With Perfection?
With Perfection?

Of all the things out there in the world – true perfection must be one of the most misunderstood. It's often mistaken for the ideal when much closer to the truth is simply honest. You see, like with everything else in your life, in your perception, in your reality – you get to define it! You – get to define it.
So, how is that working for you?
I have always lived a perfect life. To me, honest, simple, true, deliriously happy, real, giving 100% of my love away always – is perfection. No blame, no anger, no holding on to pain. And the pain comes and goes. Real, heartfelt pain is present in a different form, and through different experiences – but it is like a passing cloud in the sky of blue. No matter how thick and dark, how vast that stormy cloud is – you know what’s behind it. You just know the light is there undoubtedly. It’s all part of the privilege of being alive. And if that isn’t the perfection right there, I don’t know what is….
Now, it is possible to go deeper, to reach further, to remain present a little bit beyond the obvious. In fact, if we don’t – we pretty much sentence ourselves to the life of unavoidable (by this I mean the inevitable which we will feel from time to time, as we are, in our human awareness, attached to people), and by far larger degree – the unnecessary, or the chosen suffering. This one, by choice – is worth eliminating first and forever, because all of it depends on how we choose to look at things. Strength has nothing to do with it (you are already strong, even if you are not exercising it), only being brave enough to admit that you are choosing to punish yourself by suffering – even when you don’t have to.
The Remedy
See, to me, it’s unnatural to dwell in the above-described state of being – and within the next breath I imagined that sun behind those gloomy, but still passing, clouds. The spirit of that light illuminates your being with its presence inside you. There is no reason to obstruct the comfort and joy it brings if you just allow yourself to relax your mind and accept it into your heart. It is already there, my friend. That which has the magic of all creation is already inside your soul, and living in the embrace of its love means to be happy, to be present, to be aware, to be alive, to truly be.
Home At Home
Last week I have invited you to consider and notice how this present state of being is reflected (or influenced) by your immediate surroundings. If you have missed that post, here is your link to it.
Bring the feeling of home that you feel inside you – into the home you live in. Literally. It is possible and there is no end how uplifting both the process of creating your vision and living in it afterwards will be.
The Idea Behind 365 Days to Dream Challenge
Benefit from bringing the best inside you to your walls, to your room, to your sacred space. You deserve sanctuary. You deserve to abide in peace and joyful state of presence. You deserve that your inner being is reflected in your environment, you deserve to see its smiling face on every surface of your safe haven. The power of your co-creative energy will be evident inside and out. Is there a nobler way to be true to who you are?
Indeed, what started as a home renovation project on 10 March 2020 has morphed into self-realisation, and the two are now walking hand in hand. It’s true, there isn’t any process that can happen on the outside only, without drawing on the light from within, and letting the co-creation flow. We can exist disconnected (or rather unaware) of our true limitless nature that is ever-present inside our soul, but in concert with it there are more colours, the winds have songs, the oceans bring us closer, the sun kisses our skin, the leaves dance as the trees embrace, the flowers laugh and the stars wink, our hearts are our home and our homes are places where bliss resides. We are beings of light and love. Limiting yourself to being ‘only human’ is restricting who you really are. Spread your wings. You too can fly. ;)
P.S.
This post is dedicated to my parents, on their Golden Wedding Anniversary, today. With thanks for pure love and nothing but love radiating from their hearts to all of us, and furthermore, to everyone. You two embody ‘teaching by example’, and we couldn’t have had a better example than your love. <3 May you be happy for eternity!

1.
You’ve gathered that today is a special day in many ways. I simply wanted to share with you the love I have inside me. I am sending you the sun, the wind, the warm air of spring beauty, the awakened life in my garden, the light inside my soul. This day inspires love and connection and in that spirit, I create everything inside these 24 short hours. I have dedicated every practice, every ritual, every writing, every painting, every word today to my parents – and beyond that – to you, my friend. I am writing this for you, not for anyone else, but for you reading this right now at this moment. Your presence is alive and aware of your experience, it is able to feel the salutes and smiles and love reflected back through everything I have sent you.
So, today, 365 Days to Dream has officially grown into a home restoration project with self-realisation at its core. It is from this place that I will carry on creating the dream, and it all fits together perfectly. There it is – there is the full circle perfection I hinted to you at the very beginning. It is not only possible but by choosing to live without it - nothing else will be truly as magical, vivid and real as it can be with it. Sprinkle liberally throughout your life.

Today’s feeling of bliss is spilling through words, smiles, memories, tears, joys shared and those ahead of us. Holding on to feeling together, united in love and in eternity. I can only extend the same blessing to you.

I am looking forward to everything this day holds and to every part of Sunday. We will meet again in another episode of This is Your Moment podcast. I love welcoming you there and sharing these precious, tiny moments of connection in our oneness. I trust you find them inspiring to bring changes in your life that will help you be the best version of yourself on any given day and if we achieve that together, then we brought tremendous meaning and joy to ourselves, to each other and to the life we are creating together.
Remember – You Are Safe Here
This is the sacred place between our souls. Thank you for sharing your visions, dreams and ideas. Your courage to be vulnerably seen will always be respected, and you will be treated with nothing but kindness and compassion. ♡
P.S.
One to pin and save for later? :) You're welcome.
