What ordinary people feel on monday when they push the snooze button on the phone alarm?!
It’s a strange pain ... that is not fair cause is monday ... and work must start again.
But the people of success ... instead of feeling this pain ... they prepare to enjoy
the new day that comes.
It’s kind of a paradox.
They could decide to have a vacation anytime they would want ... and wake up at 11 am ... or even at 2 pm, but they decided to start the day before all the others that work for them.
They actually try to connect to the new day ... and they do it with success almost all the times ... cause they are people of great success.
They believe in the power of visualization the new day ... and expect as great things to appear for them.
You see ... trying to connect to a beautiful planed future is the key to have the dreamed life ... and the change will appear when you will see everything in your mind, but also feel it in your soul.
The art of changing reality .... is maybe the habit of expecting great things to
happen.

The end of that story might not be the end
of that chapter from your life.
Real change comes when you will
understand the message behind the message
When it comes about big changes that the Universe wants us to do ... everything becomes sometimes ... a nightmare.
Because we delay too much things ... in the end you will see yourself paying a price 2-3 times more of what you had to pay.
I learned so many times that delaying is not the right option ... but i still have this bad habit since i was in school.
I finished school ... and then i had to deal with the school of life ... and every time i delay something ... i already know i will pay an extra price for that.
And i believe that life is split into different chapters ... like school, love, job etc etc.
And inside the chapters you might see different stories with the same subject. For example ... you are young ... and it happens that you met lots of girls. You start a love story ... then another one ... and another one ... and another one.
At one point, you just realize that the chapter love ... is a chapter with many love stories and in the moment you understand what love is about ... you will be in the right non ending love story.
If one of the things you will need to understand in this life ... is love ... the love chapter will be one with many love stories or an intense love story with many, many episodes ... till the moment when you will get the message behind the message.
The history is repeated only cause we missed seeing the important things.
And if the Universe sees that you don’t understand the real message ... will get a little bit angry ... and the exams will become more and more difficult.
So ... you should never believe that the end of the story is the end of that chapter from your life ... but we should trust the Universe.
We might call it divine forces ... or destiny ... but we should trust that ... whatever happens ... it just happens for a reason ... and the real reason is to become better souls.

Dreaming is not enough.
Believing is ... the key
Long time ago ... i met a beautiful girl ... 21 ... intelligent ... with a beautiful smile ... and in fact when you were looking at her, you could believe you are in front of a hollywood star.
She was from the country side ... but she had deep inside her that desire of a big quantum jump.
Just looking in her eyes ... you could see that she going to be someone important during this life time.
She was a a simple girl .... but she had an amazing vibe all the time.
Anyone could understand she was ... so special.
Somehow ... one year after i met her ... i presented her to a dear friend of mine ... and they started a relationship togheter.
The beautiful young girl ... had so, so many desires ... that we used to call her the princess of desires.
She wanted a dog ... she wanted money ... she wanted beautiful clothes ... she wanted the best a woman can have during this lifetime.
The funny thing was that for my dear friend ... even if he acted like being an ordinary person ... a nobody how we used to say ... all those desires were a joke. He could accomplish everything she ever wanted in a second. He was the perfect man ... at the perfect time for her.
And one day she had the idea that she will become a model ... and we arranged the things so that she will be a model right away ... at the best fashion shows from the country.
But my friend was meditating and was saying to her “... it’s not enough ... let’s try also Milano, London ... New York.
You must go at the best fashion shows in the world ... and i can arrange all of these for you.”
But something funny happened meanwhile ... they went with her little dog ...
bought by my friend ... at the vet.
The dog had a small medical problem and they tried to find a vet in the midnight ... and they found him.

She took his number ... and fell in love with the nice young vet, who was also the owner of the clinic.
My friend found out and tried something else also ... to send her to Hollywood. The vet ... hired her as a cashier at the petshop ... and guess what happened?! The beautiful girl, that had so, so many desires ... that expected so much from life ... what did she chose between going to Hollywood ... and actually making a quantum jump ... and be a cashier to the pershop, but also the girlfriend of the owner of the clinic?!
We actually thought she was blinded by something ... but she refused to go to Hollywood and preferred the petshop.
Was very difficult to understand her at that time ... but i was not meditating enough at what the concept of change means.
She had the things arranged so that she should meet with Sylverster Stallone ...
but being a simple cashier ... was more real.
Today i think is not enough to dream big ... but you also need to believe with all your heart.
Real big changes requires a powerful connection between the mind and the soul.
And believing ... is the real key.

For a big change in your life ... avoid all the people that analyze your actions
Sometimes in life ... you will need to understand that how you connect to the people around you ... you can also disconnect from them ... but also re connect anytime you want in the future.
People have the habit of seeing you in a specific way .... and seeing a change will
intrigue them ... especially when that kind of change is not so easy to be implemented for them.
They will analyze your actions ... and will discuss with you and the others about what and why is happening.
And sometimes will even look as a .. trial ... and you might need to come with serious answers.
Questions as ... “Who do you think you are?!” ... “Have you lost you minds?!” ... will be part of what you will hear from all those people that will act as real judges of your life.
They will be close friends, familly members or even people that you know by a short time ... but they all might have this idea that they have the right to analyze your trend for change.
The whole picture is like ... you say ... “Yes, i can!” ... and they say ... “No, you can’t!”.
And i wonder why we should let them ... tell us what we can do and what we can’t do?!
Yes ... even if they are family members.
Usually what other people say ... is according with their standards ... and i ask ...
why we should accept their standards as our own standards?!
And of course you won’t be able to get rid of all those people from your life, but you can avoid them for a while ... at least till you succeed to implement the change in the way you want.
Somehow the start will be easy ... but their negativity will have a huge impact on you if you let them analyze your actions. So ... what is the trick?!
You can’t get rid of your mother and sister ... or the friend from school that lives now across the street ... but you can start thinking more about your right to be

whoever your want to be.
The simple trick can be ... just don’t tell them anything about change ... or avoid it as much as you can.
And if you can just disconnect for a while from them should be fantastic.
This way ... they will have no impact on you ... but this will happen only from the moment when you will understand that ... no one has the right to stop you from changing your life.
Learn the trick to wear the old mask and the new mask ... according where you are and who you speak with.

Relationships should give us
power ... not limit us
Today i have the courage to affirm that you can define a relationship in a positive or negative way ... according to what is going on in all the areas of your life. And also ... on the freedom you have ... to be whoever you want to be.
For example ... a dear friend of mine, who tells me the truth right away ... just told me few days ago:
“I am sorry to tell you ... you have an amazing house by the lake side ... but you actually live in Republic of China ... ohh noo ... i am sorry ... in North Korea!”.
This was for sure a remark for my wife ... cause i actually don’t live in North Korea ... and i just smiled an agreed with him.
You see ... as change to appear in your life, in the way you dream about it ... you need to forget about being limited by you or by the others around you.
And usually the partner is the one that have a huge impact on your thinking, behavior and all your important actions.
And if your partner limit your freedom of action ... you will not be yourself and you won’t be able to act at the level of your full potential.
The couple, the concept of US ... is an important one ... but we should also not lose ourselves as individual souls.
In a great relationship ... you will see greatness on all the areas of your life ...
and you will also see a positive change all the time.
Being limited by someone ... “living in North Korea” ... as my friend defined my relationship with my wife ... will not let you be the one you need to be during this lifetime.
But remember ... slavery is not anymore part of the modern society and too many people died for freedom ... as us ... in the 21st century to live in “private prisons” ... called homes.
Just reaffirm your rights as individual and remember that a great relationship should give us power ... not limit us.

The change is the bridge between who you are and who you dream to be
To be in life at your full potential, you need to believe in the concept of change. And you can actually be whoever you want to be in life ... but probably you should meditate long before you think of starting the process of a big change. Today ... i see all around me people that think that ... change ... is equivalent with winning the big prize at the lottery.
And it’s not about positivity and negativity ... is just the belief that real change is something illusory ... and the chance as it to happen are close to zero.
People with a good vibe all the time ... smiley faces ... that are optimistic all the time ... can’t believe that changes at 180 degrees are possible. And i wonder ... why?!
Many, many years ago ... i met a very powerful guy ... that was a great businessman involved also in real estate.
Later on i discovered that he was also a pimp ... but not any kind of pimp.
He was probably at that time the greatest from Europe, cause he was controlling the luxury market.
In the real world he was a real estate investor ... and in the underground world ...
a pimp.
I somehow learned a lot from him ... while interacting ... and being very young at that time ... i even saw him as a mentor.
I know it sounds strange ... but he had such a powerful personality that he could influence anyone around.
I believe he was kind of the guy ... that would impress even the president of the country.
... but later on, as all the bad guys ... he was arrested for about a year.
We haven’t spoke for years ... till one day when he called me from Paris ... asking me to help him with something.
This time he had few restaurants in Paris, got married, had a daughter ... had a new life.
He was again a guy involved in real estate.
We spoke a lot ... and i even asked him if he is still the greatest pimp from the Europe.

... and he replied ...”My dear friend ... people have the power to change ... but you need to believe again in them”.
Today ... i believe in change ... and i also believe that the change is the bridge between who you are and who you dream to be. ... but you need to believe!

The abstract behavior
... the way of hiding the change
In the communist era ... everything meant art was abstract.
The artists that wanted to send a powerful message ... always had in mind the abstract way of communicating it.
This is how ... everything was hided ... and the communist party was not saying anything against them.
But the message was so well hided ... that in the end the artist could ask himself if the people watching their art would really understand the message behind the message.
In the same way ... there are many people ... that see today near them ... “the communist party” ... and know very well that the idea of change will not be seen as something good.
... and they start having an abstract behavior.
They will dress in a strange way, they will speak in a strange way ... they will react even to simple things in a strange way ... but everything will be so abstract that you will not know what is really going on for sure.
