The numbers are no secret. The more you get to know them, the more you understand and feel them. It is a special feeling to choose them. And instead of the limited and “screaming” square meters that resonate in the crazy world, I once again chose unlimited squares on the way to a good 1500 m above sea level, on the vast Velika planina. What is allowed above 1000 meters is reminded by a well-known folk saying, which everyone tailors a little in their own way. The fact is that at the height, one way or another, you “jump”, gain new strength and, last but not least, unique scenes drawn by passers-by and nature, which fill you with energy and accompany you to a similar venture in the future. In the meantime, life happens, which brings us new insights, challenges, lessons, difficulties….
I have experienced many things myself. There are stories for the whole book, which is definitely a challenge for the coming years, and in the ones I have learned so far:
- The greatest gift of life is friendship.
- Let’s be happy for this moment. This moment is probably the most memorable in our lives.
- Let’s not dwell on the past, let’s not dream of the future, let’s concentrate our mind on the present moment.
- We don’t remember the days, we remember the moments and especially those when we go into the unknown, when maybe even a little bit of fear scares us when the adrenaline “works”.
- It takes very little to live a happy life. It’s all in ourselves, in our way of thinking.
- In the end, they don’t count the years in our lives, but the lives in our years.
- It is also important that we can rely on each other in life, whether it is friends, family or a guide on the other side of the mountain who cares that we are okay.
- Life is full of beauty. Just watch. Smiling faces, beautiful nature, colors in the sky, snowflakes. Smell the snow and feel the wind. Live life to the fullest and realize that even beautiful scenes are actually part of your dreams.
- Believe that you can do anything.
- In the darkest moments, we need to focus to see the light.
Sometimes the best moments are the ones you really lived in and were present in. During recreation, I often try to “immortalize” and capture in the camera a perfect moment of beautiful and magical nature (I often share it with you). This moment also reminds me how amazing my life is and with it the trials I have had or have to deal with. And when I decide on the filter and saturation of photography that is real at the moment, I “philosophically” realize that life’s trials have made me who I am, that I’m at risk when I try something new, with people who I did not know, I always found new strengths, knowledge and abilities in myself. I don’t remember my last comfort zone. In fact, even these are only instantaneous.
When I stop, a new idea “pops into my head” and I’m already thinking, analyzing and rushing forward. Hard? Maybe for those who are by my side because I am a perfectionist. But I’m glad they know me, understand me, encourage me. In fact, I also like to live, work and create with them. We are a team in which there are no boundaries for any of us and we are similar, even in terms of “perfection”. It is also our common condition to create stories forever. By the way, a new one is already on the horizon :). With all of this, however, to be and remain true to yourself, to be honest, to express your opinion out loud, in a polite, (not necessarily) kind and respectful way, which may sound complicated, but in reality so simple. Because you fall asleep with peace of mind and you can always look in the mirror.
In fact, problems are constantly occurring in everyday life. But problems alone do not yet cause suffering. If we are able to face the problem directly and focus our energy on finding a solution, the problem can turn into a challenge. Feelings and emotions such as fear, anger, guilt, loneliness and feelings of helplessness, however, definitely only increase the pain.
I hope the 10 posts above inspire any of you as well. to take a risk and try to operate from your comfort zone. Meet people you might not normally take the time to meet. Jump off the edge when you don’t even know what’s hiding beneath you. Trust in humanity and in the fact that there is always someone at the other end who catches you. If nothing else, you will catch yourself. However, height and numbers do not matter at all.
Stay healthy and active and happy. 🙂
