Coming back in our country ... he missed a lot the beautiful Paris ... but not its standards for living, cause his father owned a big villa in our city.
But again ... i am amazed that so many, many people were making fun of the 11 sqm studio. Everyone saw it ... as a nonsense.
The impact of presenting this studio into the market ... was amazing.
Tens of thousands of people were ... making fun of it ... but if we analyze the past ... and also if we should compare those standards with the ones from Paris, London etc ... i believe everything is just a perspective.
Yes ... truth be told ... we don’t like other standards except the ones that we love ... but we are somehow forced to get back to them ... or simple readapt to totally new concepts.
... and i realize we react in a weird way to any type of new story that is presented to us.
But i smile ... then laugh ... reading what people wrote on that ad on social media ... which is not about a studio ... but

We should think of wearing venetian masks again ... maybe this way we could act on
the stage of life ... just as the heart is whispering us to do it
Usually made of leather or porcelain, many Venetian masks provide wearers with exaggerated features—a long, pointy nose or a rounded brow, for instance—meant to portray particular character traits or emotions while protecting the wearer's identity.
Someone ask me recently why do i hide myself, not showing my real picture ... but on the other hand posting lots of things in social media.
Yes ... it’s true ... i use my real name indeed ... but i just
don’t show who i really am.
But who i really am?!
Who the hell knows ... cause there are so, so many “me” inside of me ... that i don’t know either who i am in fact. My full name is Adrian Gabriel Dumitru.
When i was a kid everybody was calling me Gabriel.
Then ... when i went to school, everyone called me ....

Adrian.
I first wrote under the name Adrian G Dumitru ... and lots of people i knew found out about my writings.
Then .... i realized that i can’t be opened anymore.
I needed to hide a little bit ... what i thought.
I started to write ... defining my life ... and in fact the way i was seeing life ... and suddenly i saw that i can’t express myself the way i wanted.
In all my writings ... i actually speak to myself.
Sometimes ... i had moments when i felt that i am speaking to the walls ... so why the hell should i hide what i really think ... or lie?!
So ... i changed the name as a writer on ... Gabriel Dumitru ... which in fact is not a false name.
It was also a trick of reconnecting to my inner child. Today ... not so many knows who i really am ... or where i am from.
But is that important?!
I am ... Nobody ... from the era X .... living on a plannet
called ... Earth ... and i allow myself, while wearing kind of a spiritual mask ... to speak with an opened heart. I have no purpose ... as a writer.
I just write and define what i see around me, on the timeline of my life.
I am like a painter that paints something ... expressing his view about life .... in this way.
But all what i can tell you is that all those “venetian masks” ... helped me a lot.

Disconnecting from the world
and staying in your own energies
... an amazing strategy for life
There’s a funny motivational story i want to tell you ... about 2 guys, same age, same interests, same country ... having a lot in common ... but living totally different lives.
One of them ...decided years ago, after socializing with people from all around the world ... being involved in the sales business ... to just stop doing that.
Charles retired at the age of 40 ... realizing that money are not enough and he is just destroying himself ... connecting on so many frequencies.
On the other hand ... Arthur ... even if he retired from his business ... close to 45 ... following the model of his friend ... he did not wanted to forget about socializing.
He was somehow feeding himself with that ... and loved to connect to people ... no matter who they were. Arthur simple loved to ... socialize.
But the funny thing is that Charles started to change his life completely ... but Arthur’s life was still a total mess. Charles used to call his friend ... saying ... “ Life is beautiful! I can’t believe i did not knew how to enjoy it ... but today i feel that everything is just ... amazing.”
Arthur ... annoyed ... seeing his friend joyful all the time ...

telling him all those mantras ... that life is beautiful ... replies to him:
“Listen! I don’t know what is happening with you. Did you started to smoke ... weed?! Tell me ... at least i should try it also.
Why the hell you call me everyday and say that ... life is beautiful?!
What’s wrong with you?!
You really became ... annoying” Charles ... started to laugh of his friend. “Hahahahaha!
Forgive me! I now realize the misunderstanding.
Maybe i’ve been expressing myself wrong.
Maybe ... life is not beautiful ... or the lives of others ... but my life is beautiful.
I wake up with joy every morning and i keep that joy inside of my soul ... the whole day.
I told you to learn how to disconnect from the world. It’s ok to connect to the people, but learn also how you should disconnect from them.
I just live my life ... in my own energies ... without any interference.”
Arthur was paying a huge price for his pleasure of
socializing ... cause he was exchanging too much energy with the people from the timeline of his life.
And it was even worst ... he was searching for beautiful vibes in the outside world ... not understanding the enormous potential of the inner self.

In fact ... i could even say that he was running away from himself.
But ... all what Charles could do for him ... no matter how motivational he could be ... was just to tell him about his model of living life and at the right time ... maybe Arthur will think to try this trick for following a real path of joy ... the one of connecting to himself.

A jerk is sometimes just a lost soul.Don’t judge him before knowing the real story.
Jack was a guy living close to Miami.
He had a good business, a beautiful house ... a Ferrari in his garage ... that was making him smile from time to time ... a beautiful wife and 2 amazing children.
Televisions could present him as the perfect example of the american dream.
Jack was close to 40 ... so he was still young and could be seen as a model of success for anyone from the world. But it was funny cause even if he had everything .. deep inside his soul he was not a happy person ... which probably sounds as a total nonsense.
You see ... even if in the beginning things were different ...
today ... Jack was treating his wife as a servant.
She was the one that was preparing the food, washing the clothes, taking care of house and the children.
But for him ... she started to be just the one that was doing those things ... and nothing more.
Basically ... Jack was a jerk ... and i am sure that you all agree with me.

The perfect model of success, a guy that could be seen as a real example of the american dream ... was in fact ... a jerk. And what i forgot to mention was that he was a practician of the law of attraction ... and is really funny seeing a guy that got actually everything from the Universe ... but was acting in such a weird way.
He was ignoring his family ... and everything it had to do with them ... but also the fact that the Universe was so kind with him.
And still ... what intrigued me was that a guy that made enough money to buy a Ferrari, a beautiful villa in Florida, having his own businesses ... could not be such an idiot as he looked like.
It happened that i knew him ... and one day seeing him at the golf club .... i’ve asked ... “Excuse me ... Jack! It looks
like you have everything a man could want ... but i never
saw you happy.
How’s that?!
I studied a lot the concept of happiness ... and your example
is totally illogical to me.”
Jack smiled.
He knew that i was a writer ... but also what i write about ... so he replied ... “You see ... indeed i do have everything i wanted ... and in fact everything a man could really want ...
but even if my wife looks as the perfect wife ... the connection i have with her is not giving me the right vibe i desire.
I am not feeling .. the love my soul is searching for by such a long time ... so that i could be healed.

So i do have everything ... but i actually have nothing.” I was looking at him ... and he looked so honest to me. “Jack ... but people started to see you as a ... jerk”.
“Yes! I know! But ... when they will realize that life is not only about success ... and this model of having an amazing house, a good business, a Ferrari, a beautiful wife and great kids ... but you also need to feel loved by the person besides you ... then maybe the concept of success ... and why not ...
the one of the american dream ... will be totally redefined” Jack was right.
Society showed us models for the ... perfect life scenarios ... but forgot to tell us that without the feeling of love and having great connections with the people from the timeline of our lives ... everything is useless.

“Nice horse.
Nice lady.
... but i was looking for a beautiful path for my life. Is that it?!”
I have a client from Ireland ... Brian ... and i am having kind of a therapy with him.
I am not a real therapist ... but he just likes my writings and we chat a lot about the problems he had ... trying to find a meaning for the events from his life.
You see ... Brian is still married, but he is trying to find a new partner ... not being satisfied of the life he has with his wife. We somehow play together ... the game of defining ... which in my vision consists in analyzing a situation ... defining it and then ... if we don’t like it ... just redefine it.
Few days ago ... Brian sent me a picture with a lady, riding a horse ... on a road ... in the mountains ... and asked me ... “What do you think about this picture?!”
I was looking at the picture ... for maybe 10 minutes ... analyzed all the elements ... and meditated over the subject. What Brian did not told me was that the picture was not a stock photo ... but a picture sent to him by a lady he spoked over a dating platform.

He actually wanted to know if she was the right lady for him ... but i suddenly realized that the picture itself had a very powerful message behind it. The nature was ... wild.
The road itself ... was ... a not a very used one.
The horse was looking back ... inviting us into the scene. The lady was ... waiting ... but i could not feel exactly what or why.
... and i am asking my friend ... “Brian .. do you see yourself in this picture ... near this lady?!”
Brian smiles ... “Look ... i chatted a lot with her and i believe
we could be soul mates”.
I started to laugh load.
“My God ... Brian ... you really are an idiot.
This lady invited you into another Universe ... but we all know that you are just a prisoner, living in a beautiful villa, in the city ... near your wife and kids ... and you will never leave the scene where you are now for the one from the picture.
The lady sent you this photo ... to ask you if you are ready ...
for an amazing journey, riding the horse, enjoying the nature, admiring the vibe of that place.
What the hell ... are you talking about ... telling me ... you
could be soulmates?!
Is this a joke?!
You are lying to me ... or to yourself?!”
Brian became angry ... hearing me ... but i was right and i could afford to tell him the truth in a brutal way ... cause i was not charging him for therapy.

Practicing art ... we will

I am a vegetarian by more than 10 years ... and the main idea of what i want to say to you is that after i stop eating meat ... somehow the pleasure of eating totally disappeared for me.
I also eat very fast ... and i see the act of eating the same way i see a car entering into an oil station ... which indeed sounds as a nonsense.
But in the past i used to go out at restaurants ... and i saw things in a totally different way, especially when the meal was served into a beautiful way by the chef of that place. In those moments i realized that cooking, serving the meal ... and eating ... is an art.
