2024 was the year of the dragon and  forecasted to bring about opportunities, changes, and challenges. Sometimes one wakes up in the morning and wonders if the world is going to last throughout the day…

Strong emotions

Many people I meet express strong emotions about what is going on in the world today and seem to have a hard time stepping out of all the negativity shared. Some seem to have lost hope. I kind of think of it in a different way:

The Choice is Yours

Emotion is energy in motion and they travel through us. The point is what you do with this energy: Will you let the energy bring you down, or will you use the energy as fuel to bring out the good stuff. The choice is yours!

Haruki Murakami is one of my favourite authors. I love his books with their surreal and strange worlds that are the places of metaphorical journeys. And no matter how strange and hopeless things look, Murakami reminds us that things can get better. I repeat:

Things can get better! And there are things we can do to contribute!

Sometimes we all need to climb up our ladders and get out of our rabbit holes to reach new vantage points, viewpoints and perspectives. Now is the time to step up and transform the negative emotions into positive activities! 

Take a leap, get out of your comfort zone and do something to help move the world in the right direction. Please!

«Life is a blank canvas, it’s never too late to create your masterpiece.»
