To Change
Often, as we get older, we realize that we cannot change people.
We can only change the way we look at them which, sometimes, also means to let go…
It is similar with photography… Sometimes, we simply need to look at things from a different angle to gain a brand new perspective.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” ~ Victor Frankl

Soulmate
Last summer, as i was reading the infamous, Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, i annotated the passages that really touched me.
To be honest, i still don’t know if i completely agree with this theory, but i love it nonetheless.

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.”
~ Elizabeth Gilbert

Warrior of the Light
Warrior of the Light: A Manual, by Brazilian author, Paulo Coelho has been an inspiration for me for several years now… here’s one of my favorite “teachings”.
.
.
A Warrior of the Light knows that certain moments repeat themselves.
He often finds himself faced by the same problems and situations, and seeing these difficult situations return, he grows depressed, thinking that he is incapable of making any progress in life.
“I’ve been through all this before”, he says to his heart.
“Yes, you have been through all this before”, replies his heart. “But you have never been beyond it.”
Then the Warrior realizes that these repeated experiences have but one aim: to teach him what he does not want to learn.
~ Paulo Coelho
