For a long time I’ve been immersed in the self-development world. I attended conferences, seminars and workshops, after some years I would be on the other side: I organized workshops, I lead weekend programs a bit through all the Western World and I spoke in conferences.

Nowadays I like to see myself as away from that universe. Now I am just a person living his life and having the best time that he can. That’s it. I don’t want to be saved, to be fixed or to change who I am or the world around me.

I believe that deep change, real, everlasting change only comes trough acceptance. Total acceptance of who you are, what happened to you and of your fate. Put in simpler terms acceptance of the past, present and future.

You might say that it is not as easy as that, that there is a lot more to it… And you might be right, I don’t want to enter in an never ending discussion about what works better. I am only narrating my experience and what has worked for me.
