There is always an alternative

Hello my Friends, 



There is always an alternative and if there is not let’s create one...

We are the authors of our own life stories, we are free to create our own masterpiece & I would like to share my life story with you. I was born in the Czech Republic in a small town. In year 1994 I moved to Australia. I was young and enthusiastic university graduate, who believed that the whole world is at my feet. My first tears were running down my cheeks when I drove my car, at 2 o’clock in the morning, down the road to the bakery at Toorak in Melbourne to start my first job. My escape plan from this life was to run back home to my home country where my life was comfortable. But instead of running to the airport to “catch” the first plane I marched to the English school & I got an office job at TNT Melbourne. With the luck on my side I became a finance staff member of Monash University community.  


 If there is no alternative let’s create one...

I love travelling and I was lucky enough to see a little bit of this world. Travelling opened my eyes. I met different cultures, different people, experienced different life styles. Was I always happy with what I experienced?  No, I was not. I was not happy to see hungry children, I was not happy to learn about children being abused, exploited. And that’s why I decided to contribute my bit to make this Planet a better place for us and next generation.


If there is no alternative let’s create one...

If there is not the world we are happy about what about if we create a new one...

...the world were honesty, trust, respect, responsibility, sharing and caring for others prevail where suffering is unknown word....
...maybe we start from inside out first because “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (proverb 23:7)

About Life Purpose...


Why are we here?   What's life all about? How shall we live our life to be happy and fulfilled? What is the purpose of all human existence? Amongst all other questions, the most important one seems to be the one regarding our “life”. Is there a meaning of life? And if there is, what is it? How shall we live? Perhaps there is no right or wrong answer but a lot of possibilities and choices to make for our life worth to live. 


It is probably up to us to choose how to make the most of it. It is for us to take responsibility for our actions to create our ”ideal” life and stay respectful to others and the nature. It is for us to get deep down to our heart and ask “what is my own purpose”? and then quietly listen to what our heart has to say. Our heart  is the most powerful vessel and it is the place where the real and genuine answer is to be sought.


But we do not live just for ourselves but for others too.  I believe that living our lives for people around us and making them happy would bring happiness into our hearts. Just remember, how did you feel when you helped someone without expecting anything in return? I think that helping others while allowing them to learn and grow from their own experience is the most rewarding emotion we, human beings, could have. 


And what is my message to all of us? Could we open our hearts for compassion and empathy for others, especially those who are less fortunate?  Bringing happiness into our and other's hearts can make our Planet the place the most of us wish to live in.............
 



I would like you to read the words of wisdom psychiatrist Victor Frankl, the Nazi concentration camp survivor, derived  into from his experiences there... 


"Being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself -- be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself -- by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love -- the more human he is." Victor Frankl
