By creativecoach | Published: January 23, 2012

“Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.”

What motivated them to make a change were not better financial conditions but search for meaning in their work life. By following the need to work with passion, they found more joy and fulfillment in their daily work life after turning trajectory of their careers. Read more to know their stories.

And how about you – are you working with purpose? Are you passionate about what you are doing?

Reflexions over events in Libya

By creativecoach | Published: October 21, 2011

Life controversies brought me back to writing. Yesterday world heard about the death of Muammar al-Gaddafi, the authocratic ruler of Libya  from 1969 till 2011. First thing that I have noticed about this fact in media were pictures of wounded Gaddafi (and even movies shot by random people with phones). The question had been brought to many – was death of a former Libyan dictator a result of a lynch and inhumane treatement? Some people were celebrating on the streets of Libya after hearing the news, others felt relieved – as world wide press informed. Although predictable that sooner or later Gaddafi would be captured – somehow it feels offensive how he was treated.

About seeing possibilities

By creativecoach | Published: July 10, 2011

“Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities”  -Terry Josephson

Recently I read a book “The Art of Possibility” by Benjamin and Rosamund Zander. It struck me with some of the ideas and stories on how to create a world of possibilities and how to live in it. Book was written by orchestra conductor, famous speaker with his wife who is a therapist. It is full of extraordinary examples on how to respond to situations with open mind, not allowing your critic to get a primary voice. And yesterday I had a chance to practice giving A. If you are curious what is it about keep on reading…

About loving compassion that creates a better world

By creativecoach | Published: May 20, 2011

“It is easy to love in perfect conditions, but if all is perfect how we can express our love truly? It remains unseen among the perfection. It cannot prove its value. That’s why life challenges us to express our love in imperfect environment so we can learn how to transform all that is into perfection.”

Today I want to share a story of a 16-year-old boy and my insights about love of our times. Here is a story.

Great life reminders – 100 things to be grateful for: Love

By creativecoach | Published: May 20, 2011

“Love is the most beautiful among all the miracles of this world. So when it has been given to you, take it and go with its flow. Love, be crazy and don’t ask what is going to be next. Listen to your heart even when your mind is trying to sabotage you with its fears. Some people stay together because of the common sense, but leaving someone you love because it seems reasonable is stupidity of not allowing your heart to speak. Love is more powerful than any fear of being hurt.”

“Be grateful that love gave you a chance to grow and become better so you could better serve this world.”

“Even when you feel all is lost, be grateful for having a chance to love someone who brought joy and happiness to your life and made it beautiful even for a moment. Keep this feeling with you as it was a gift given to you by someone who loved you truly. Love is eternal. Learn the lesson not to make the same mistake again when love knocks at your door again.”

“Nothing in this universe has ever touched and will ever touch me as deeply as words, caresses, and love of my lover. It is incomparable to anything else, not even ‘unique’ or ‘special’ come close to describing it”

About hope

By creativecoach | Published: May 8, 2011

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune-without the words,
And never stops at all… - Emily Dickinson

“Know when to hold ‘em, and when to fold ‘em.” ~ Gambler’s wisdom

Hope is the belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life. I decided to write about it because I think that hope should be present and strengthen in everyday life and also because sometimes people repeat that hope is a mother of fools and actually believe in this statement, forgetting about, also very known riposte: that hope is perhaps a mother of fools but as every mother she cares about her children and wants only good for them.

Living more inspiring life: Day 25

By creativecoach | Published: April 21, 2011

“We love because it’s the only true adventure.” – Nikki Giovanni

Time got me in a loop. Well this post comes as a final one of this series and it actually needed some time to be born. It also comes as a short summary of those 25 days of living more inspired life :) Up to this point I understood more than I expected and not only I could see how my attitude towards life was changing but also how new stories and new people were appearing in my life bringing more and more inspiration and poking me to open my eyes. This led to inner change which in my case is surprising…For the first time in my life I can truly say I like being in my country (Poland), I feel great in here and for the first time it doesn’t make me run away, having this amazing power to sway me amid spring, giving me safe haven, which I tried to find in the world. I totally love where I am right now! Just like I love when I am travelling. Just now when love of my life is on the other side of this world…

Living more inspiring life missing posts: Days 9-13

By creativecoach | Published: April 12, 2011

Some time ago I mentioned about the lost posts from my long weekend trip. Well I am uploading them in this massive post attack right now and smiling to you while reading them as well. Well it is true what is said about travelling – no matter how big or small the travel is, it always brings some fresh look and observations to our daily life. Isn’t it? In my case it was also about moving. Every time I move I feel great, hunting for new adventures on the way. Moving target is harder to get so it might be that it is my life instinct calling me to travel ;P Well might be and whatever it is it brings inspiration and protects me from too much familiarity…So off, off we go!
