I would like to share a little story about how I discovered the power in me that changed my life.

I simply just ran away from my previous robotized life about one year ago. I knew there was a good reason why my body and mind pushed me to go, and never look back. There had to be more out there. I got the divorce, I quit my job, I left my family, friends. Despite of the fear of leaving everything, the will made me to go. So, there I was - a little girl on the other side of the planet on her own, on the journey to the center of her soul.

I stopped thinking about the life I had left behind and focused on the moment. Watching the sunset on the top of the rock, walking in a jungle, sleeping in a bungalow with rats running around, a little snake sharing the room with me, monkeys jumping on the roof.

Meditating and mastering the mind; discoverying there how my thoughts had been creating my life and still was, so I started to concentrate on positive thoughts. Getting to know more things about myself while meeting new opportunitues and new situations there all by myself. There is a saying "If you lose all the support, then you will realize what is really supporting you" - that was me, nobody else. I was getting to lose the control, just listening to my heart and following my instincts. Finally realizing everything was one, feeling myself as one with the universe, feeling gratitude, being aware of a goddess in me. I was feeling alive first time in my life.
There is more out there, outside of your space. Resources of yourself, of the universe, are unlimited if you just open yourself to yourself and to the life. I finally can think what I like to think, what I want to think. I dare to think the truth, despite of how things may look like. After six months focusing deeply on my inner self, I went back home, where everything old got the new point of view. I am feeling very good and know how I want to live my life. I wish, I dream and fulfill them. I have the power to create my life, that is why I am a l i v e.
