Today is my birthday and for the first time I am writing about it like that. Usually in all the social networks I am hiding my date of birth from my friends because we don't really know close each others. And it is fun and strange how close friends can forget about the birthday but lots of unknown random people are writing some wishes and sending some images as a gift cards to me if the date gets revealed somehow.
But for the Steem I've decided to write a post here because this platform is unique. Lots of people really write something meaningful here and it's easy and interesting for me to get friends on Steem.
It was a calm day. I've just got back from the silence course yesterday evening, drawn one more new illustration before sleep and had a good rest then. Course was great but in fact I was not in silence. I had been translating everything into Russian there plus I've conducted all the morning yoga sessions during these five days. I think the most precious gift for me happened even before birthday there. Seeing how beautifully that more than 100 people changes in their faces. Becoming more peaceful, contented, centered and joyful from day to day. This is the real meaning of life. To do something good for others.
Gift from my sister
![]() | My sister gifted me the best: she finally started her Steem blog. |
A week ago she screw up with her newly registred account (opened the confitmation link on Mac, generated the password, copied it to the notes but didn't logged in on Mac, then she opened same link on iPhone and got the new password, logged in but lost the pass cause she didn't wrote it down, she thought that one from Mac should be correct one). So I've given her away my old account I've planned to use for the community but never started. She is the mother of four kids! Let us support her together!
My Birthday Manifest
I would like to give myself an advice here:
Dear Fil, fight the inertia in life as strong as possible. Do anything just to get rid of it. Dejectedness is the heaviest sin. Don't allow it to overtake you. Enlighten your enthusiasm with any creative things you like to do. Don't loose any minute in past, use any possibility to stay in this moment right now. Do not let your emotions to become stronger than you. Do good even if sometimes it gets boring or looks as if you lose your time. Dive deeper in yourself and take the treasures from there out. Do show and share them with others. You can do it only by exceeding your limitations. Be keen and have a patience. Take care of the thin string of connection with others. Make it stronger. Glorify the the greatness of a bigger mind in others. Try to become wast borderless ocean of love and compassion. You are strong hand of something big. Think globally. Be grateful of all you have and don't have. This is the plan. Happy Birthday!
I think it's good to celebrate every single day as if it is your birthday. In fact it is. You are here. You are alive. You can breathe. And you can do lots more. Want to wish all of you big love, prosperity, health and intelligence.
P.S. I've been invited and joined community finally. Let's see how it will go next month.
