What do you want?!
We always want something.We always want ... what we don't have ... or maybe can't have.Or ... what can't belong to us.Saying "I want" ... is a lot related with the world of desires ... but carries lots of influences ... which we don't really know they exist.Rarely ... i dare to ask ... seeing myself doing lots of stupid things ... "What do i want?! What do i really want?!"And ... honestly speaking .... I can't really find a logical explanation ... in many of those occasions.I had times ... when I've promised myself that i will wake up ... and looking into the mirror ... seeing again that unhappy ugly face ... i will repeatedly ask myself ... again and again ... "What do i want?! What do i want?! What do i want?!".Today ... i trend to believe that this is the best question we can ask while realising it is time to understand us deeper.It is a very powerful question.I hated it ... for years .... believing i know what i want to say.And ... it was like that cause i always got what i wanted ... but ... i was never happy.I mean ... really happy.The expression of my face ... while looking into the mirror ... forced me repeat myself this question.On ... and on ... and on.Strongly ... believing that one day ... the answers will be revealed to me.I mean ... the real answers.Unfortunately .... I still had to continue my meditations ...Cause the answers ... were not satisfying me ...
DIRTY ENERGIES … SEEN AS REFLECTIONS
Defining the connection … that sometimes looked like illusory … i’ve realised it all became a concert … of complains.I’ve wrote a lot about … defining … and its importance so that we could have a beautiful existence.In fact i do believe … and that’s my main message that analysing and defining with honesty all we like and dislike … we could reach a point when we could actually redefine our lives … into a better way.And this theory could be available into any of the areas of our lives.In our careers, with our friends … and even into a love story.The only real problem is that in koi to one point …. defining and defining and defining too much … we come into a point when we actually look like people … which are non stop complaining.Yes … somehow all looks a lot with a … concert of complains.And we actually …. ruin all.One of the 2 partners will simple say … “I had enough … “.Today … i smile cause i’ve been into this position … on both sides … in many of the relationships i’ve been involved in.In business… in love … and any other area.So … all becoming ridiculous… we come now into the position of asking … what the hell we do … to be able to improve the connection without destroying it?!When is the best moment when we need to stop doing that?!Why we try to define on and on and on things which cannot be improved?!Can we actually accept that the relationship has its own limits?!Can we avoid being ridiculous… clearly being defined of our partners into that way?!Can we improve a relationship without a deep analysis and define with honesty all?!In fact my list of questions is even much, much longer … but into the end we need to somehow conclude … so …Most probably … all we define is about the dirty energies which we discover while interacting …. but we are never aware of the fact that all is maybe …. a reflection.Yes … a reflection.One that becomes clear while in deep connections… but we are not able to become aware of the fact that all we don’t like into the relationship… are parts of us that needs to be redefined.We should firstly analyse and define ourselves… and keep in mind that into a mirror we won’t be able to change the reflection…. unless we change.And …. It’s so damn simple …But .. what is funny …. is that even if we understand the theoretical concepts… on the stage of reality … we forget about all.So … we just complain.We don’t like that … or that …. or that etc etc…All looks indeed like a pathetic concert of illusory complains … which into the end simple ruins … the relationship itself.On and on …. and on.
Mr & Mrs FREUD
I've wrote many books about love ... being in love, but also hating the concept of love ... and even promised myself that i'll never do that again ... but ...Well ... into one point ... after publishing 20 books of love essays ... i've had a very serious discussion with myself and ...Yes ... i've said it again that i'll not write again about love ....But ... damn it ... i just loved the concept.I loved all related to .... love.And even if i knew that a love story is many times ... illusory ... and might ruin completely our souls ... destroying them forever ... I've continued to write my perceptions about the subject.The funny thing is that ... promising myself i'll never be again into a love story ... i've started to analyse the couples i saw on the stage of my life.And what was intriguing me the most was why a man and a woman ... even when the love between them is so damn obvious... still do stupid things ... which are actually ruining all?!Why if both of them are in love of each other .... what the hell could be the meaning of the non sense psychological games we are doing?!And even worst ... why do we see very intelligent people ... playing so, so stupid on that stage of a love story?Why do they need to do stupid things?!Why they jump from love to hate so easily?!Also ... why the hell ... even the ones knowing a lot about psychology ... don't do the right things?!And had many occasions to see people which I'll generally define as Mr and Mrs Freud ... practicing the nonsense into a love story .... on and on and on.The final question remains ... why?!I could not find a real answer... but i've dared to continue analysing and defining into my writings .... the subject.Into the end ... maybe i could declare that i don't really have a conclusion .... but i love to talk about love.The subject itself ... is intriguing my soul.So .... I went deeper and deeper into my essays... being obsessed of a hope similar with the one of ... touching the horizon line.It's maybe ... ridiculous ... but .. i give myself the freedom to suffer of this addiction.
LIFE SEEN AS A … QUOTE
Sometimes we see life ... weird.But there are times when we also see it in a beautiful way.This balance will always be there.I became a writer, by writing simple quotes on my phone.Writing on and on and on.I was meditating a lot ... what life is about ... and in fact ... what my life actually means.After almost 3 years i started to look to all those thoughts ... which were simple ideas ... but were mine.There were defining me.And i became deeper and deeper.I was exploring all my thoughts and feelings.Today ... reading again all those things i wrote ... i just smile.I see the journal of my thinking.Thoughts.... and feelings.... thousands of them.Many ... in total contradiction.1000 versions of myself.And it’s quite difficult to understand many of those versions i was.But all of them ... is me.I read one more time ... and i have moments when i start even to laugh.So many thoughts and feelings.Such a large spectrum that defines me in so, so many ways ... but still ... it’s just me.I am only one.The one i decide to be each day.At the end ... i realize it all was an interesting exercise .... expressing all i thought or felt.This journal ... is my view over life.Many of the things i wrote ... i find totally ridiculous .... but i just smile ... and don’t judge any version of myself.I would even dare to ask you ... to copy this exercise ... cause might help you a lot.It will help you understand better who you are ... and maybe decide who you want to be tomorrow ... according to the dynamic of your thoughts and feelings.3 years means ... a little bit more of 1000 days ... and indeed 1000 versions of myself
THE ILLUSION OF CHANGE
The real change will come only when you will accept it inside your soul ... There are so many books about change or success, that you will not have enough time to read them during this life time.Sometimes looking for a huge success that could complete our lives ... the change is just part of the script.And success indeed can’t come without the change.But what is the change?!Can you do it by yourself, or you just need special help from different people?!Or maybe the real change can come only from inside of us ... and the only real help as it to happen is to accept it ... not only want it.Accept it ... as part of your life.Imagine that many years ago ... you had been poor, but you dreamed to be rich.And one day you become rich.But the funny question is ... do you accept the fact that you became rich?!There are so many people that they were poor and then they became millionaires ... but soon after they lost everything again.So ... they re became poor again.They did not accepted the change.Could not integrate it in their life.When change comes in small steps ... is much easier to accept it as part of our new life.When change comes suddenly ... we need to change our thinking right away ... and dare to see the whole scene of life in different colors.On the paths trough life ... we get lost.We lose all our dreams, one by another ... and we also lose ourselves also.One day ... the idea of change looks illusory and we wonder why we can’t understand the fact that we are never happy anymore.For a beautiful life, no matter if you are 20, 30, 40, 50 or even 60 or 70 ... you just need a plan ... the plan for the change.But the change needs to be a positive one ... and not a collection of silly desires.And if your life is miserable today ... small changes will make almost no difference at all.The change needs to be a process of ... dreaming big no matter what happens in your actual life.But you need to visualize and accept the future ... cause the real change means the break up from your past.You will lose yourself into this process and become a new you ... but if you really want a new you ... you will accept it.
Evolve Your Brain
Why do we keep getting the same jobs, taking on the same relationships, and finding ourselves in the same emotional traps? Dr. Joe Dispenza not only teaches why people tend to repeat the same negative behaviors, he shows how readers can release themselves from these patterns of disappointment. With the dynamic combination of science and accessible how-to, Dispenza teaches how to use the most important tool in ones body and life—the brain. Featured in the underground smash hit of 2004, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?," Dispenza touched upon the brain's ability to become addicted to negative emotions. Now, in his empowering book Evolve Your Brain he explains how new thinking and new beliefs can literally rewire one's brain to change behavior, emotional reactions, and habit forming patterns. Most people are unaware of how addicted they are to their emotions, and how the brain perpetuates those addictions automatically. In short, we become slaves to our emotional addictions without even realizing it. By observing our patterns of thought, and learning how to 're-wire the brain' with new thought patterns, we can break the cycles that keep us trapped and open ourselves to new possibilities for growth, happiness and emotional satisfaction.

Acclaimed internationally bestselling author Daniel Silva returns with the year’s most anticipated new thriller. Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon has slipped quietly into London to attend a reception at the Courtauld Gallery celebrating the return of a stolen self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh. But when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police seeks his help with a baffling murder investigation, he finds himself pursuing a powerful and dangerous new adversary. The victim is Charlotte Blake, a celebrated professor of art history from Oxford who spends her weekends in the same seaside village where Gabriel once lived under an assumed identity. Her murder appears to be the work of a diabolical serial killer who has been terrorizing the Cornish countryside. But there are a number of telltale inconsistencies, including a missing mobile phone. And then there is the mysterious three-letter cypher she left behind on a notepad in her study. Gabriel soon discovers that Professor Blake was searching for a looted Picasso worth more than a $100 million, and he takes up the chase for the painting as only he can – with six Impressionist canvases forged by his own hand and an unlikely team of operatives that includes a world-famous violinist, a beautiful master thief, and a lethal contract killer turned British spy.

Portrait of an Unknown Woman
In a spellbinding new masterpiece by #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva, Gabriel Allon undertakes a high-stakes search for the greatest art forger who ever livedLegendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon has at long last severed ties with Israeli intelligence and settled quietly in Venice, the only place where he has ever truly known peace. His beautiful wife, Chiara, has taken over the day-to-day management of the Tiepolo Restoration Company, and their two young children are discreetly enrolled in a neighborhood scuola elementare. For his part, Gabriel spends his days wandering the streets and canals of the watery city, bidding farewell to the demons of his tragic, violent past.But when the eccentric London art dealer Julian Isherwood asks Gabriel to investigate the circumstances surrounding the rediscovery and lucrative sale of a centuries-old painting, he is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing is as it seems.Gabriel soon discovers that the work in question, a portrait of an unidentified woman attributed to Sir Anthony van Dyck, is almost certainly a fiendishly clever fake. To find the mysterious figure who painted it—and uncover a multibillion-dollar fraud at the pinnacle of the art world—Gabriel conceives one of the most elaborate deceptions of his career. If it is to succeed, he must become the very mirror image of the man he seeks: the greatest art forger the world has ever known.Stylish, sophisticated, and ingeniously plotted, Portrait of an Unknown Woman is a wildly entertaining journey through the dark side of the art world—a place where unscrupulous dealers routinely deceive their customers and deep-pocketed investors treat great paintings as though they were just another asset class to be bought and sold at a profit. From its elegant opening to the shocking twists of its climax, the novel is a tour de force of storytelling and one of the finest pieces of heist fiction ever written. And it is still more proof that, when it comes to international intrigue and suspense, Daniel Silva has no equal.
The Order
#1 New York Times Bestseller • #1 Wall Street Journal BestsellerFrom Daniel Silva, the internationally acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author, comes a riveting new thriller featuring art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon.It was nearly one a.m. by the time he crawled into bed. Chiara was reading a novel, oblivious to the television, which was muted. On the screen was a live shot of St. Peter’s Basilica. Gabriel raised the volume and learned that an old friend had died … Gabriel Allon has slipped quietly into Venice for a much-needed holiday with his wife and two young children. But when Pope Paul VII dies suddenly, Gabriel is summoned to Rome by the Holy Father’s loyal private secretary, Archbishop Luigi Donati. A billion Catholic faithful have been told that the pope died of a heart attack. Donati, however, has two good reasons to suspect his master was murdered. The Swiss Guard who was standing watch outside the papal apartments the night of the pope’s death is missing. So, too, is the letter the Holy Father was writing during the final hours of his life. A letter that was addressed to Gabriel.While researching in the Vatican Secret Archives, I came upon a most remarkable book … The book is a long-suppressed gospel that calls into question the accuracy of the New Testament’s depiction of one of the most portentous events in human history. For that reason alone, the Order of St. Helena will stop at nothing to keep it out of Gabriel’s hands. A shadowy Catholic society with ties to the European far right, the Order is plotting to seize control of the papacy. And it is only the beginning. As the cardinals gather in Rome for the start of the conclave, Gabriel sets out on a desperate search for proof of the Order’s conspiracy, and for a long-lost gospel with the power to put an end to two thousand years of murderous hatred. His quest will take him from the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, to a monastery in Assisi, to the hidden depths of the Secret Archives, and finally to the Sistine Chapel, where he will witness an event no outsider has ever before seen—the sacred passing of the Keys of St. Peter to a newly elected pope. Swiftly paced and elegantly rendered, The Order will hold readers spellbound, from its opening passages to its breathtaking final twist of plot. It is a novel of friendship and faith in a perilous and uncertain world. And it is still more proof that Daniel Silva is his generation’s finest writer of suspense and international intrigue.
