Keep a journal

It is the end of the day and I am tired. My mind is full and my body is aching. Before I go to bed I need to clear my head. What happened today? What did I do wrong? What did I do right? What could I have done better? (I was stressed because of my bosses' behaviour. I had a nice conversation with a friend. I should use the phrase, "we will see" more often, instead of answering directly something that I would later regret.)

If you do this every day, you are avoiding being a robot, because you think about yourself, about your reactions and your choices. In the end, you are learning yourself. You wouldn't imagine what kind of personal satisfaction is this....to get to know yourself a little more day by day.

"When people make plans, God is laughing"

Dear friends,

I had an accident last week that could have been very tragic but thank god I got out of it very well and nobody got hurt. I lost control of the car and I drove towards a wall. When you think you have everything under control and everything depends on you, there comes a lesson to teach you that it is not you that makes desicions but gods, fate, karma (name it anything you like), but not you. 

To tell you the truth, I am a control freak that doesn't show much trust to others and I lack of faith as well. When I make plans, God is there to remind me that I cannot decide about everything, he is there to show me that I need to have some faith in him. There is a greek saying "When people make plans, God is laughing", which means you never know what happens and never take anything for granted.
