A few years ago, after a series of unfortunate circumstances, or at least i thought so at the time, I decided to exercise simplicity and solitude. I took a step forward, with the assistance of the few people who remained by my side, and took a good, serious and honest look to the person on the mirror. I saw the me I was refusing to see for so long. I rediscovered the true nature of my soul, a soul I had lost along the way. I realized how cynical I had become because of the many events that have happened. In true honesty, I didn't like the person that was looking back at me. I didn't recognize that woman in the mirror. I realized that my words and actions were not in balance, they were divergent from the things I thought I knew and wanted in life... People and things were lost against my will, but after a while, I start learning more about what was happening, why it was happening, and understood that most of the events had my own hand behind it....you know? like I was self-sabotaging myself...seeing all that, shook me to the core. I decided it was time to eliminate all the clutter I had been keeping...I started a triage, first with the voices inside and, as I came to discover, many of them were just plain wrong, pre-conceived ideas, advises based on failed past experiences, pre-labeling people and experiences based on my past, usually not giving them a fresh look and the opportunity to prove me wrong....who, after all, likes to be wrong, right??? I used to believe that if I was alone I was a looser, that if I let myself to truly love someone I would be betrayed once again, that if I was not surrounded by people, my life was boring, that if I didn't have an event or place to go every weekend I was unloved. Learning the difference between loneliness and solitude was the cornerstone of the new foundation towards the peaceful and balanced place I stand today. Taking the time to learn about myself, owning the mistakes I have made, learning from them,  ignoring the voice that kept on telling me that it was too late to change, learning to say I am sorry and to forgive others and most importantly: myself, realizing that clutter just keeps me distracted and apart from the things I truly wanted has broaden my horizons, my vision, my heart and my mind. That for me, is abundance. N. Cardosov 11/27/2013
