The path to success

The path to success is not straight.We don't wake up one morning and say we are succesful.On our way to achieve success we will find curves,loops,obstacles,which means that we will meet failure,confusion,enemies,hesitation,and a lot more that will hold us back,and delay us from reaching our dreams .

But what is SUCCESS?

Success is obtaining what we want.It's a life project,on which we have to be working continuously,and following one step after another with faith, persistance and determination.

First of all we have to be clear about what success means for us.Success has a different definition for people.What we really need is to have a vision,and to have faith that we will make this vision a reality.

We need to plan our future,and take action today.We have to be fearless about failure,and learn from our mistakes.But the most important is to have a positive attitude as our mind is more powerful than what we have thought.

Constantinos Kavafis a great Greek Poet wrote:

.When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road is long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.

........and success will finally come,even having the experience of the journey of life is success!!

From your Valentine

Happy Valentine's day to all!!

Saint Valentine's day is celebrated in many countries,it's a festive of love,and people use to exchange cards and gifts as an expression of their love to each other.

The most popular martyrology of Saint Valentine is that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry,and for ministering to Christians who were persecuted under the Roman Empire.During his imprisonment he fall in love with the daughter of his jailer,and before his execution,he wrote "From your Valentine",as a farewell to her!

The day is associated with romantic love,or better say,devoted to love and romance!
Authors and poets have been trying to capture love in words for thousands of years.Here are some quotes of love,

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
- Aristotle

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
- Lao Tzu

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

About Friendship

Friends-Friendship.These are so strong and so important words in our lives,and blessed are those who have true friends!Blessed and lucky at the same time,because all of us have friends,and some of us have many,but how many of those are truly good friends,who love sincerely and care?

A friend must love without terms,must be there for you, in bad moments he will cry with you and try to give you strenght,and in good moments he will be happy for you.

A friend must not be competitive,and try to prove that he is better,on the contrary,a friend must encourage the other to go on, and be happy to see his friend succeeding,and living a beautiful life!The words above

"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile... But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me."

- Unknown

The above words,said by an uknown person,are so kind and true,and reflect the meaning of friendship!

Honesty,sincerity,care,love,faith,loyalty,are some characteristics of a true friend,what we should seek from a friend,but the most important,what we should offer to a friend!!!

Writing a successful post on my blog

Are there rules in writing a post?
It seems that if someone wants to write a succesful post,he has to follow a motif or several steps in order to catch the attention of the reader and keep his interest till the end of the article!

There are many sites and blogs that give us advice and tips of how to write a great blog content.But even with all this help,why can't i follow and do what they say we should do?I like to write what comes out of my heart even if this is not considered as a professional article!

My biggest hurdle is to decide what the topic will be,and then comes the doubt!!Is it a good subject?Will someone want to go through and read it to the end?Am i a good writer?What the title is going to be?

These and more questions are bothering my mind.We all know that a powerful title is very important to attract more readers to the post,so we have to be creative and put our imagination to work so to find a good title and that should be from 5 to 10 words the most.

Then we have to think what our goal is?What do we want to accomplish by writing an article?My target at this point is to express myself,my thoughts,and of course to keep my blog fresh and running.

And now we come to writing.Words are floating out of my mind,and i say- hey this is an easy thing to do.
But is not easy at all,this is an article that i want others to read,and this makes me hesitate to continue.What do i do?Do i stop here and delete what i wrote,being afraid that people will not like my post?

No,i get the decicion to go ahead,after all we are all humans,and we all have the right to make mistakes,but also the right to express ourselves in a way that matters for us!!
