One yes towards a good experience!

June is about to end and I feel like it started yesterday. Time has flied so fast and when I look back I see why it has gone so fast. I'm working, working and keeping busy after work as well.
No relaxation for me! ;)

This weekend I went out of my comfort zone a bit. Not by doing something different then I'm used to but saying yes when I feel like saying no!
But I'm so glad I said yes in both occasions.

Both occasions gave me something, I met new people and had amazing fun.
When I think back, that's so priceless and I was just one NO away from not experiencing it!
How sad would that have been.

But today is a beginning of a new week with work and new challenges.
I was going to relax this weekend, but that somehow went out of the window.
Relaxation is needed.. I will try to get some today!
Lets see how that goes.
I hope for it.

a live message - inspired!

I'm sitting in a university class room, listening to a friend of mine talking about his experience in making a business plans.
The reason is...
it's Thursday's class in "establish your own company" and we are making sure that participants understand what a business plan is and how to do it!
So important!

So why am I blogging and not listening to carefully?
I wanted to share something with those who read this.

I'm very inspired by people around me.
I'm also working on my own business plan in relations to markets in Asia.
I have many more ideas about possibilities that are lying all over Iceland.
I feel empowered by my own abilities, motivation and passion.
I'm following a dream!

And the best thing is also.. the people here are also following their dreams.
And I'm supporting them in making it come true!
How cool is that??? :)

there is only one thing today that can make life even better ( it's great as it is)and hopefully I will know in 2-3 weeks!
Cross our fingers!

Vision towards impact

June has been a very demotivating month for me regarding writing my thoughts here.
I have many things going on in my mind but they somehow dont feel "writable" here, not sure why.

Even though, things are really happening in my life. I finally got a job, and when I did I managed to get 2 this summer :)
So hopefully I'm getting into a routine and therefore become more effective in using my time ( not that I wasn't - I can be so much better ;) )

There is one thing that I did want to share and that's the regarding family.
I am always learning more and more about my family and what members are interested in.
I'm building relationships with people and I'm working towards great ideas with laughter and motivation.
That is amazing feeling. Becoming closer to family by working and sharing ideas on a topic both people are interested in!
Love it!

And the idea I'm working on is super exciting. Water in Iceland is plenty.. other places face Water Bankruptcy.
I wanna make some positive impact in that area.
Now I'm learning, finding ways if possible and seeing where my idea could be of best use for people both in Asia and also in Iceland.
What an exciting project to be working on.
But of course, as a true entrepreneur and pro activist I have more projects lining up!
What will happen with them will just come clear soon!

But as I still feel a little blank writing here I think this will be the end.
I have work tomorrow and then I will put the 'water project' hat on again and continue finding my path towards impact :)

No wind in my sails today!

There is a saying that says " you never know what you have until you loose it".
Today I'm living this saying, this feeling, this emptiness.

Today I got 2 extremely bad news that just took all the wind out of me. I walked around, went back to bed, cried and reflected.
A person I knew few years ago was found dead at his room yesterday morning. It's so sad to hear. It's always sad when a young person in the prime of life is taken earlier then we expected.
I have not stayed in touch with him for years but we were in the same class all though school. So in a way we grew up together.
He lived in the same street as I did when I was younger but went in a different direction then I did.
That happens.
What surprised me is my reactions.
I cried and cried.
I lost all energy,
and I keep thinking that life's too short to play games and not dream.

A friend told me this and all I could do is think.
Think about why?
A sentence I wrote couple of years ago goes something like this:
"I believe that good people that leave this life too soon are meant to be angels"
I do believe that.
they are meant to guide others from a distance.
They have some knowledge or skill that is needed for others walking on the earth.
I do believe this.

Without all energy today my mind has gone crazy.
thinking about love, life, dreams, hopes, fears and family.
If I only live once I need to get the most out of the life. How?

I feel compassion and sympathy to this young mans family and friends.
I wish them all the best and I hope there will be light in the end of this experience.
I sincerely hope they get through this horrible time.

My mind is still going crazy.
I have things to think about. things to decide and things to try and see if they are meant to be.
We only live once.
Let's make the most of it.

Happiness flowing around

It's been a long time since I actually wanted to write something down, open up and share.
These past days I have been more positive and normally, I smile more and love being around the people in my life.
I mentioned this to my mom the other day and she completely agreed with me. I behave happier :)

One of the things that made me realize this is the fact that no matter where I go I get great service and smiles from people.

I believe in karma, the law of "what goes around, comes around".
I like to talk to happy people, so if I'm sending out positive vibes I hopefully get positive reactions from people.

Life is good and I'm grabbing all opportunities to learn more, meet my friends and make sure I keep on smiling.
If I connect today's feelings to previous post, I still have a crush, but I'm enjoying it. I have decided "whatever happens is the right thing to happen!"
Potentially that is also influencing my happiness level.

Next few days look exciting, they look busy and challenging and I'm glad.
My mom says I'm the most busiest unemployment person she knows ;)
That's good!
I dont want to relax too much just because I dont have a job yet. That is no excuse.

So, now it's all power forward with new task, new potential job, team building and parties.
And of course making sure I stay happy :)
