Que Será, Será!!!

Every now and then I turn to music to make me feel better, in the past few days the song of "Que Será, Será!!!" was always in my ears. Very often we have worries and concerns about what's going to happen in the future; are we going to be happy, Or if we will ever find somebody to plan our life with, Or if we will be successful at work etc. etc. We always look for reassurance that tomorrow will be better, but it’s not always easy to pull all these worries and concerns to rest.

We all know that more often things do not turn out the way we want them to be, as we all do not have such kind of crystal ball that enable us to see into the future to know what will happen. All we have got to do is to listen to our hearts and realize that our dreams are not just ours but part of the soul of the universe.

The story of Santiago as stated in Paulo Coelho's bestselling novel (The Alchemist), this Andalusian Shepherd boy who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids is a great example of the power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts. Hearts can be treacherous, and the best way to avoid the foolishness of our hearts is to listen to them intently. 

"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” and “And, when you want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist 

The guy who writes these words (which is me) is an Engineer by profession, who always belong to the practical and most realistic party and who used to always focus on how to get over any problem, how to solve it and not to focus on the problem as its something that cannot be handled; as I was taught; people can be divided into two categories: Problem Focused and Problem-Solving Focused, I belong to the second category, this approach has helped me a lot in my career and in my daily life activities but didn't work well when it came to personal feelings and relationships as it made it looks like an emotion-free relationship.

In my opinion, emotions what keep any relationship alive and this is one of the main reasons that, on the personal side, I prefer to listen to the heart, and follow the directions of its signs. We just have to strive to become better and everything around us might become better too. 

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist 

One more reason that drives me to listen to my heart is my willingness to feel loved; when person feels loved, he can do anything in life and he doesn't have to understand what is happening to him, because everything is happening within him and his heart is full of joy. If I listen to my fears, my worries and concerns, will not be able to listen and talk to my heart; in this case I'm opening the door to my fears to drive me to nowhere however I prefer always to know where I'm heading to. 

"Wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist 

We cannot see the future and change what is going to happen to us, whatever will be, will be!!! We will never be able to escape from our hearts, so it's better to listen to what it has to say. I'm only interested in the present, in what's happening to me now; this what will make me happy. If person always concentrate in the present, he will be happy, because life is the moment we are living now.

Listening to the heart, lowering the level of expectations, being contented with less and wishing for more became a way of life for me. These words make me even happier than I used to be. Everything in life happens for a reason, and whatever the reason is, its part of the journey of life. I hope I can be able to keep thinking in the same way for the rest of my life, I hope to be able to help someone, to draw a smile on a face of someone, to give more and expect less, to love and feel loved and the most important for me is to be remembered.

I'm not used to live in dreams, but if I wish to dream; I would dream of spreading my wings and fly and the destination will be, somewhere over the rainbow way up high (It’s one of the favorite songs and wishes for any dreamer) 

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
