The most important question

Since time ago I heard a story that makes me think a lot. I would like to share it with you.

A high european executive was on holidays with a beautiful black woman in the Caribe. They were meet just since a couple of weeks but they like each other and decided to spend more time together in such a paradise.

One night they were having a drink late in the evening. The sunset was marvellous.
She looked at his eyes and makes this question:

Who are you?

He was shocked for a moment. What a question after been together for a time!

- Well, I am John.
- No, that is your name. Who are you?
- I am a man.
- That is your gender. Who are you?
- I am English
- That is your nationality. Who are you?
- I am executive.
- That is your job. Who are you?
- I am a former elite sportsman.
- That is part of your past and achievements. Who are you?

He felt the questions falling deep into his soul. The knot was like clanking in an empty cave.

They keep quiet for a moment. He was deep inside.

Night continuous and the conversation liked to be one more. At night he tried to sleep. One question appeared beating his thoughts “who are you?”.

Nightmares and fever take him that night. Could be just causality but he developed a very strange illness. This illness keeps him on bed for several months.

She was besides him during that time. Reading for him. Taking care of him.

Something happens to him. I am not able to explain it fully but whatever was changing him forever. He left the king of live he was enjoying and nowdays is changing the way people look and practice leaderships around the world.

Some times a question can change your whole life.

Who are you?

Get beauty in your life

Mind is like the body; take care of how you feed it.

I have been watching Sara Baras on yesterday. I highly recommended her show.
It is amazing the beauty and enthusiasm created by all the Sara Baras’ company members.

I invite you to research about what are the key factors to create that beauty and energy on the scenario. Keep your eyes open.

Your mind is eating all what is happening around you. TV, radio, family, friends are its food. Taking of your body is not the same to eat fad that vegetables. It is the same with your mind. Take care of your mind diet. Avoid gratuitous violence and put more love and appreciation in you mind diet.

Be conscious about how you are feeding your mind.

Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it

We open today with a Confucius quote “Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.”.

Look around you and thanks everything you enjoy.

Happiness is not on desire; happiness is on wanting what you have.

Western psychology supports this. Myers and Diener (1995), after years of research on psychological happiness, concluded that “satisfaction is less a matter of getting what you want than wanting what you have", a statement in accordance with the Buddhist emphasis on the importance of contentment.*

Where are you focusing you happiness research?

Do you appreciate what you have?
