Hello ladies!
I'm here another week to participate in my favourite contest community of Hive 💖 I would like to answer the following question:
Do you have a personal guiding principle (or a mantra) by which you live? If you do, what is it and how is it impacting your life so far?
My life motto or mantra always has been: Go with the flow.
The way that this impact my life is in the following:
- I usually don't compromise to plans like going out or a trip in advance. I usually tell my friends to plan whatever they want by themselves and if I can join, I will let them know. For me it's important to feel if I really feel like doing something in the moment, for that reason I prefer not to compromise.
- I travel only with one way ticket and I don't book it in advance. In my past I have wasted money booking flights in advance and, at the end, not taking them because I changed my mind. I know many people might think this is more expensive but actually, in my case, is not.
- It's hard for me to follow a schedule. And now that I am an entrepreneur I can see how challenging it is to get to my goals without it. This is something that I am currently learning. I still do most of the things that I feel are necessary for the growth of my business, but without an specific schedule. What I do is that I set goals instead.
- I am very intuitive. Since I make the decisions from what I feel, I connect more with my inner wisdom who tells me where to go and when to move.
- I can find solutions to problems easily. In my previous work experiences I realized that I'm a great problem solver compare to my colleagues. And not just at work but also in my personal life. This is because since I usually don't have a defined plan, I don't get stuck on it. I can easily can come with an alternative which usually is better. Because in my world there are not problems, only opportunities 😉
- I am in the now frequently. Actually my favourite book that is like my Bible is the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I can not follow the flow if I am stuck in my thoughts. Don't get me wrong. I'm still a human and my mind play tricks with me all the time. But I have developed the ability of watching my thoughts instead of being led by them. This is a very good skill that I would advice to anyone to develop.
In general I am very happy with this mantra and they way I live life. It's a challenging way of living because not many people live like me. But as everything, is not perfect.
As I have mentioned, now that I have a business I would like to have more structure. It's something that I am aware and that I feel I'm making progress little by little. (If anyone is super organized and have recommendations for me is more than welcome to share them 🙏)
Thank you for reading and I would like to invite @natalialove and @sabrinalaluna to participate in this contest 💖
