Agatha Seymour's

I’m preparing for the last night of the year. I say thanks for everything I’ve got this year. For the opportunities, for the teachings of life, for every good and bad. I give thanks for everything I have, for my family, for my friends, for my health, for my job. For the challenges which sometimes knock me out, for the beautiful moments, which give me strength for further challenges. Then I prepare my sexiest clothes since it’s only worth saying farewell to the old year and great the new one in your best shape!

Since I’m a practicing Buddhist I meditate regularly. The main goal of meditation is to reduce the difference between the state experienced during meditation and the state after meditation. During Buddhist meditation we experience that each moment is loaded with endless opportunities and that we are full of energy and can look forward to every second. Basically in our everyday life we get tired because we see the things surrounding us from the same perspective, the same things happen to us and we react in the same way all the time and don’t try consciously to change it. We get so wearied in it that we often feel ourselves unable to continue. Meditate if you can because it has curing effects!

Sometimes I get lost among my things and I tend to forget that I’m the main resource for myself that’s why it’s important to pay attention to my inner needs, to feed myself emotionally and intellectually and to turn to myself with love. Since throughout my life it’s been me who has fought through with me the hard moments when no one else could be there, when no one else supported me, when no one else encouraged me. So every single day when I look into the mirror in the morning, with an encouraging look I whisper to myself to give me strength for the future: For me You are my Hero!

I don’t like trusting my job on anyone else. In my experience, it’s only me who can fulfill a job exactly as I’ve dreamt it, that’s why I always pay attention to every detail. Sometimes I find a mistake in an archived writing which was published two weeks earlier and from one or two weeks distance I decide that there is no need for so many ‘ifs’ and ‘thats’. The responsibility of a done job is always mine, even after weeks when it’s met the reader.

I consider appearances, in the good sense of the word, very important; since I believe that our appearance is the ticket to the world. As I see it, no matter how charming personality you are if your appearance doesn’t impress people enough to make friends with you, to get to know you, even though you might be a brilliant mind it remains hidden since you don’t show yourself to others. By this I don’t intend to say that everybody must parade in fashionable and expensive clothes, but our appearance is the extension of our personality. We provide information to people with it about our life-style, our thinking, our habits. And what is a well-dressed person like? Smart but not sensational.

If you’re used to realizing your plans you start devising plans all the time. It was hard to get used to dealing with the first step and the last one, but after a while I learned it. I plan in advance what the first step, the second and the next and the next one will be on the road leading up to my aim. If the whole plan is ready I get down to realizing the first step with intense concentration. Fulfilling a new aim, even though you have some routine, is always like starting an entirely new big project. It’s quite hard to concentrate exclusively on what I’m doing that moment solely on that one thing, instead of daydreaming. However, it’s the key to efficiency, to be present at the moment and do your best 100% in it! If you want to know more about the writer please visit agathaseymour.com

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.  

I’m a practicing Buddhist. It provides me immense help in every field of life. If you get acquainted with some of Buddha’s teachings your everydays are going to be much happier. One of his most useful teachings is that you shouldn’t identify yourself with anything that is not You. Existence is eternal and continuous, consequently you can’t identify yourself with anything that is constantly changing. You are not one with your body, which is getting older and older every minute. You are not one with your thoughts, since hundreds of them rush through your mind in a glimpse of an eye and you are not one with your feelings since you can even preserve them for minutes. Those who can overcome these, they enrich their life with a huge present. I warn you beforehand that it is not as easy as it seems…  If you want to know more about the writer please visit: agathaseymour.com

I’ve tried so many times to carry out my big plans in one single step. Didn’t work out. Then I realized that everything needs time. Things and work must ripen. Consistent, hard work always pays off. I guess it’s because the attention and power that is invested every single day into something that is important for us, suddenly comes back multiplied. I’ve been trying to solve this mystery and I still can’t come up with anything better than we must love whatever we do, otherwise we won’t be able to hold on for such a long time so that it can find us again.

Who doesn’t ask that doesn’t get. That’s why I try to be brave enough to utter my desires and wishes! Let it be private life, work, hobby, or anything else I don’t hide it from others what I want. I’ve experienced that those who keep their wishes in secret, don’t express them, don’t share them with others, their desires won’t be fulfilled and remain uncompleted and unfulfilled. Later we can’t blame anybody why they didn’t find out what kind of plans we cherished inside. Nobody is able to achieve great goals on his/her own, we depend on each other whether we like it or not. You’ll be surprised to see how much help is available which you couldn’t even have dreamt about. If you want to know more about the writer please visit: agahtaseymour.com
