul smiles … believing … same as myself … that life itself ….
is so damn illusory … saying … “Well … i believe that the difference between us and Sisyphus is … huge. He was forces by the gods to push a large rock up on a steep hill …. on and
on and on … but we are so idiots … that we push ourselves to do that.
The inner god … the self … is forcing us to live a life … that looks a lot with an eternal battle.
We name it … motivation … but it’s just the desire for more and more.
And we simple can’t understand we need so little things in life to be … happy.”

I have a similar door … but
can’t see a similar lady … at my property
Paul sent me a nice tik tok with a beautiful lady … looking a little bit … lost.
Ironically ….he’s telling me … “I believe you have a similar
door like that”.
I smiled … understanding that the real message was … “such a beautiful lady … feeling so lost … maybe near your property.”
Like all the others men over 40 … we mainly lose our time talking and making fun about … this huge subject named … ladies.
You might say … “so … illusory”.
But may i ask … why?!
Well … today i might even say … in front of the public that … we even consider kind of an art the fact that we admire ladies … so, so much.
Naming illusory, something that indeed looks so … illusory … it’s quite silly.
Before 40 … we paid a lot of attention at success, money, real estate and any other types of businesses … but we decided to simple stop … and chase for beautiful vibes. Looking and admiring those ladies … becomes similar with … Hahaha ….

The Universe is speaking in your language all the time
One year ago … i could almost say that i had a karmic year.
Lots of ugly things happened to me.
In fact i could even say that it was … horrible.
Every morning i was wondering myself … what the hell is going to happen today?!
And it was happing like that …. on and on and on.
But it was all so funny cause i was writing books about how reality is influenced by invisible forces … and i was actually not understanding the fact that the Universe was trying to whisper me something.
Time was passing and the nightmare did not disappeared … until one day when i somehow understood the fact that no matter what happened it was all something … illusory.
I realized that any of the situations …even if looked so dramatic … it actually never had an ugly end.
It was all like a lesson … carrying a very powerful message …. but i could not understand anything.
Or … i was in fact … refusing to see that message.
But the Universe continued to talk to me …. on my language.
It was all related with my real estate investments, cause at that time i was not seeing something else than that.
It took a huge time to realize that it was all a lesson and

even when i saw that … still … i was not accepting it.
The karmic year … the illusion of the drama … had the simple purpose to tell me something, but i was so silly that even if the message was so repetitive … i refused to analyze deeper. I believed in the drama … not in the lesson, even if the Universe was speaking … on my language. Today … i simple smile.
I look back in time … and i laugh of myself, realizing how idiot i could me.
I wrote a book with the title “Analyze. Define. Redefine”, but when it came to myself … i was acting like a person suffering of spiritual blindness.

My soul in pain … or just an illusory thought?!
“A soul in pain
He lives but hardly talks
He’s waiting for her
In front of this old photo
He, he isn’t crazy
He believes in it
He sees her everywhere
He is waiting for her standing
A rose in his hand
Apart from her
He is expecting nothing”
I was watching the song “Indila - lova story” … on and on and on.
… but i did not knew why.
Then …. I found the lyrics in english and i understood it.
It was a song about … love and our … souls.
I wrote so many damn books about love … but most probably i just had the illusion that i know anything about the subject. But the vibe of the song … made me feel again things from my illusory past.
And i started to ask myself … is love an illusion or the real path that we should follow in life?!

While listening the song, even if i totally forgot my french … so beautiful memories came again into my heart …. and i
could not stop asking myself … why the hell do i care about those feelings … so, so much?!
Well … i actually knew the answer … but… i was avoiding to define it …
You see … life is a long journey … and there are moments when we connect to amazing vibes … like the one of love. We live the story … then everything goes to an end.
Only the memory itself remains into the heart, but the soul … remains in pain.
After meeting such a great joy … nothing can replace … that story.
And indeed, in front of an old photo … even if we might look crazy … we wait … and wait …
