-Are you ready to go?-

-Yes!-

-Where are you going?-


Can you answer this question?


Yes, exactly, where are you going?

Are you waking up in the morning and are you asking yourself where are you going?

I don’t mean the exact place you are directed, I mean, is there a reason why you are doing what you are doing?


I didn't have a very clear idea of what I wanted to do in life. Now I know. Now I know what is my passion and I want to do this. I want to help people achieve their goals, I want to help people be the best version of their self. I want to help people to extract every good part of them for a meaningful purpose.


A meaningful purpose?

We need a meaning in life.

YOU MUST HAVE A MEANING, A DEEP, MOVING MEANING THAT KEEPS YOU LIVING. YOU CANNOT GO WITH INERTIA, YOU CANNOT LIVE WITH INERTIA.

Give a meaning of what you do in life otherwise why are you even waking up in the morning?


No long ago I was lucky enough to have dinner on a beach in the Philippines with my girlfriend. The atmosphere was magic, the food extraordinary and the feeling of the sand in my feet while eating was the part I loved the most. We end up in that restaurant ‘because we were following the signs that the universe gave us’.


I am honestly smiling while I am writing this. I and my girlfriend are a big fan of ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho. If you have read it you know what I mean when I say ‘following the signs from the universe’. (By the way, if you want a nice book about the journey of life and the meaning of life please get that book and read it!)


We end up in that restaurant because of a guy. We met him for the first time on our same flight and because he was traveling on his own he got our attention. We did not speak to him on the plane. We then arrived at the island where we booked our stay and in the next 2 days, we managed to see him again, alone. So my girlfriend started saying, he was there for a reason, making up all the stories about him, that it was not a coincidence we saw him all the times. She began to believe he had something for us, and I believed her!

She managed to make such a big story about him it became an obsession. We decided then that if it happens to see him again the next day we would go and speak to him. We decide to go and do a tour of the surrounding islands and there he is!

Our sign from the universe!


We got excited and starting to believe all sorts of things, this started to be exciting and a bit odd at the same time. The only problem it was he was on a different boat from ours. We gave up and we thought that maybe it was not destiny to meet him.

The universe decided though, not long after, while visiting a different place we could see him.


You cannot believe how excited we were. After 5 minutes talking if meeting him or not we decide to go and speak to him. It was our moment!


We go there and we approached him. He was alone like the rest of the time and we introduce ourselves, we explained to him what I have just described to you. We had a nice chat, normal, nothing strange. Very nice guy.


I and my girlfriend were very happy, we remembered he recommend a restaurant to us. We thought that the guy was there for a reason so the same night we went to that restaurant. We end up there just because of him. Are we mad? Maybe?






Once we finished the dinner we wondered what he gave to us.


What was the sign? We did not realize that until the day after.


It was the conversation me and my girlfriend had at that table in that restaurant. It was about the meaning of life.


Why are we there? Why do we exist? Are there any reasons why we are living in this world and living this life?

Many are the answers given throughout the years, I will not answer that and I believe I have not the answers. We spoke for 2 intense hours about it giving our opinions, learning from each other, challenging our beliefs and expectations in life, talking about destiny. There is no need to share what our beliefs are; it is not relevant for what I want to tell you.


What I know for sure is that WE ARE WHAT WE DECIDE TO BE. Everything is achievable with work. If you decide to be something you can start right here right now.


Start taking decisions towards those goals. Decisions are the responsibilities you need to take.

How do you know what you want to be?


Go deep inside and look into yourself to find out what you really want in life.


How do you know how to find what you really want in life?


Ask yourself what is moving you deeply, what are the things they mean the most to you?


Those are the kind of questions you need to make yourselves. They have to be meaningful, strong and powerful to give you the strength to work for those goals.


WHEN THERE IS NO MEANING YOU WILL NOT FIND THE STRENGTH TO WORK FOR IT. If you are moved by strong feelings like passion or love YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

There are many studies and books on how to practically look at the world in a positive way in order to recognize your passions and make it real successfully.


I found my passion, it is this one. I am enjoying so much writing about this.


If I could move even slightly someone to see life in this way I am succeeding in what I am doing.

Maybe that guy we met it was nothing, it was not a signal from the universe and he did not have anything for us but I believe he did. It all depends on how you look at things and how you look at life. You decide that as well.


If tomorrow you wake up and instead of thinking it is going to be the same ordinary, boring, sad day think it is going to be the best day of your life maybe you will have a different approach.


What if you wake up tomorrow and you not only try to tell yourself but you take the phone and you say to someone you know ‘Good morning, have the best day of your life’. Could it change slightly the beginning of the day? I guess so.


I WISH YOU THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!
