INTRODUCTION
The painter that never paints
Unfortunately many times in my life, i was acting as my friend ... the painter ... that painter that was never painting
It was Paris ... about 4-5 years ago.
Someone introduced me a lady, which was a painter ... a
very smart lady ... a genius i could say and it was a pleasure
to spent time with her.
We became friends.
We started to go out everyday to the amazing coffees shops from the central area ... the ones close to the Seine and we were talking for hours.
She was telling me about her next paintings and was describing me in tiny details all the elements of the scenes. Had an amazing way of talking ... but also knew a lot about art.
In few weeks ... me ... a guy that did not knew anything about art, started to understand what is the whole meaning of art in our lives.
Soon i understand that she is not painting anymore, cause, for the moment, she does not have the necessary money for

painting materials .... and right away i give her an amount
that she could start again.
I also promise her to not worry, cause i will give as much as she needs to continue her work.
Few days later, i dare to ask her if she started to work on the paintings that she was telling me about ... and suddenly she became very annoyed.
Not understanding what is really going on ... being a polite person ... i succeed to change the subject and we continued in a nice way our conversation while drinking the amazing parisian coffee, but few days later i ask her again the same question.
Suddenly she changed her face and became so angry that i thought for a second that she wants to ... kill me. I could not understand what was wrong.
I was asking a painter if she was started to paint ... cause now she had the money for the materials.
Again i succeed to avoid the useless conflict with her, but going to her apartment, which was small like any parisian apartment ... i see no painting materials.
In the end she tells me that the materials will come in few more days, cause it was a delay to her order, but also asks if i can give her some extra money, for another order also.
I smile ... cause in Paris you find painting materials in the city center and she could buy them right away ... but i give her the money she asked for.
Before leaving the apartment, in the last second ... i see drugs on the small table from the entrance.
I smile again ... and understood she used the money to buy drugs instead of materials.

I saw at her house about 15 paintings and indeed she was a great painter, but she was the painter that was actually never painted.
I leave ... and i get mad.
It was all a trap.
I was fooled like a 5 years old kid by this lady and actually i was helping her to take drugs ... without realizing not even for a second what i am doing.
She called me later on ... 100 times, but never answer her back.
Even told me that she will go to the Police to make a complain against me ... but could not clearly understand why.
One year later, i accidentally meet her near the Opera ... and she was pretending that she did not knew my name anymore.
I smile ... we exchange 2-3 words and i leave.
But one day, 2 years later ... i was meditating again over the subject for about 2 weeks.
Something was unclear for me ... and did not knew what and why.
I judged her too much ... but maybe i was also the painter that never paints ... many, many, many times in my life. My parents supported me to study at the University of Polytechnics ... but i was not going to courses and instead i was losing my time in the coffee shops all day long.
I was the student that never went to classes ... and i was doing same as the painter that was never painting.
I complete University, i open a company and i had so many clients that sometimes i took money from my clients, spent

them ... and forget to deliver the promised services to the clients.
It was such a chaos at that time, that it was a total mess with the orders ... so ... i was doing what??!
I was the businessman that promised to deliver some services that were never delivered.
I was judging the painter ... but i was worst as her.
The list with my silly mistakes from life ... was huge.
I remember i read hundreds of books of personal growth ... and one day i even read a lot about management if
conflicts ... and guess what i did next after i finished studying that subject?!
I laugh ... while writing to you ... cause what i did was that i had more and more useless conflicts with the people from my life.
So ... the best definition of myself could probably be the same as that silly lady ... the painter that never paints.

Don’t bother to change people. Just show them with your finger ... the path you were talking about and leave
Lots of people dream today to become influencers ... and when i say influencer, i mean a person that can influence especially the people from their lives.
They give an advice to the sister, to the neighbor, to the colleague from work ... and one day they start to give advices to everybody around.
They could even be named the deposit with advices, cause no matter when you will ask something, or whatever advice you need ... that person will let you know what you have to do.
Becomes kind of a ... path finders ... for any problem you would need.
But the question is ... is it good to give people advices all the time?!
Would the person that gives the advice follow those advices for his own life?!
Are we talking about theoretical concepts ... or real paths to follow?!
How’s that everybody is an expert in advices .... but all
around us, if we start chatting to talk deeply with people

about their lives ... we just see chaos everywhere.
It’s kind of a non sense ... but what is funny is that no one is thinking of giving you the real trick about how to find the path.
We just give advices ... as experts ... advices that we should never follow for our lives.
I suffer of this disease of giving advices also ... but by not such a long time ... i succeeded to change a little bit the script.
I tell people ... “Listen! This is how i see things, this might probably be the path, but to be sure you can follow a new path ... and not actually go on a pathless path ... you need to learn to connect to the inner self and ask your soul, which is actually the gateway to the Universe ... if you are on the right direction.
If your soul says ... yes ... just do it without thinking anymore.
If you have any doubt ... just stop and do nothing, cause the right time did not came yet.”
I just show them with my finger the path and leave ... and don’t even ask myself if i would follow that path ... because i know i have moments when i prove i am courageous, but also lots of moments when i am a coward.

Forced to stay in kind of a prison ... not having what to do they started to ... chat and connected to each other
A father and his 2 sons had to go in a trip by train for about 25 hours.
It was a very long trip, but an important one, cause the father had to have a surgery in Vienna. He was calm ... but his 2 boys not.
No one was saying anything ... just staying and watch the window into their drawing room train.
After few hours ... the silence became annoying.
All of them liked to socialize with other people ... but they were not doing it when they were together.
It was like the connection of communication was cut off ...
but no one knew why.
The room from the train was so small ... that was creating the feeling of a prison cell.
But ... suddenly something happened and they started to chat.
They began to tell stories that happened many years ago ...
and started to laugh a lot.
In fact ... they could not stop laughing.

After so many years ... they had again a moment of connection as a family, but somehow only because they were forced to stay for 25 hours into kind of prison cell, where the only thing they could do was ... to chat.
The conversation was amazing and they realized they have great memories together ... but they just forgot about them. The train stops to Vienna ... the surgery went well .... and
father lives another 9 years .... but they never had the
chance to chat again like in that day.
It was somehow ... funny ... cause the Universe forced them to connect ... and they had so, so many things to talk about ... but could not understand the message.
They lived ... without interacting one to each other ... even if they cared one of another ... and they knew what they had to do ... to be a great family.
9 years later ... father dies ... and the connection is cut again ... completely.
You see ... unfortunately ... the Universe shows us the paths ... and there are many, many occasions when we just know what we have to do ... but we ignore everything ... and we spoil life as idiots.
And same as the guys from the story ... the script is followed by many of us.

It looked like he was in perfect shape by a very long time.
He had arranged all the aspects of his life ... except one ...
his soul.
He felt lost ... but lost from his soul.
He knew that the feeling of emptiness from inside of him will not disappear ... unless he will not run away by his soul ... but he was still delaying everything.
Her friend ... that lady that was feeling so well the dance of energies ... told him few times to pay attention to the details, cause there is not so much time left. The delaying needed to stop.
But he was feeling lost .... and was remaining lost.
He knew that his lady friend was right ... cause he was feeling the same.
He could clearly see the path to his soul ... and all he needed to do was to embrace his inner self.
Nothing more .... nothing less.

It was a process of accepting, embracing ... and continuing life together ... counting one on another.
But ... still he was not doing it ... even if that was so simple and the process itself could change his life into a beautiful way.
Remaining lost ... was for him a way of living life, even if he knew all what he had to do.
But same as him ... most of us do the same.
If you randomly ask someone that has problems what has to do, you will see that knows perfectly what he must do, but ...
if you watch that person acting on the timeline of his life, you will be amazed ... seeing how silly he acts.
And most of us do the same and in the end we just ....
remain lost.

“I will not lie that i would ever fall in love with a guy that has a cheap car”
Recently saw a funny movie on social media with a star that was explaining why she would never fall in love with a guy with a cheap car.
In her vision ... the car is extremely important and is letting the others know if we are a powerful person ... or just an ordinary being.
And being near a very simple person ... was not so interesting for her.
The funny thing is that in the movie she even named the car that she hates ... and that was exactly my car.
I was laughing ... but still i didn’t feel so offended ... cause i have 2 cars ... a beautiful one and an ugly one.
I don’t use to study the opulence ... but you can only smile when you see non values as this lady, which is actually very well known in my country ... creating so powerful trends. But at least she was ... honest.
She loves the expensive cars, luxury houses ... money ...
and everything means power and opulence.
She wants the best life can offer to a human being .... and
being a star ... and a very beautiful woman ... in my opinion she is exactly the expression of what the motivational quotes

and movies are telling us that the amazing success is.
But what it also funny is that my brother sold to her and her spouse a very expensive house ... a luxurious mansion ... spanish style.
Her spouse was acting as a very successful businessman, but in fact he was a pimp and a drug dealer .... and was beating her all the time.
She ended the story with this guy that had Lamborghini, Rolls, Bentley and private jet ... because she was terrified with the life she had with him.
But still ... on tv ... she was explaining and trying to convince all the other ladies ... that the car is extremely important when you choose a new partner. She said nothing about love.
Nothing about the connection between the other soul. Nothing ... about values ... or at least liking each other And i wonder myself if Lamborghini is so important ... how she was feeling when the drug dealer was beating her ... she was still keeping in her mind the next ride with all those expensive cars, so that she can handle much easier the pain?!
