It's comforting to read this, right? You know the reason why I want to talk about such positive affirmations is that I know, because I've been there, that there are a lot of people in the world that are worried about life. They are anxious and they are asking themselves if they are doing it right. So because of my experience with it, I want to help. I think that it is really important and necessary to trust life and yourself, to move on and to be open to what might come your way. So let's build a little bit more trust.

« I'm not where I want to be ». I'm sure you have had a similar thought than this one. Am I right when I say you have felt out of place, you have felt like you don't belong where you are right now, you have felt like a stranger to yourself and to the people close to you? Am I right when I say that you have felt totally lost at times, that you felt like maybe there was just no way for you and that all of this was for nothing? You felt like it was easier to just give up and not try anymore.

Maybe you are having these thoughts right now, as you are reading this. Are you? Because if yes, that's fine. You are fine. And you are on the right path.

I know you are questioning a lot of things, but you know what? I am able to give you one answer right now. The answer to why I can tell you that you are on the right path.
It is because you are here. I know...kind of silly, but it's true.

- Imagine for a moment that you are pulling out the crown of your clock, the hands of the clock stop moving, you just stopped time. Everything around you stopped to move and your thoughts stopped to spin around in your mind. It is calm in your mind right now. Weird feeling, right? But it is calm. The only thing you can hear and feel is your beating heart. You are alive.
As long as you can feel your heartbeat, as long as you are alive you are given the opportunity to make a step more. A step more to be a better person, a step more to your dreams, a step more to the place you want to go. You can do it. You are given the chance to do it. In fact, you can do it today, right now.If you couldn't feel your heartbeat, you wouldn't be here anymore and that would mean that you arrived at your final destination. But you are not. You are not at your final destination. You are on the way to your final destination. And this destination is wherever you want it to be. So get up and go.

- Now pull that crown back in, the hands of the clock continue to move. The truth is, you can not really stop time. It is a nice thought though. To think that we can stop time to put things in place and have a little bit more time to think about our next move. But time never stops, you have to use the time that is given to you. You have time right now, actually. Use it. Because there is a higher power that can stop your time at any time. Literally at any time. And you will be totally unable to change anything, once your time comes.

I don't know what you believe in, but there is something that is stopping life at some point. A point nobody knows why? Why now? Why not later? And to do that is beyond any scientific explanation. So I think we can agree on this higher power. Whatever it might be for you. So maybe, probably, you're not where you want to be right now. Whether it is emotionally or physically. Maybe you are not doing the job you want to do, maybe you don't have the body you want to have, maybe you don't live in the place you want to live, the list goes on.

But the place where you are right now is teaching you something. It is preparing you for your next step. You are learning. If you look closely and pay attention to the things that are happening to you, you will see it. And it will all make sense to you soon. Because everything that happens, happens for a reason. And no, you are not stuck. I know sometimes it feels like it, but you are never stuck. Time moves, you move. I know that maybe all of this doesn't make sense to you right now.

But give yourself time, it's fine. You read it, now let is « simmer » somewhere in your head. Your time will come and you'll understand.

What I try to keep in mind when I'm struggling with this, and I want you to keep that in mind too or write it down somewhere:

« I might not be where I want to be, but I am exactly where I need to be ».
