HOTEL ROOM:

Sitting in my hotel room I begin to imagine how life is in fact similar to a hotel room in many ways. Life is constant motion and things change; we meet different people; experience rough times ; people come and leave our lives; many times they leave a mark and sometimes their presence go unnoticed; to some people we are the perfect friends but to some we still need to be polished out. If you keenly compare above to a hotel room; you realize that it faces the same. Good to bad inhabitants; people walk in and out of the rooms; some leave it in a good state as it was before, their presence un noticed whereas some cause significant damage hence leaving a mark; some think it was the best room whereas some wish for a better suite.

The most remarkable thing is that the room stays to serve all kind of guests; as others leave others walk in to the same refreshed room ( I admit, they are thoroughly cleaned); the rooms serve them just as the previous guests perhaps even better. You may wonder why I compare life to a hotel room but I realize that it shows how strong we can be and how better we can embrace life.

Many times we complain, searching for better conditions in our lives but what of if we could embrace change; why can’t we be ready to accept the different phases in our lives as part of the constant motion? Why must we always look for an explanation or excuse? All we need is a good clean up for our next encounter and warmly embrace the next phase of our life. It may be painful, may not be what we expect but change is a good as a rest;

At this point I remember a phrase that has stuck in my memory for a while now and it seems to taking center in my life “ NEVER SETTLE FOR THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE” embrace life as tough as it may be who knows what tomorrow brings?

Always remember that today’s sunset paves way to tomorrow’s sunrise; so is life, today’s pain paves way to tomorrow’s joy…

“Become a hotel room “ Embrace change……

RETREAT

RETREAT….

Some days in our lives we feel that we can’t fight the pressure anymore. We run short of supplies for courage, strength and tolerance. Exhaustion sets in and loneliness clouds our vision. Comes a time when we feel lonely and yet we are not alone. We have friends around us…what can one do when his/her heart is tired and the emotional baggage is too much around them.

How can you be strong for your friends and family when you are running out of strength yourself? Questions arises of “who cures the doctor?”. When you feel you can’t be strong any longer, it’s alright to break down; it’s alright to let the people around you know the trouble of your soul. No need to play brave, no need to play wise, no need to be a hero…

Take time to heal, find a retreating point and get inside you and search yourself. Listen to your inner you and communicate to him/her. Nourish your inner self and in this way you will be healed again…

It’s alright to feel exhausted; you can not always be strong……..

When all that was to be said has been spoken……………….

This evening I was wondering about love stories gone sour. What happens when lovers can’t bear to talk each other any longer? When the feeling cools down and passion is substituted by a simple glare. How do they get to make each other smile or laugh like before? Time has gone by fast and other priorities have been set. How do they get this far without realizing what is at stake? Is love all there is to life? Is love just an overrated phenomenon?

All these questions have no clear answers but the key is to communicate and communicate; the simple I love you’s , simple sweet words like “darling”, simple flattering compliments and sharing good laughter. This is where the memories are made. Despite the complexity of a man’s/woman’s heart the secret is found in the simplest of things. From a day well spent and gentle hand held. You may call me a dreamer but I believe that in the complexity of life everyone seeks what would make all look simpler or easier….

Get back to the basics and try not to complicate love because sometimes the mountains we try to climb in life are nothing but just a grain of sand…we have to learn to love , to accept and embrace. We like wise have to learn to let go when we can’t change the minds of the people we love…

Before we let go lets get back to the basics. Find what made you love this person. These qualities are there but they are clouded by the other priorities we set in our lives…

Even as I wait for the man who will hold my hand and share with me the simple joys in my heart.. I promise myself not to make it complicated and keep it to the basics…because I don’t want loose my inner child…

If you love is on the rocks dust yourself up and try to look in your lover’s eye again, search deep and find him/her. She/he is in the same eyes you once adored. Clear the mist that has clouded your love, hold his/her hand again…love is worth the fight……

Discover how electrical holding his/her hand is, love with all your heart………..
