“Fail it till you make it.”

I recently stumbled upon this expression on a TV show, and I was curious - is this really how the power of self-belief works?

It seems to me that it's like any other statement. On the one hand, you may actually be growing and evolving in the direction of the mask you put on. If you're perfectly in character, your thoughts, actions, and habits are completely adopted from your ideal.

On the other hand, if you have even the slightest doubt about what you are doing, everything goes to waste. You get tired quickly, you become irritable, because it's like wearing clothes that are not your size - sooner or later they will become uncomfortable. And you get lost between fiction and reality, between who you are and who you try to appear to be. People around you notice it, too. You look like an arrogant upstart in their eyes, not a professional.

And yet there's something to it. What if you create the new persona you want to become based on who you are and the resources you possess? In this case, your new identity should fit you like a suit ordered from a good tailor. Yes, it may be unusual or even uncomfortable at first, but afterward, it will become favorite outfit.

I like the idea so much that I want to try it, don't you?

The topic of this post will be unexpected conversations.

Perhaps unexpected conversations are the most unpredictable and useful things that happen to us. They can happen at home in the kitchen, in the park on a bench, on a walk... Even the very person who expressed a healing thought can be anyone - a friend, a family member, a passerby, a neighbour. Such conversations happen at crucial moments in our lives, as if to suggest the right path. In them you can forgive yourself old mistakes or understand how to correct them, heal old wounds. Just one thing said in a conversation becomes something that takes you out of the labyrinth of your own thoughts, making you free from the exorbitant weight you were carrying before.

Unexpected conversations remind me of autumn - they allow me to slow down, to think, to shed all unnecessary things and go on with clear thoughts.

We get to know the world through out the five senses of sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. We were told about this as children. But recognizing/understanding happens through something else.

Intuition is considered to be the sixth sense, but I think it is more correct to make it the seventh. Let's leave it as it is and call emotions the seventh (like the seven wonders of the world).

Emotions can be triggered by anything - the sun, rain, a person, music, poems, clothes, a perfume, a picture, a book....

When I was writing this post, I wondered what is the different between emotions and feelings? Here is what the first link in Google gave me: "An emotion is more vivid and intense. It can be expressed in the form of joy, anger, fear or sadness. A feeling can be more subtle and hidden, for example, love, gratitude or regret. Feelings arise from emotions, not the other way around"....

Quite precise and beautiful.

Emotions connect us to people, things, places... They connect us to these worlds.

In this blog, I want to share what connects me to this world. Sometimes there will be book reviews, sometimes my amateur sketches, sometimes photos of places.

Anyone, who joins me on this journey, is welcome.
