Goodbye Dr. Smalltalk
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰
You only have this one chance, and of all the opportunities, and they are countless, which one is yours? We get lost in fights so often. Many of you are no longer even aware that you are fighting. Not even that it is against yourself. You love to blame what hurts you, to shift what hurts you onto others, and to run away from your own responsibilities. Small talk won’t get you very far. Realize that you can’t look away forever. The time will come when all that you felt powerless against is gone, was yesterday and then what? Burn your idea of the world, of the future and even of your past. All lies. Your thoughts are malleable, interpretable, irrelevant. What matters today is what you are doing right now and who you are and where you are. Don’t even think about the rest. Stay here and realize you only have one chance. Do you like what you see?
Shut out the world and look inside of yourself. Is your full potential active? Where do you compromise? Where are you being stopped? Why can’t you shine fully? Who or what is stopping you? Be honest with yourself. Have you got caught up in an idea and now you’re too deep into it that staying lost seems better than starting over? Nobody can decide that for you and nobody can help you live with the guilt if you don’t do something about it. No one will be there at the end, realize that today. You are alone in the heart of your life. You make the decisions, so you will face the consequences. Postponing until tomorrow doesn’t exist, because tomorrow it’s already made you sick. The universe counts. Don’t waste your life anymore. Breathe deeply and open up. It’s time.

Stop, Go On.
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰
Forge a path unseen by the many. Hidden from their sight and unknown by their truth you will be discovered and you will discover what feels like home to you and then you will laugh and you will rise from that of which only a unity can be formed. Divine intervention will become your guardian angel now, ever present, like a good friend visiting time to time. You will seem different, yet unchanged. Unchained are you. Through the sun and the moon and the eyes that look back at you and on your dreams, worldview blooms. Like the wind you rest in the clouds and color the landscape like your own house. Silently the mountains form in the map that you draw, as thunder crashes down and wrecks it all and nothing is what it was. A moment later all got well and something even said, yippee! …
We all know the feeling of habit. It causes us to not recall our thoughts and self-correct digressions. Telling your body what to do is easy, but your mind,… That’s another story. Keeping your own thoughts within limits is totally unnecessary, you may think, lol, and then you get really exhausted by thinking. Should I think of a referee who whistles back certain thoughts? Yes, because in order to develop positively you should think realistically, to not waste focus, energy, thus resources and for that, you have to work through certain life related topics mentally and that takes practice. In addition, lack of control harbours the risk of disappointment. Take stock of your mindset. You can write down all of your most dominant beliefs, or you can say them out loud and they will be brought into awareness that way. Then see if what you’re thinking about is productive. Does it have anything to do with reality? If not, ask yourself how it relates to reality and what it says about you. Work your way through your attachments and become more realistic and individualistic in your thinking. Let go of fantasies. Even if this comes with emotional upheaval. The processing will set your soul free. Don’t hesitate to recognise boundaries in spirit and pay them respect, because only if you recognise and respect them can you also recognise and respect yourself, then we are free.

Free Will
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰
When you look around you will notice that everyone is chasing something. Some chase the bag, others chase the time away and others chase their own tails. Wherever you are, slow down your pace, to make sense of the race. If you cannot do that yourself, connect to someone who can help you.. We humans are spiritual beings. A thought alone is enough to split the seas. So if you are a fish, all you need to glide through the chase untouched is an intention. Free Will.
Don’t let momentary boredom affect your long term happiness. Acclimatize to bleak circumstances by bluntly taking care of your needs. Cater to your purpose in cold-blooded fashion and in favour of the greater good and you will notice an increase in emotional and mental well-being. Have no expectations and manoeuvre the days with strategy and optimism. Be sure that you cannot make mistakes, because everything that happens always puts you in a better state, even if it doesn’t seem that way at first glance. Believe in your intentions and see the magic happen effortlessly. It does, always.

Butterfly Minds
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰
You have to create beautiful moments, they don’t fall from the sky,… and so everything you have or experience now is tailor-made. Never complain. You called it into existence. You are powerful beings and you create in conjunction with the Divine. I wonder why so many of you like to suffer? Why overthinking? Why exaggerating? Why worrying and wasting time judging instead of just being. We should find the middle ground and stay on it. What is beautiful is what is moderate and not what is exaggerated, what is natural and not what is superimposed. So often you try to stray from the middle ground because you don’t trust that the simple life that comes with it will meet all your needs. Often you are blind to your self-destruction. Breaking out of a negative spiral that is as old as time can be hard, but it can also be relatively easy. The only thing you need to free yourself from insatiable greed and your comparison mentality is inspiration.
Move to a place that not only embraces your survival instincts, but your soul as well. You want to transcend your animal urges to hunt and eat. Start recognizing what else is there that makes up human existence. We are not objects. We’re not here to entertain you. We are alive, so just like you have responsibility for your life, we have responsibility for our lives. We have to live with what we choose. Don’t ask yourself today what someone does and or doesn’t do. Ask yourself what you can do. Stay productive. Live your life in acceptance of the decisions of others and create your own happiness without their approval of it. Let’s exist in harmony with each other. Today I have a wish. Please learn how to make yourself happy, because only you have the power to create a beautiful life for yourself.

Individual Worlds Exist in One
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰
Every now and then life will have you making a face of a woman that bit in a lemon. Turning your head way to the side may make the cringe be over more fast. But as you go for and try, you realize nothing has you being more confused than your own bloody advice, to compromise your taste for a bitter vitamin slice. Pumpkin spice season has officially begun while you are still stuck in figuring out the what-the-fuck and so, you get the sense that you must go fast, kind of with the current of time and relax your damn freaked out overcrowded being nice. Nobody said it was easy but also no one mentioned it delivers Starbucks – a bucket full of stars, artificial dreams clustered in icy frosting with a free blonde latte to your own device.
Today I meditate. I start with focusing on my breath. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, repeat like so. When thoughts come in, just be aware of them. Do not react to them. Do not follow them. Do not identify with them. Do not be mad about them. Just allow yourself to be in all that you are. Breathe and relax. You will see, the more you put yourself in harmonious states, the more harmonious your life becomes. Your perception of the world will elevate when you release tension and stress by meditating. You are supported. Take your time.

Mon Salaì

A beautiful thing is never perfect. Perfection may be made up of quiet, hidden undertones forged from an active mind that reflect overtones negatively; halftones that wink humbly; voids that create life, intervals, hence rhythm and movement, magic; highs that fall and then put the lows into perspective… You no longer know whether you fall or fly. The whole spectrum of beauty has substance. That’s not easy to explain. Perfection is a secret. The revelation, dangerous.
Like moths to the light, servants gather around Gods.
Don’t obsess over knowing, controlling, dominating, or loving, all of which are worth nothing more than a fight over the obvious. What you must have, you will never own. Be counter-intuitive. If you take a step to close, you will take two steps back. Try to look left and you will turn right. Think back and you will know where to go forward. Beauty hides in a dance with the unknown. That is why beauty is what inspires us and not safety or the apparently “better” choices in life. Note that after a period of time everything becomes second nature and it happens faster than you think, so be mindful. Do not take beauty for granted or you will lose it to that which has become your normal. There hides great contrast of unpredictability in your stagnation that leads to painful awakenings. So wake up today and see beauty all around you.
“The lover is moved by the beloved object as the senses are by sensual objects; and they unite and become one and the same thing. The work is the first thing born of this union; if the thing loved is base the lover becomes base.”
— Leonardo da Vinci

Dark Paradise
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰
Though reacting may get you somewhere, not reacting gets you further. Further than just somewhere. When you think before you react you start to learn how to respond. This will safe you a lot of trouble. Don´t just react. You are an intelligent being having a human experience. Think before you speak, check in with yourself and with other. Make sure you are mindful and aware of what is really going on. Do not just rush through doors to parties you are not invited in. Respect boundaries and reflect on the thought of them to get a sense of why boundaries are important and what they are for. Make sure you spend time refining your sensitivity to them. Don´t be a slop. And on the other hand, if you are a righteous person, keep in mind to protect your rights. Do not compromise them to avoid confict. Your human rights to live a decent and just life are tight to your awareness of personal boundaries. Do not cross the boundaries of others and stay firm inside your own.
Keep your integrity at all cost, for you have to live with the repercussions of your actions and you do not want to waste your time cleaning up after yourself. We can inhance our lifes and the lifes of others, or we can do the opposite. Choose mindfullness over reactivity, patience over haste. And whatever you do, stay away from assumptions. So, ground into reality by considering the totality of others into your perspective of the world. We all are sons and daughters of parents that hope their children will be respected in this world. Do not be the blurr in someones focus. Refuse to sell yourself short. Never allow to be taken advantage of. Reject the idea of sacrifice. Turn down invitations of gossip. Stop your tendency of assumption. Stay grounded in reality, in integrity. This is the surest way to keep healthy boundaries and aid to the human experience. You do not have the power to control other people and what they do, but you sure can control your own actions. What you do is your choice. Choose wisely.

Everyday Beauty
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰
Use your time to work productively on your consciousness. Breathe, walk, meditate, sleep. Focused work also helps. Practice on your instruments, organize your apartment, house or garage, your business or talk to your partner. It is important to have everything done and move to the beat of the universe. Always keep in mind the responsibility you have to be here completely and to fulfill your responsibilities. There’s no time to fall asleep. Listen and act. And be glad you can. Life is nothing to be taken for granted. Appreciate it. Start small. Wake up, take time to remember that you shouldn’t have woken up, then get up with a smile, take a shower. Feel the water on your skin because nobody feels it like you do. Get out. Breathe in the fresh morning air. Look into the distance. Open yourself to the good and be a light in the world. You are loved. Fly on.
When you have recognized your place in the world, you feel responsibility. You are now connected to a value, have an incessant urge to live and do good. You have conquered your ego and all the pain it brought, the ideal it made you chase and the suffocating impatience that came with it. For a while it was hard to believe that justice existed, fairness and balance were ever out of the question, but now you see clearly. Your responsibility to remain anchored in the truth brings together what belongs together and separates what should be untied. All you have to do is exist. There comes a moment when you have to stop distrusting everything and wondering how it all fits into the big picture of life.

Forever Young
written by AYA: https://ayatoday.com/behindthewords/ 📰
We are never where we are today by accident. We have come to see, to understand, to change. Sometimes consciousness strikes like lightning, shaking us up, shocking us. Don’t let that get you down, because tomorrow it will only be about one thing again, your mission. Whatever you feel, let it be what it is, a feeling. Today rise up and remember who you are. Think about everything that has happened in the past few years and how it has made you strong like you are today. Then realize how your soul has remained untouched and you still listens to the songs from the trip around the world. Get your heart touched in a very specific way, you know that sunrise on the beach that motivates you and reminds you of the old days when you were just starting to shine your light, to have a vision and to manifest. Don’t forget to remember who you really are, where you come from, what you’ve been through and what you’ve realized along the way. Sometimes that’s all you need to win.
If you are generally open to further development and progress, you are certainly also self-critical, i.e. easily attacked. You listen to the opinions of others, you care about your actions in the world and you care about making a positive impact. But there are phases when you want to avoid this. If you find your meditation being hindered or even attacked, turn away from whatever. Learn to do your thing and stand up for yourself no matter what. Circumstances cannot erase you, and you can protect yourself from constantly mutating conditions. Whatever it is, as long as your intelligence exists, everything turns out for the best anyway. You know the universe has your best interest in the game. Keep shining and keep going, materialize your vision and don’t stop experiencing. That’s the only way you win. Go on. The journey never ends!
