Creating a Breakthrough Moment- Huffington Post Blog

At the risk of being vulnerable I have finally finished my semi-memoir and ready to share it with the world! Yes- every female teenager and her parents along with every human being that has or will be going through a similar experience. The first stop for my new book "The Burden of My Red Lips in Tehran" is with the Huff Post Blog! The first place to make it so (soo) public. Check out the link below and enjoy it to the max!

Sortify

Are you proud of who you are? Are you thinking about giving up? Do you think it has been easy?
Well for starters, IT IS easy and simple only you make it complex.

If you are "lots" awkward or "more than lots" awkward you should be very proud of your awkwardness, because it's who you are. Remember, there is no one else like you. You are that unique item in the department store with nothing else like you in storage or inventory or placing a back-up order. In other words who said there was anything wrong with being weird?! Do you want to live your life sucking up to what other people think living and being is or do you want to be your own creator? Choose the latter and enjoy every molecular moment of being, creating, and absorbing.

Letting Go is always closer to your dreams

Sometimes you feel that it’ll never come true, that your desires are distant objects you will never reach nor touch in this world. Now, when you don’t come close to having them and you desperately await their arrival it does feel as it you are floating around in time lacking something. That’s when it always hits me- that even without that I am complete and exactly on the right path with precisely the right people and everything I need in life. Yup- you guessed it- I am whole even without the desires that I wish to manifest. They will eventually come out when the time is exactly right and while you are just enjoying life.

If you focus you will see that it comes into your life so easily and freely without you digging and searching. If you do dig and put too much energy then you are definitely, 100% on the wrong path. That path, is the path of experience, where the training kicks in. Gym time!
 

Live everyday like it’s your last but take into perspective your limitations- and bend and play with it to your liking- while you are training on your path in life. This was the most important lesson I got from “The Burden of my Red Lips in Tehran”. Take the road less traveled- you will survive with ease.

Tender-lutely Gotham

A word that means so much but shocks me when some permit it to fall in between the gaps is: authenticity.

That said I don't know why many like to be viewed in a particular accepted way as opposed to solely being themselves. Some are even scared to confess such a horrific realization.

Mornings, once stepping on to the bus I see people getting on and hopping off slowly. Some are in their won world, some happy, some sad, and some don't care how they are perceived most likely because they don't know one another. So they don't have to put forth the effort and connect. The one flaw I have perceived is trying too hard to connect or some being fearful of connecting. However way classified, the formula is you being you without fear of judgement.

As I get off the bus in Manhattan's Chelsea District I feel and UN-feel this ingredient as pedestrians walk by gazing at one another trying to gain approval. At times, I can totally feel like one when I realize I too have lost awareness. Sadly, it maybe the city effect but interestingly many can and choose to be aware of the golden ingredient underneath. Many should throw away the carried mask for fear of being emotionally stabbed aka judged. Judgements cannot pin anyone down unless you allow yourself to stay down. Be the rock star that you are or stay awkward. Nothing wrong with being you even if it results in being alone.

New York Flakes

Some days in New York City it is predicted to be snowy and some days sunny. This always has an 'effect' in the daily operations of one's day- of course speaking for myself.

You start your day out with meditation and yoga letting sentences like "Have gratitude," and "You never know what will happen the next moment so live everyday like it's your last," and "Let everything that happens go through you and solely be an observer," and "Everything that happens, happens for a reason, "Life is too short to think about issues that worry you," and the list goes on and on. Well, with all that said in my head, I still hit dead ends.

But then I think the most important and really only reason to keep on moving forward  is that "There IS a reason to all of this, a reason that I am far from understanding and comprehending but I should keep moving forward with the mystery engraved in my head knowing this whole life is a mystery". There you have it. The one and only reason to keep on having the best day of your life. To go a bit deeper into that sentence: the black and white gives us character but the only catch is to realize they are solely illusions and what remains are our feelings- the invisible connection. The ONLY connection that makes the world go round.

Every little thought and situation happens for a reason. A reason that you may not know  the reason to but that’s the beauty of it! Put energy into it and smile. Today, maybe your last day so do what it is you want to do and don’t fall short. Turn your annoying mental thoughts off, focus the outcome with your heart, and whatever you desire will come into reality when you LET GO.
