Travel Life With Vân

There are so much things going wrong in this planet. So why should we trust anything really ? In philosophy and in Buddhism, we are taught that it’s because there is bad that there is good. That the earth in is entirety is exercising balance and that we don’t have the whole picture to understand everything that is going on here.

I think it was in an episode of « One Day at the Time » that the writers put a sentence delivered by the amazing Rita Moreno saying that God had to be a man because if he was a woman, there will be less problems in this world.

To me, there is so much truth to those words that I laughed my heart out !

Most recently though and as back as living in reality goes, I was lucky enough to actually witness one of those life changing situation. So it got me thinking, what do we learn from waiting for our dreams to come true ? Why this process to be able to realize our goals and access to a different stage of our destiny ?

For most of us, the hardest part is waiting, patience is not known to be the biggest strength of human beings. Especially in society nowadays. When people want something, they tend to want it now, as fast as they can and with the best quality they can get. I feel like there is no room for actually desiring something so badly, you woke up everyday thinking about what you can do to reach your aim. But I am in that period right now. And I’m trying to make the most out of it. Working on myself, my skills and capacities.

We need time to built ourselves to the right place of mind where while doing our best, we know how to control this new power given, enjoy it and spread it positively around ourselves. The patience that I lack of is forcing me to grow and be ready to accept the new chapter of my life when this one will come to an end.

Though, the curiosity of knowing if not only I will be able to work in the industry that I would love to grow in but also if I could rise there is, at times, eating me alive. Could I even be able to work and do a job that I love or is the reality setting in, the dream was shinier than the real deal ? Is it even my path to take ? My destiny to complete ?

That is why you shouldn’t be alone during this adventure. You should have a support system that are here for you and see you coming up. Trust me, you’ll need that later.

Throughout our lives, waiting or realizing ourselves, we are going to meet all different kinds of people. With experience, you will found out the ones that you love and that are going to lift you up and the ones that you have to learn from.

Personally, I let this mess to be all cleared up with time. While it does its course, I learn to be the best version of myself and try to have an amazing entourage that does the same, that helps me and that inspires me.

Because people tend to brought out the most extreme emotions we can feel. I choose to breathe and let it all in, all those range of feelings that’s growing inside me and that’s surrounding me. And then, I let them invade me, just for a few moments, to understand what I’m feeling and to learn from it. Isn’t it the whole point of experience ? Trying new things and figuring out what works the best for us ?

So when we’ll know, when we’ll be ready to go after our hopes and dreams, we’ll know exactly what we want and approximately what we’ll have to do to get there.

Like Mariane did. She knew what she wanted and how to get it. And now ? I’m proud of her, I am proud for her, of what she could achieve and yet what she will become.

But first and foremost, what she succeeded in ! Mariane made it ! She wanted a stable job in France that puts her out of her confort zone, that challenges her, that gives her a ticket to citizenship. And now ?

I am not saying that it’s easy nor that there’s not going to be lots of trials. But she reached it ! She got her primary goal !

And from now on, nothing can’t stop her because she did the hard part. So everything will be more than fine. And just for that, I’m so happy for her.

Because not only we had hope but now we have the proof that we can do it and there are people out there who support you and believe in you.

But what if she didn’t had to wait ? What if she didn’t had to endure this whole process to get there ? She said that she would not have appreciated it fully and as it deserves to be celebrated.

Because every experiences, every hardships, every little moments, every decisions that we make brings us to a future that we never could’ve imagine in our wildest dreams and craziest hopes. Because living life little by little, we have to enjoy it while our time runs out and preparing ourselves to the amazing things that are going to happen in our lives. We have to trust and believe everything will eventually fall into place at the right time, for the right reasons and in the rights circumstances. We have to take this leap of faith.

Otherwise, why could you hold on to, to keep on going ?
