It has been a while without sharing my thoughts...but with all the crazy stuff happening lately, I thought something "positive" has to be said...
The world is currently a mess, I suppose it has always been like that but we were not paying attention or simply the information, the news, were biased or not relayed properly...
Months ago some atrocities occurred in London, Alepo, Gazza...last week terrible things occurred in South Africa, Manchester...
The truth is everyday something "bad" occurred in some parts of the world. When I say BAD, I am talking about something caused by humans, not natural catastrophes, which could be derived by human misused of the natural resources...
Today I was with my two sons in the park, they were having fun and I was enjoying every bits of the moment.
I was enjoying the weather, the area where I live, which is quiet, clean, green, the people around us...
I said to myself, THIS IS PERFECT...at that point, I remembered that Carly and Leon got married last week, that Flori came back from Manchester safe and sound, that I am enjoying Ramadan, my Muslim community, the guys I work with in the gym, my clients, the gym members who take part to my classes and those I see on a daily basis, my friend, my family.
At the same time that we grieve and are angry many good things happen around us!
IN OTHER WORDS, WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON THESE GOOD THINGS THAT WE CAN CONTROL EVERY TIME WE GET OFF BED, like making sure to go the gym and attend one of my kettlebell or spin class...
To Smile because we can, to train harder because we can, to support each other and bring some good vibes wherever we go.
I like to say and I mean it, that I feel blessed as I have everything I need to be happy, I am healthy, so are my closed friends and relatives, I do the job I love and I surrendered myself with amazing people.
TO BE HAPPY OR NO IS A CHOICE I MAKE!
DESPITE ALL THE BAD THINGS GOING ON AROUND US, ALL THESE THINGS WE CANNOT CHANGE.
LIFE CAN BE AND MUST BE ENJOYED, THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE
