Читать книгу The secret of happiness. Fairy tale advent of a successful woman, mother and a grandmother - Светлана Миеттинен - Страница 7

Our fears and other negative emotions are a burden. Fear compresses or freezes a person. I know this feeling well. There is also a saying: the eyes are afraid, and the hands are doing. In this sense, our ancestors passed this lesson and left us a good legacy. It is necessary to step over barriers just once and everything will change – the experience of overcoming and self-confidence will appear. One of these barriers for me was to rent a car and drive around Norway. The people who visited this country will know what I’m talking about. It’s a beautiful country with beautiful views of the fjords and countless long tunnels. I needed to do this in the course of my work. In this situation, I looked my fears in the eyes. For the first time, I gathered all my courage and started to drive. In the tunnel, I constantly prayed and asked for help. I turned my fear into fuel to perform the necessary actions. Fear is only a mental mechanism or a stamp of what may happen in the future. In fact, it does not exist, it’s only our emotions about a possible future. The source of this may be the memories of the past or information from media or conversations heard. In the past, fear was necessary to survive, from wild beasts and other things. We live in a modern society and at the level of our consciousness there are traces of our centuries-old history.

Fear is the same as getting out of your comfort zone in an unknown setting. By developing daily, we leave our comfort zone to gain new level of knowledge of life. Three hundred or more years ago, seamen sailed into the sea despite their fear, fascinated by the idea of knowing the unknown. It is desirable to replace the old mechanisms with new ones, which gives us strength and energy. That is, we ourselves mold the future we desire, creating new mental attitudes towards everything. I continue to visit Norway and now I admire its fabulous landscapes. I thought that I did not have the ability to learn foreign languages before I moved to Finland. Now I have lived in Finland for twenty years and I speak Finnish and English.

The possibilities of a person are endless, it is only necessary to remove own limitations of consciousness or outdated matrix of behavior. Recall the state of the child and enthusiastically start a new game. Learning with the help of the game is the most effective way to learn. During the game, the boundaries of the impossible are erased and the result comes harmoniously and easily. Our whole life is a game in the spectacle of life. There are no bad or good people, there are only characters who volunteered to perform this or that role in this amazing adventure called «Life».

Harmony, 2018

«Harmony. It is time to publish this painting that was inspired by my experiences in Bolivia. All is one and everything coexists together. I see the universe as a happy playground for our creativity. Thought and love create our reality. It is important for me to convey the radiance of reality that many people do not see. In my vision, everything sparkles and glimmers, so I use shiny and sparkly paint. We are part of the universe and the universe is within us. Accepting this idea is not always easy. When we look at reality, we enlighten a moment of it. When we look at it from a different angle, another part shines. When I was taking pictures of the painting, every time I changed an angle, a different part of the painting shined. In the same way, the focus in our life, highlights our reality. Thinking about beauty, we notice beautiful things around ourselves. May the radiance of reality illuminate your day»
