Begin your own life journey

“You have your brushes, you have your colors, paint paradise and go inside”

Nikos Kazantzakis

Even in the most unbalanced situations balance is never too far. Balance is in your own hands.

Some say life is a game. Others say it's a labyrinth, I say it's a blank canvas!

A large canvas waiting for your own actions to obtain shapes and colors. If you allow time to pass without any plans, your painting will be grey, dull and monotonous. And if you let grief and sorrow affect you, your canvas will become black and dark. But, if you take the brush in your own hands, your painting will become what you have dreamed of. It will have the colors and shades YOU desire to have in your life.

So what is Life, after all?  
Life is what WE make it.
Life is a four letter word that WE write as WE wish, in our own handwriting.

We can write it in capital letters, in small letters, in a firm, trembling or scared way.

The decision on how we write our life is OURS.
If we cannot write it, we paint it!
Give it color and use your best brush!
Life does not wait…Pick up a color and begin your own life journey!

Life is a journey, you should live it, travel with it.

This is how journeys are made, this is how souls are touched and the roads you travel become parts of you.

Some roads can lead to nearby places; others can lead you further away. Travel the colors, the aromas,

the flavors, the voices and the journey is engraved into your own body!

However, it is not the distance that is significant, because there are those journeys that happens within our dreams - which take shape through thought and the ticket is your imagination!

This is how you should dare to travel, in an uncharted space of your mind and soul and with your heart.

This is how important travel takes place, when you hear the voice inside you laughing, greeting you and recognizing, as a unique heaven, you and your own happiness! When the whisper of life becomes a voice, listen, because that’s when everything magically changes and gains color.

So travel, as far as you can. Happiness is a journey,

Life is a Journey, travel it. Life does not wait.

A painter without brushes cannot create a painting.

By transforming painting (or images) to words, the “brush strokes” are our abilities and capabilities, human potential is endless.

We all come to life gifted with different abilities and strengths for a bright and colorful life. Take your brushes, they are YOURS! Paint Your journey! Paint Your Life!

Our capabilities and abilities are ready to “serve us”.

But what do we do with brushes without colors? 

Make colors words. Colors are our moods!

Our moods SHAPE our ENERGY! You are ready to start your painting. You have the skills, you have the strength, all that remains is to choose the colors.

Let's use our abilities and strengths for a bright and colorful journey of life. Only our effort to give color to our lives will bring us light. Our life is in our hands.

Arm balances have a funny way of seeing impossible until one day they are not. There are many benefits that come from regularly practicing arm balances.

It helps to strengthen your wrists, arms and abdominal muscles.

Here are only a few of the many indisputable benefits of arm balances:

- Tone & Lift the Whole Body

- Strengthen the Body to Protect the Shoulder Joints

- Balance the Body, Mind and Soul

- Boost Prana Flow

- Encourage Positive Self-Esteem, Self-Worth and Self-Confidence.

Believing in the self to do an arm balance, promotes the concept of self-esteem as a reward rather than an entitlement. As such, self-esteem is earned and backed with evidence which, in turn, promotes self-worth and self-confidence.
