I don’t know if it’s possible to achieve a life without problems—I believe it wouldn’t even be fun. The feeling of facing and overcoming challenges would no longer exist, and that’s not the life I seek. 🙅‍♂️ Besides, learning to solve problems is part of the process of reaching the next level.

P.S.: This artwork had a little help from my young niece—while I was painting, she was pulling, jumping, and clinging to me. 😅

Stop, rest, breathe, reflect on the lessons learned from what you’ve experienced. Look around, learn by observing everything, then continue walking.

Me, to myself.

Following desires—could there be anything more harmful than that? 🤔 I don’t know. 🤷‍♂️ What I do know is that every day, I train to free myself from these chains. I’m almost there.

I like to hear opposing views—different perspectives on life regarding any and every subject. It adds to my own way of seeing the world.

Looking around and within, I hear a whisper—something is missing. There’s a piece missing to complete this puzzle. What could it be? 🤔

This will be the predominant thought of the week. I will walk deep into this forest.

Everywhere. 🙆‍♂️

I feel my peace growing more and more. I attribute this to the knowledge I acquire along the way. When I understand something, it no longer causes me suffering—it is simply acting according to its nature.

I take my little dog as an example. He urinates on everything, not to provoke, but because that is his nature. How could I be bothered by him acting in accordance with what he is? 🤷‍♂️
