As everyone has my ups and downs and also get me forgetting to make the big turn.
And still has the usual phrase that serves as a promise of the new year: I AM CHANGING LIFE.
How many times have we heard in one conversation or another, someone who has changed lives.
I have heard cases of yoga teachers tired of the quiet life and become great executives and
I have heard cases of great executives who have tired and have set up a small inn on any beach.
Yeah. In this liquid world, everything changes quickly.
Zygmunt Bauman, a Polish sociologist, defines a liquid life as a society in which the conditions under which its members act change in a shorter time than is necessary for the consolidation, in habits and routines, of ways of acting. The liquidity of life and society feed and reinvigorate each other. Liquid life, just like society, can not keep fit or stay in its course for long. Liquid life is a succession of restarts, and that is precisely why the quick, painless endings without which to restart would be unimaginable, tend to be the most challenging moments and the most disturbing headaches.
Between the arts of modern-day life and the skills needed to practice them, getting rid of things takes priority over acquiring them.
I am saying this because I believe that the art of looking at time, which schedules our commitments, is intimately linked to the time of our souls.
I do not suggest trying to stop the consumption that knocks at my door every day or yours, but rather to look for something that in the day-to-day you can no longer see or make fit in your daily agenda.
I want to propose to you, the custom of listening back to your routine. I want you to have the quiet of the night, the evening eyelash, the uncompromising snack, the sight to see without having to have it. I want you to see art for art, music for music, friendship for friendship.
Look at the hourglass of life as one who looks at the window of life. Take your time.
The only certainty we have about it is that it is finite. So make your time your best stay on the planet.
Happy 2018 and that we meet among coffees, teas, laughter and deep transformations. A beautiful and long life turn!
