Successfully being you

Successfully being you


Remind yourself how strong you have been. Consider how strong you can be.


The challenges that face you are real, and not to be taken lightly.

Yet you have already worked your way through countless challenges,

and you have what it takes to keep moving forward.


Let yourself feel sincere,

all-encompassing gratitude for where you are and for what you have.

Make the commitment to make positive, purposeful use

of the goodness with which you are blessed.


There is much to be done and there is even more that you’re capable of doing.

In every moment is the opportunity to create new, fulfilling value.


Look forward, and envision the best possibilities.

Step confidently ahead, and feel how good and right it feels to make them come to life.


You are, right now,

the most experienced and effective you’ve ever been at successfully being you.

Use this day to raise your success to ever higher, more fulfilling levels.


— Ralph Marston.

Stop putting it off.

Stop putting it off.

If there’s something that must be done, go ahead and get it finished. Get busy, get it done, and feel the freedom of no longer having it hanging over your head.

Sure, it will take some focused, concentrated effort. Yes, it may be annoying and inconvenient. However, those are not reasons to avoid it. Those are great reasons to go ahead and get it behind you.

Instead of filling your day with worry and dread and resentment and guilt, fill it with effective, productive effort. Instead of making excuses and ending up getting nowhere, make some real progress and get the task behind you.

The energy you spend putting it off is one hundred percent wasted energy. The energy you spend getting it done is what will make a real, discernable, positive difference in your world.

So get yourself going and get it done. Now is the time and this is the place from which you can move confidently forward.

What I do to get Creative, by Karen Grunberg.


As you already may know, I'm participating in LOAD-Feb'12, by Lain Ehmann.

Today, I've found this video about Creativity and wanted to share it since it's very interesting and motivational. She's Karen Grunberg, and her projects are so colorful and inspirational. Enjoy!

Vacation time is over…

Vacation time is over… well, officially, because I won't be on duty at work till next Thursday, November 3rd hehehe


I was going to write an elaborated post, explaining a few things, but I think I’ll go directly to the point, just like a telegram :)

- Almost 4 months ago, my life changed, and I feel so good now. I’ve recovered the calm I was missing so much. But I know I must be alert…

- My trip to the USA, to visit a great friend of mine and her family, was a success, oh yeah!: introspection, group therapy and tons of shopping :)

- I begin a new stage of my life totally renewed: batteries charged, new wardrobe, freshly painted in white apartment (when the painters come...) and new Studio,

because I’ve moved my scraproom into the master bedroom, and it’s going to be My Studio to scrap or make cards, to either paint or do a mess with gesso if I feel like it, to learn how to use my sewing machine, it’ll be my dressing room too, and to study…

- Yes, you’ve read “to study”. I’m back to the university!

I’ve registered in the National University of Distance Learning, UNED, to start a Degree in English Studies. I’ve been thinking about it for a few years, and I’ve felt right now is “the moment”.

I’ve never studied/liked subjects like History or Literature, so I face this challenge a little bit expectant but excited too.

- I’ve also joined a gym to burn some energy.


I think I’m done. Yes, I know I said “just like a telegram”, but it was impossible for me to summarize it in fewer words.

As for my job, we’re still “in danger”, but as long as the days and months continue going by…


If you’ve read through here, THANKS, and, if you feel like it, I’d appreciate your opinion as well as your encouragement, which is always good to hear, well, to read


A big hug and read you soon,


P.S. I forgot to mention my visit to the hairdressers' sometime during this week...
coming soon...

"A precious human life..."

Everyday, think as you wake up,
'Today I am fortunate to have woken up,
I am alive,
I have a precious human life,
I am not going to waste it.

I am going to use all my energies
to develop myself,
to expand my heart out to others,
to achieve enlightenment
for the benefit of all beings.'


Tenzin Gyatso
14th Dalai Lama of Tibet
From Inspiration Peak.

Positively powerful.

I've found this today in Greatday.com. Just perfect :)


Positively powerful.

Relax, and remember how truly beautiful and unique you are. Relax, and remember how positively powerful you can be.

Don’t waste your time wishing for something outside of you to magically make your life easier. Instead, make life easy on yourself by making full use of your magnificent capabilities.

The pain of what you worry about is mostly in the worry itself. The joy you seek to experience is yours as soon as you allow it to be.

Feel how truly good you know your life can be. Act on those feelings, right now, and the goodness comes to life.

Most of the difficulties are difficult only because you have decided they are. Gratefully embrace them, and you’ll touch their positive value.

Remind yourself how good life can be. From there, you can make it even better.
