When I first started traveling far away from home, I experienced my vulnerability and aloneness in a way I had never felt before.

What I understood from leaving my home is that your heart and gut become your compass, and you hear your soul’s whispers much louder.

Our time here is precious and short.

May you travel safely, whether literally or metaphorically, with compassion and kindness toward yourself and others.

May your travels open your playful heart wide, allowing you to see the world like never before… with awakened eyes, embracing the unknown both within and around you. 🌍

Much love,

Tatjana

Being alone doesn’t mean that you are lonely.

Often, when we perceive ourselves as lonely, we are actually in a state of emptiness and disconnection from others.

As a result of loneliness, we may long for company and attach ourselves to people or substances that, if we were grounded and aligned with our true selves, we would clearly see don’t deserve our time, energy, or money, etc.

Being alone means being content with your own company.

In therapy, we’re learning that needing connection should NEVER come at the cost of abandoning ourselves.

Pause and check in:
Are you choosing connection, or chasing it?
When you feel lonely, what do you reach for?

And if you are happy and alone, clap your hands 👏

Happy Happiness Day to you all.
And happy Spring.

THE CONQUEST OF HAPPINESS
by Duško Radović

No one will be truly happy
who looks at happiness too sternly,
who measures it from every angle
and keeps finding flaws in joy.
This one he wants, that one he doesn’t -
there can be no happiness there.
No, there is no happiness there.

There is an old and simple wisdom:
even happiness takes a gift-
a happy person creates happiness.

Some go searching for great happiness,
the finest kind, the grandest kind.

And anything less than overflowing
they refuse to call happiness.

They want too much, accept too little-
there can be no happiness there.
No, there is no happiness there.

There is an old and simple wisdom:
even happiness takes a gift-
a happy person creates happiness.

Some are given no peace by envy,
and never notice their own happiness.
They do not claim what is already theirs
because someone else has more.

They want another’s, not their own-
there can be no happiness there.
No, there is no happiness there.

There is an old and simple wisdom:
even happiness takes a gift-
a happy person creates happiness.

The sea does not fight its waves.
We, too, can learn to move with our feelings.
It’s not about us feeling better…even if we wish that…
It’s about noticing our feelings…
understanding them…
and learning to get better at feeling them.

Ο βαθύτερος φόβος μας δεν είναι ότι είμαστε ανεπαρκείς.
Ο βαθύτερος φόβος μας είναι ότι είμαστε πανίσχυροι.
Είναι το φως μας, όχι το σκοτάδι μας,
αυτό που μας φοβίζει περισσότερο.

Αναρωτιόμαστε
ποιος είμαι εγώ για να είμαι λαμπερός, πανέμορφος, ταλαντούχος, υπέροχος;

Στην πραγματικότητα, ποιος είσαι για να μην είσαι;

Είσαι παιδί του Θεού.

Το να παραμένεις κλεισμένος στον εαυτό σου
δεν εξυπηρετεί τον κόσμο.

Στη συρρίκνωση δεν υπάρχει κανένας φωτισμός.

Έτσι δεν θα αισθάνονται ανασφαλείς οι άλλοι γύρω σου.

Ο σκοπός όλων μας είναι να λάμπουμε,
όπως τα παιδιά.

Γεννηθήκαμε για να εκδηλώνουμε
τη δόξα του Θεού που είναι μέσα μας.

Δεν είναι μόνο σε μερικούς από εμάς.
Είναι σε όλους.

Και καθώς αφήνουμε το δικό μας φως να λάμψει,
ασυνείδητα επιτρέπουμε σε άλλους ανθρώπους να κάνουν το ίδιο.
Καθώς απελευθερωνόμαστε από τον φόβο μας,
η παρουσία μας αυτόματα απελευθερώνει τους άλλους.
