Let’s admit it – even if you are not directly bothered by the destruction of preparing for the new school year (probably no less than Christmas and somehow “unexpected”) – that first autumn morning still reminds you of itself in one way or another.
This cold that stole the summer from its first day. Those dewy cobwebs. Those leaves on the sidelines, winning against those who sweep them. This smell of the forest fell even in the city centers. Those flower sellers at the most unexpected places. Or just the traffic jams, again.
It is somehow different for everyone, and at least for a moment, it makes you remember yourself, the child you still carry inside you. The one who is a bit confused but proud at the same time, with an oversized school jacket and a strange flower from the ground to the sky.
What would you wish him/her now?
I wish you to dream. Bravely. Only time separates your dreams from reality. So, maybe could you set the deadlines? And you know what? Dreams are filled only for those who have them.
Don’t doubt yourself. Doubts are traitors that make you lose, where you would most likely win if you weren’t afraid to try. Don’t underestimate yourself; you can do anything.
Never give up. Give yourself time. Have a little bit of patience. Today, it may rain; tomorrow, there may be a storm, but tomorrow, the sun will come out. You’ll see. And if it’s not good yet, it’s not the end.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be afraid never to try because your most significant fear can be the path to the greatest happiness of your life.
Live here and now. Don’t blame yourself for anything. Use all the accumulated experience and energy to create the future you dream about is better instead. Thank yourself for waking up. Be happy that you can inspire, be amazed that you can see the world to and be a part of it. And enjoy. Now.
Take time for yourself. It will always seem like you don’t have it. But believe me, you have. In the end, you will realize it was your most valuable time, allowing you to spend much more time on everything else.
Love yourself. Just the way you are. You can try to please everyone, to fit somewhere you don’t belong and you will probably succeed, but you won’t feel you. Better go where your heart desires. Be with the ones you want to be with. Accept all of yourself with love – there are no bad feelings; they all shape you and make you a human being. You are unique and this is your greatest asset; use it wisely and with respect.
Believe in miracles. They do not happen only to those who do not believe in them.
Best wishes to our (inner) children. Let’s do not forget them. Let’s raise them with great love, patience and attention.
