Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 30oC, hot, sunny and a little unstable.
Today has been a great day filled with many activities and moments of reflection. I dedicated this day to taking care of my home and tackling various tasks that needed my attention.
I started my day by fixing a problematic toilet and doing some DIY repairs. After that, I defrosted and cleaned my fridge, leaving it spotless and ready for new beginnings. I also spent some time cleaning the apartment and the bathroom, which helped me restore a sense of order and freshness to my home.
As I achieved my domestic goals, I found myself getting more organized. I sorted and organized my correspondence and work desk, tasks that had been on my to-do list for far too long. It’s remarkable how tidying up one’s living and workspace can bring a sense of clarity and tranquillity.
At the end of the day, I treated myself to two of my favourite films: “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” and its sequel. Each film carries a distinct message that has resonated with me for a long time, especially on this day of productivity and self-reflection.
In the first movie, a powerful quote at the end reminds us never to give up in the face of life’s disappointments. It goes, “Everything will be alright in the end, so if it is not alright, it is not the end.
The only real failure is the failure to try, and the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment. Remember, you are Everything, or you are nothing.” For me, this is brilliant!!
The second film teaches the value of letting go and embracing life’s natural course.“You have no idea now what you will become; don’t try to control it. Let go!” These words gently reassure us that sometimes, we must release our need for control and embrace the beauty of the unknown and the unexpected.
I must admit that I am feeling a bit insecure about the upcoming changes in my life that I have yet to experience. It is a little unsettling, but I know it is necessary. I try to remind myself that with every small and steady step, these changes are taking shape, so Everything will eventually fall into place.
I am on a journey and firmly believe I will succeed. My victory will lead me to where I should be. The key is to persist, believe, and keep faith.
Today has been a day of accomplishments and inspiration, which serves as a reminder that in the face of uncertainty, we have the power to persevere and embrace the unfolding path of life. As we navigate these changes, let us remember that success is often a matter of resilience and unwavering belief.
May you find the strength and courage to navigate your path with unwavering belief and steadfast determination.
Thank you.
