CALILO PHILOSOPHY
PODCAST
PODCAST
How can one find happiness? Is happiness something you find or something you create yourself? Can we be successful and happy at the same time? How can we become more connected with our truth? These are just a few questions and topics that the Calilo Philosophy podcast strives to answer.
Created by Angelos Michalopoulos, the show centres around its philosophy of “Calilo”, which stands for “Create a Life you Can Fall in love With”, and aims to start a conversation on the ways we can all become more aware, conscious and most importantly, happier human beings. He believes that life doesn’t come with an instruction book… we have to write it ourselves, one mistake at a time; thus, aiming to share what he has learned so far in his own journey of Calilo through this podcast with the hope that his words will provide you with comfort, optimism, truth whenever and if you ever need them.
New episodes will be realised weekly, covering a number of topics such as: self-knowledge, happiness, success, self-acceptance, negativity, human relationships.
Follow the show on instagram @calilo_philosophy and share with us your thoughts.

Liars have all it takes to be sad
because, by fearing the truth,
they end up fearing their own soul that produces it....
To protect ourselves from what we shouldn’t know,
we live by learning a lot and forgetting even more....
Life doesn’t come with a manual.
We have to write it ourselves, one mistake at a time....
It’s easier to go around the world than around our souls....
As long as we don’t learn our weaknesses,

...
Life has two choices and countless excuses....
As long as we choose not to learn our weaknesses,
we will never discover all we can accomplish with our strengths....
Every time we tell the truth to ourselves,
we honor the person we have the ability to be
and every time we lie to ourselves
we spit in their face....
Winners and happy people discover their strengths
before their weaknesses discover them.
The rest are doomed
to keep on hunting and getting hunted....
We need most what we most lack....
If we don’t know who we are,
we will find it under the lies
we’ve told ourselves to hide it.
That's why the lies we tell ourselves
know better than anyone the truth about who we are....
Let us stop making excuses
that we can’t find out who we are.
We will find out who we are,
when we begin telling ourselves the truth so we can uncover all the lies

After years of lying to ourselves,
we have become so fake and artificial that we've ended up knowing ourselves as little as needed to feel miserable....
Extreme self–confidence breeds
either gigantic triumphs or shocking disasters, but nothing in between....
In our quest to look charming,
we often become as fake as it takes to feel ugly....

We adore mediocrity more than we hate it because it’s very easy to be mediocre, much more difficult to be good
and unbearably hard to be perfect....

Every moment we enjoy life,
we defeat the ugliness our weaknesses produce, without even having to fight them....
When logic hits the brakes,
pleasure accelerates....
The most beautiful moments of our life are those when we feel so content
and proud of the truth of who we are, that we no longer feel the slightest need to lie to ourselves....

It’s often more profitable to become someone else, if you don’t mind the misery

Celebrate happiness and explain sadness.
To enjoy life, let’s celebrate beauty
by showering the people around us with our happiness and disarm ugliness
by explaining our sadness to ourselves,...

We will defeat sadness,
one explanation at a time.
Every moment we manage to explain to ourselves the real reason why we are sad,
we disarm another part of our sadness....
We’ll enjoy life when we celebrate as much as we can everything that wants to make it beautiful
and disable as quickly as we can
everything that wants to make it ugly....
We are only worthy of our dreams
we give birth to as reality....
We live at the mercy of everything we leave unexplained....

Strength is the explanation of weakness. Happiness is the explanation of sadness....

Nobody becomes happy accidentally.
Happy are the people who don’t believe in their sadness....
We either create happiness out of truth,
or sadness out of lies....
Happiness is to live by constantly throwing in the garbage
the person that the people around you want you to be
and become who you really are....
We waste a large part of our lives
trying to avoid discovering
how incompetent we are at enjoying it....
We feel happy when we deserve our happiness....
Sweat + security + truth = happiness....
Victory by explanation.
Strength is the explanation of weakness.
Happiness is the explanation of sadness....

As long as we choose not to learn our weaknesses,

Start your souls!
Start your souls and throw away the key so you will never turn them off again....
If success and happiness were free,
then all the people in the world
would be extremely successful and deliriously happy while failure and sadness
would have long disappeared
from the face...
Happiness is born to break the barriers
invented by sadness....
Miserable people hate happy ones
even more than they hate their own misery....
Let's discover the blue of the sky
before its gray discovers us.
Let's learn our the truth about ourselves before our lies make us forget who we are. Let's conquer the peak
before the abyss c...
As long as we refuse to discover
the real reason we are sad,
we will be the defenders of our sadness....
Happy are the people who have reached a point in their lives
where they don’t feel the slightest need to lie to themselves....
The heaviest burden in the world to carry
are the five triumphs of our weaknesses:
the lies, mistakes, defeats, the shame of who we are, and the misery we allow them to produce on our behalf....
If happiness had rules, it would be miserable....
Happiness is the only fortune that is so valuable,
it cannot be measured....
The most beautiful happiness
is one born to break the limits imposed on it by the sadness of the people around....
Our addiction to lies
makes us dumber than our sadness....
Smiles are born to help the tears
find reasons to be happy....
Let us be more careful with every word we say
and every action we do,
since we will end up living in the ugliness or the beauty we allow them to create on our behalf....
We’ll become happy
when we stop becoming
the conquerors of other peoples’ beauty instead of conquerors of our own ugliness....
We adore learning without realizing because it makes us feel clever enough not to offend our stupidity
and truthful enough not to offend our lies....
A smile is born every time
we discover a reason to be happy before a reason to be sad discovers us....
Only genuine people,
people who have told themselves the truth and don’t pretend they are someone else, fit inside the person they really are.
The rest constantly fight and fail,
ending up li...
Nothing beats sadness easier
than a smile we believe so much in
that we allow it to show us in which part of our sorrow we have hidden every reason we have to be happy....
Time is the form of energy which,
because we understand it less than any other, we end up wasting most of all....
We either create happiness out of truth,
or sadness out of lies....
True people deserve the beauty of their soul
and fake people - the ugliness of their sadness....
Our happiness is the cost of lying to ourselves
and our loneliness - the cost of lying to others....
Every moment we live we either tell ourselves the truth
and become as real as we need to be happy,
or tell ourselves lies
and become as fake as we need to be miserable....
Since happiness often has more truth in it that we can bear,
we often choose, by not choosing, to be sad....
There is no lie that ultimately won’t cost more
than the truth it was born to hide....
Life loves to remind us
what we try the hardest to forget....
Life is a vast plain which, in seconds,
can transform itself into an excruciatingly small cell....
The faster we run to escape the person we are,
the harder we stumble on it....
Our sadness is the truth we never told ourselves....
We become as fake as we need to be to feel unhappy....
Life often likes to become an impossible choice
between success and happiness
which most often is won by the people
who choose to defend their beliefs
from the attacks of the next appl...
Silence is the hideout we use
when we don’t know how else to avoid realising
how much more truthful than us our words can be....
When we stop lying, we will become as strong as our truth....
We have more power than we know,
as long as we can bear to live
with the part of our truth it is made from....
We often lose after we win
because truth creates power,
and power creates victories
that hate truth.
Following a victory, winners are willing to believe the lies that people around th...
Truth is the only thing in the world that humans will never defeat....
Since liars are afraid of the truth,
they are afraid of their most truthful part, their soul
as much as necessary to avoid feeling
and become dispassionate enough
to become miserable....
Our soul is our greatest source of strength,
if only we stopped fearing her
just because we’ve left her unknown....
Fake escapes lead to brand new prison cells
and real ones to old freedoms.
People who escape reality
fall hard onto those weaknesses of theirs
which imprisoned them in it....
The life of sad people
is a permanent escape from the truth
they don’t want to learn....
Wise are the people who realise the value of their every breath,
even if they don’t realise anything else....
The hidden cost of greed is that,
while waiting for the extraordinary,
we miss the opportunity to enjoy the ordinary....
We are a society that,
by producing a lot more lies than it can consume
lives closer to the next teardrop than the next smile....
Afraid are the people who can’t love. As long as I love someone, I fear nobody. I will live by fearing nothing, not because I’m brave, but because, by letting my soul free to love everything, I won’t...
Fall asleep every night having fought everything that wants to make you mean as hard as you can,
while hugging as tightly as you can
everything that wants to make you
as compassionate as you need ...
Be moderate to survive and extreme to enjoy....
As long as we are not proud of ourselves enough to like who we are,
we become our own Trojan horse
that will open the gate for our opponents to invade us and shame us....
Either we say the truth
or we lie and get hunted
by the truth we refuse to say....
We lie to convince ourselves
that we are already the person
we will never succeed in becoming....
Being prisoners of our lies,
we became the prison guards of our truth....
Truth is the ultimate beauty,
no matter how ugly it seems to be....
Since truth loves black or white, happiness hates any version of gray which our lies invent....
With every truth we say to ourselves we defeat our sadness,
and with every lie
we help our sadness defeat us....
Truth is the most exquisite beauty.
Truth is the most exquisite l beauty because it is born to defeat the ugliness in which
our lies have drowned the world....
Genuine people use their truth to become happier, while fake ones are used by their lies
to make themselves so artificial,
they can’t be anything but miserable....
How can there not be so much sadness in the world when we trust our lies
more than we trust our truth?...
People who refuse to defend the truth of who they are,
become as fake as needed to deserve their misery....
We stumble onto what we avoid.
The more vague we try to be,
the more life likes to force us
to decide, define and explain who we are....
Our happiness is the cost of lying to ourselves
and our loneliness - the cost of lying to others....
When we lie to ourselves,
we invite other people to lie to us....
The huge, indecipherable cost of lying to ourselves
is that we end up attracting
those people we should keep away....
Every moment we live we either tell ourselves the truth
and become as real as we need to be happy,
or tell ourselves lies
and become as fake as we need to be miserable....
Life is a vast plain which, in seconds,
can transform itself into an excruciatingly small cell....
The faster we run to escape the person we are,
the harder we stumble on it....
A soul’s beauty is the world’s most frequent prisoner....
We are our worst sycophants.
Let us stop imprisoning our happiness in our cowardice to defend
what makes us feel proud of who we are....
A smile is born every time
we discover a reason to be happy before a reason to be sad discovers us....
Life often likes to become an impossible choice
between success and happiness
which most often is won by the people
who choose to defend their beliefs
from the attacks of the next appl...
Silence is the hideout we use
when we don’t know how else to avoid realising
how much more truthful than us our words can be....
The hidden cost of education
is that, by deifying logic for all the victories it can give us,
we often become too logical to be happy....
Let’s live dancing with the bluest part of the sky
instead of crying on the shoulders of the deepest spot of the abyss....
If success and happiness were free, then all the people in the world would be extremely successful and deliriously happy and failure and sadness would have long disappeared from the face of the earth....
Start your souls!
Start your souls and throw away the key so you will never turn them off again....
If success and happiness were free,
then all the people in the world
would be extremely successful and deliriously happy while failure and sadness
would have long disappeared
from the face...
Let us live producing beauty
or celebrating the beauty others have produced....
The hidden cost of greed is that,
while waiting for the extraordinary,
we miss the opportunity to enjoy the ordinary....
Every moment we refuse to live,
we are rehearsing for our death....
We only deserve to enjoy those moments of our lives we respect....
We have one life to live,
one life to enjoy,
one life to create,
and one life to fall in love with....
We belong to every breath of ours.
We belong to every breath of ours
more than they belongs to us....
Happiness is to live by constantly throwing in the garbage
the person that the people around you want you to be
and become who you really are....
Every four seconds our body produces, out of our lungs, the greatest little gift one can give us: the most incredible yet common miracle in the world, our whole life wrapped in a breath!...
Since happiness is our most valuable acquired good, then the factor that deprives us of it - our weaknesses - is the one adversary in the world that we must defeat before we can even begin to fight an...
We waste a large part of our lives

The best way to relieve the pain of defeat
is to become as good as we need to win....

Life doesn’t come with a manual.
We have to write it ourselves, one mistake at a time....
Let’s respect our happiness enough to stop donating it to our problems. People who live by throwing smiles into the darkness betray their optimism enough to lose access to their own light....
To rebel against our weaknesses is the most important decision of our life....
Black clouds have an equal right to the sky as its blue does....

The only way to make sure our life is filled to the brim is to overflow it....
It’s often more profitable to become someone else, if you don’t mind the misery
that comes from deserting who you are....
Life has two choices and countless excuses....
Life hates draws as much as we love them.
There are no draws in life,
other than the ones our lies invent....
We feel happy when we deserve our happiness....
Life often likes to become an impossible choice between success and happiness. Life often likes to become an impossible choice between any victory and the greatest victory of all - happiness....
Castles fall from within. No one can defeat us if we are not weak enough to lose. No one can make us sad if we are not weak enough to feel miserable....
We often like to become
the obligatory children of paradox
and the voluntary parents of the self–evident....
We sacrifice the eternal at the altar of the temporary. As long as we sacrifice the eternal
at the altar of the temporary,
we will keep filling our life
with temporary joy and eternal sadness...
We need most what we most lack....
The banner of any great battle
is woven from those questions
we never dared to ask our cowardice....
Only genuine people,
people who have told themselves the truth and don’t pretend they are someone else, fit inside the person they really are.

I will become the truth of who I really am, and not the lies that are convenient for me, or for others, to be....
We rarely betray that which hurts us all the time:
our weaknesses,
but we so often betray that which will never abandon us: our beliefs....
Often the most rewarding moments of our life are those when we choose not to become our most profitable self,
but the most emotionally honest one....
We either believe in our beliefs
or in the lies we hide them with....
Often the longest trip in the world
is to stay where we are.
Often, the greatest distance in the world is to go nowhere....
Life is a vast plain which, in seconds,
can transform itself into an excruciatingly small cell....
The people who succeed and are happy
are those who, by stopping lying to themselves, become as real as the reality live in....
The banner of any great battle
is woven from those questions
we never dared to ask our cowardice....
The last rebel in the world needs to revolt first....
Happiness is the revolution against ugliness....
How useful are my strengths
if I don't use them to defeat my weaknesses?...
As long as I live not facing my weaknesses
but playing hide and seek with them,
I will be too afraid to feel proud of who I am,
too careful to feel free,
and too cowardly to be happy....
Every moment I choose to defend my happiness
from the attacks of my weaknesses
and those of the people around me,
I feel so proud of who I am
that I feel I’m touching the meaning of my l...
Our worst enemies are the ones we manufacture ourselves....
Fight the problem you face, not yourself....
Weak are those who avoid realizing their weaknesses....
A battle can be won in thousands of different ways,
but lost only by a handful,
each one made or magnified by our weaknesses....
The most eternal defeat of humanity
is that after thousands of years,
we have managed to defeat everyone and everything,
except for our weaknesses....
For thousands of years, by lying to ourselves,
we’ve hidden our weaknesses,
and became so complex that we've ended up unhappy.
Perhaps if we do the opposite, if we tell the truth to ourselv...
The most important battle of our lives
is not to surrender the world we live in
to the sadness our weaknesses produce
and not to let the world’s weaknesses become our sadness....
The invisible battle that shapes the world more than any other,
at any moment, is the battle against our weaknesses.
Since it is easier to lose a battle than to win it,

that produce their ugline...
The hidden cost of education
is that, by deifying logic for all the victories it can give us,
we often become too logical to be happy....
To rebel against our weaknesses is the most important decision of our life....
We will enjoy our life when we realize the uniqueness of its every moment....

If success and happiness were free, then all the people in the world would be extremely successful and deliriously happy and failure and sadness would have long disappeared from the face of the earth....
No matter how much we praise strength,
we avoid becoming strong to avoid doing anything that might push us toward our weaknesses....
Let us stop being afraid
to celebrate our joy
just to avoid waking up
the misery of the people around us....
Fight the problem you face, not yourself....
Weak are those who avoid realizing their weaknesses....
Let’s live dancing with the bluest part of the sky
instead of crying on the shoulders of the deepest spot of the abyss....
Let’s live by translating our soul’s beauty into happiness
and not turning her ugliness
into the pain and misery of the people around us....
If I want to be happy,
I will have to allow myself
to become more vulnerable than safe....
People who are afraid
haven’t been anywhere,
no matter how many places they’ve visited....
Let’s respect our happiness enough to stop donating it to our problems. People who live by throwing smiles into the darkness betray their optimism enough to lose access to their own light....
We will enjoy our life when we realize the uniqueness of its every moment....
We choose not to realize the uniqueness of every moment of our lives so as not to feel bad about failure to live it....
We are a society that,
by producing a lot more lies than it can consume

Black clouds have an equal right to the sky as its blue does....
Be moderate to survive and extreme to enjoy....
Life is not a rehearsal, it’s the one and only show....
Every four seconds our body produces, out of our lungs, the greatest little gift one can give us: the most incredible yet common miracle in the world, our whole life wrapped in a breath!...
How much moderation
the ten happiest moments of our life had? Not much. That is why we remember them....
Life is a race between too much and too little, which moderation frequently wins,
but rarely enjoys....
The curse of reckless people
is that they rarely win
and the curse of cautious people
is that they even more rarely
allow themselves to enjoy their victories....
If you’re going to fall moderately in love,
don’t fall in love at all.
If you’re going to believe moderately in your beliefs, don’t believe at all.
If you’re going to feel in moderation,

Never become so small just so you feel large enough....
The sky’s blue is made out of every cloud
we refused to throw in it....
As long as we are not proud of ourselves enough to like who we are,
we become our own Trojan horse
that will open the gate for our opponents to invade us and shame us....
Let your optimism discover your courage before your pessimism discovers
the part of your cowardice
you claim that isn’t yours....
Let us stop redecorating ugliness
and start beautifying it....
We stumble onto what we avoid.
The more vague we try to be,
the more life likes to force us
to decide, define and explain who we are....
If we don’t know who we are,
we will find it under the lies
we’ve told ourselves to hide it.
That's why the lies we tell ourselves
know better than anyone the truth about who we are....
In our quest to look charming,
we often become as fake as it takes to feel ugly....
We love doing the same thing
because everything we do for the first time has the answer to every question
we don’t dare ask ourselves....
Ugly is a beauty that doesn’t make
the world around it happier....
To win the battle against the ugliness around us,
we must first believe in our own beauty....
We are high–wire walkers
who, while trying to balance
between our two beauties –
what we show we are and what we actually are – do all we can to avoid falling
into our only ugliness....
Genuine people use their truth to become happier, while fake ones are used by their lies
to make themselves so complicated and artificial they can’t be anything but miserable....
If we hate ugliness so much,
why do we use it so often?...
There is one road that malice knows better than anyone: the road to misery....
There is no beauty
that doesn’t reveal the ugliness around it....
Perhaps the mistake we make
which has the largest impact on the quality of our life is that, whenever we are unable to touch our beauty, we surrender to our ugliness....
We are the favorite prey of our weaknesses,
even if we have convinced ourselves
that they only attack to hurt the people around us....
Don’t let the ugliness of a person close to you become your ugliness,
nor let their defeats become your pain....
Our greatest beauty
is the part of our ugliness
we don’t allow to become
the sadness of the people around us....
Beauty punishes those people who force it
to make them charming rather than happy....
The beauty we create for the world around us will often introduce us for the first time
to the part of our own character
we’ve never considered beautiful....
There is so much more beauty around us than we see because our own ugliness
does everything to prevent us from touching it
so we don’t feel comparatively even uglier than we are....
If you want to feel pretty,
become happy....
Let your optimism discover your courage before your pessimism discovers
the part of your cowardice
you claim that isn’t yours....
Let us stop redecorating ugliness
and start beautifying it....
Life will allow us to discover its beauty when we stop demanding
that it becomes even more beautiful....
Our own ugliness is often the reason
we can’t enjoy the beauty around us....
The pain that the revelation of a truth causes
is analogous to the lies we’ve used to hide it....
How can there not be so much misery in the world when we so often become prisoners of our ugliness instead of the liberators of our beauty?...
We adore mediocrity more than we hate it because it’s very easy to be mediocre, much more difficult to be good
and unbearably hard to be perfect....
Beauty is the liberation from ugliness....
A soul’s beauty is the world’s most frequent prisoner....
We love doing the same thing
because everything we do for the first time has the answer to every question
we don’t dare ask ourselves....
We love routine because we hate those surprises that insist on teaching us the truth
of how incompetent we are to deal with change....
No matter how much we praise strength,
we avoid becoming strong to avoid doing anything that might push us toward our weaknesses....
Let us stop being afraid
to celebrate our joy
just to avoid waking up
the misery of the people around us....
How can we be happy when we have turned our truth, the most loyal ally we have
in the battle against our misery,
into our greatest enemy?...
We become the opposite of what we glorify....

Ease is the enemy of greatness. Ease is the enemy of happiness....
We choose to do what is easy
to avoid facing our weaknesses,
which doing what is right
will almost always force us to confront....
People who choose the ease of lies over the discomfort of truth,
make their life as fake as it needs to become difficult....
Happiness is born to break the barriers
invented by sadness....
Let us be more careful with every word we say
and every action we do,
since we will end up living in the ugliness or the beauty we allow them to create on our behalf....
We will feel the emotions
we create in the people around us.
Have you ever seen happy people
inflict pain on the people next to them?
Have you ever seen sad people dishing out joy to try t...
We will feel what we make others feel.
The misery we inflict on the world around us will become our next tears,

Life is a game of chance
which we will never learn how to play
as long as we allow our weaknesses
to change the rules every time we become good at it....
We become what we feel.
People who enjoy their life remain young, no matter how old they may be....
Aging makes access to sadness easier because the older we get the better we become at using darkness to hide
than using light to discover....
We don’t age, we just keep getting older. As long as we write more than we erase, learn more than we forget,
liberate more than we enslave,
build more than we tear down,
donate more than we k...
We age by betraying our soul....
When we learn our weaknesses
well enough to disarm them,
we will stop living our life by donating to them the most precious asset we own, our time....
Today creates a tomorrow to live
and a tomorrow to waste....
Happiness is the best antidote to aging....

when we lose a battle against our weaknesses
is to translate this defeat into malice, anger and pain before tossing ...
There is much malice in the world because it is so much easier to lose the next battle with our weaknesses and become mean
than to win it and become kind....
Leave miserable people to their misery. Leave the mean to their meanness.
There is no need to respond to the negativity that mean people throw at us
because we can’t do anything to mean people w...
The value of kindness is proven
by how miserable mean people are....
We either become kind enough to be happy
or mean enough to be sad....
The splendor of a person
is proven by their capability to produce beauty, even when they don’t feel beautiful....
It is easy to be kind, generous and human
when we are happy
and extremely hard when we are sad.
In the middle of a celebration everyone loves everyone but at the end of it they are often left...

We’ll become happy

People who live immersed in the mistakes they haven’t made yet,

People who live immersed in the mistakes they haven’t made yet,

Our future is as optimistic as we are....
We live balancing between
our cowardice and our dreams,
fighting to become the person we always wanted to be, before the person we have become
drown us in their fears....
Contrary to us, our future never promises, but always delivers.
Our future will give us what we gave it....
People who aren’t afraid of the future
are those who are not afraid of their selves, because they know the truth of who they are....
People who live by both glorifying and mourning
the person they will never become,
throw away in the garbage the person they already are....
How much moderation
the ten happiest moments of our life had? Not much. That is why we remember them....
Never become so small just so you feel large enough....
The dark privilege of age is that, the older we get, the better we become at making mistakes
while convincing ourselves
that we’re making the right decision....
We weave dreams out of infinity
and fears out of zero....

Ugly is a beauty that doesn’t make
the world around it happier....
There is one road that malice knows better than anyone: the road to misery....
There is no beauty
that doesn’t reveal the ugliness around it....
The people who succeed and are happy
are those who, by stopping lying to themselves, become as real as the reality live in....
As long as we loathe reality
because it has more truth in it than we would like, we become as fake as needed
to feel unsuccessful and sad....
We lie to invent a reality
that is as real as it must be to not bother us and as fake as it needs to be to comfort us....
The best way to stop feeling failed and miserable is to become good enough
to win and be happy....
We don’t like to take risks because we know that danger, forcing us to prove how much more we believe
in our beliefs than in our lies,

Any escape route from reality

Nothing beats sadness easier
than a smile we believe so much in
that we allow it to show us in which part of our sorrow we have hidden every reason we have to be happy....
Time is the form of energy which,
because we understand it less than any other, we end up wasting most of all....
The greatest miracles happen
when our mind and our soul
stop fighting each other and become one....
Each one of us can become
a wonderful factory that generates time,
as long as we overcome those weaknesses of ours that constantly try to stop us, disappoint us,

Good energy creates infinity
and bad energy creates countless zeros....
We create time every moment of our life
we respect enough not to waste....
We will live and enjoy
only the part of our life we dare to discover....
We waste time by doing as few things as we can to protect ourselves from doing something
that may uncover the truth
of whether we are good enough
to win and be happy
or bad enough to lose ...
Every hour has as many minutes
as our love for life wants it to have....
Time is our ally, not our enemy. The more we antagonize time, the more we get defeated by it....
Our fake self wastes our life
and our true self lives it....
We are obsessed about making our life longer while we do our utmost to make it shorter,
by wasting such a large part of it....
We create the time we don’t waste.
Time not wasted is time created....
Beauty is born to defeat
the sadness that ugliness produces....
Life is the celebration of beauty,
but even more so, the celebration of an ugliness that was never born because it was explained. Every time we manage to explain to ourselves what makes us feel ugl...
Although we will never give the wheel
of the car we are driving to another person,
we too often end up giving up the wheel of our soul to people who all they want is to drive us to misery....
When we create a life we can fall in love with, the sadness anything negative creates
will be cut in half
and the happiness that anything positive creates will be doubled....
Love makes life easy, indifference makes it difficult, and hatred unbearable....
Happy are those who have created a life
they love so much
that they make it seem easy, even if it is not. Miserable are those who hate their lives so much that everything seems difficult, even i...
Life is a gigantic parade of beauty
that is often interrupted
by many brief demonstrations of ugliness....
Optimism will win the battle that pessimism has lost before it even begins....
Let's stop living
as fugitives of the truth of who we are, by embracing any part of it
that make us better and happier
and changing any part of it
that make us worse and more miserable....
We wear high heels on our self-worth before we parade it to the people around us, so we can seduce them enough
to dissuade them from trying
to discover our real value....
Many of us pretend to be gods
without even knowing how to be human....
“Why” is the most annoying word in the world
because it can become the most useful....
We glorify whatever we don’t want to become....
Our life loves the duality we hate
because it hates the security we adore....
Let's create a life that has countless opponents
and not one enemy....
Let's live by sharing the beauty of our soul with the people around us
and explaining its ugliness
until it no longer makes us feel so sad
that we feel the need to attack them
and make the...

Every time I fill my soul with stolen smiles –
smiles stolen from others
because I couldn’t create my own -
it becomes the most frigid distant,
saddest place on earth...
We live far enough from reality

so that we don’t feel

Only sad people

Life seems short to those
who don’t respect it enough
to do everything to enjoy it...
We refuse to discover
how happy we can be,
to avoid realizing
how miserable we are...
We have made the truth of who we are
the greatest enemy of our happiness...
We often feel so awkward
when we are left alone with our happiness
because we know how badly
we have treated it...
My sadness if often created
by the empty promises
I give to my happiness...
My optimism is created
from every moment of my life I enjoyed,
my pessimism - from every moment that I wasted,
and my desperation, from every moment
I mistreated my happiness...
We either enjoy every moment of our lives
and make it a part of our optimism,
or we don’t and make it part of our fears...
No matter how much we praise them,
we hate the moments of our life
that force us to prove

in the middle of the biggest despair,
while sad people keep discovering new ways
to lose them even in the the middle
of the biggest celebration...
We live glued to the beauty of the future
to avoid stumbling on the ugliness
out of which we have made our past...
To avoid proving to ourselves
how incapable we are of finding happiness,
we pretend that we are not looking for it at all,
and therefore end up becoming miserable...
The road to happiness is so hard
because it is full of questions
we don’t want to ask our sadness...
Happiness will never accept down payments...
How can there not be so much sadness in the world
when we don’t want to learn how to become happy?...
We will never discover
the truth of who we are
as long as we never ask
the questions that lead
to the lies we’ve told ourselves...
I defeat death every time I enjoy life...
We dread death because, having lied
so much to ourselves
and others in our lifetime,
we have made it the ultimate proof
of how fake we are...
Death is the final answer
to all those questions we have never
dared to ask ourselves...
If we want to take away the power that death has over us,
let’s give the truthful answers we owe ourselves,
before death gives them to us...
Death delivers the best life lessons...
Why learn how to live
when we have no life to live anymore?
How can there not be so much misery in the world
when we do everything we can to avoid knowing the truth
of who we are as ea...
Procrastination is a meaningful mistake
camouflaged as just another meaningless delay...
We do everything not to learn the meaning of our lives,
to avoid realizing how often we choose to betray it...
Let us stop handing out our life to our weaknesses
and, instead, become the people our strengths
can make us...
Death is the moment
when great pain and great relief
become one...
Death is the first time where the truth has no cost...
Death has as much power
as our lies have given it...
We don’t want to learn how to become happy
so that we can justify our failure to do so
well enough to avoid feeling bad about how sad we are...
The eternal value of truth
is that the more we lie to ourselves,
the more we fear death...
I don’t fear death
because, as long as I live,
I will tell myself the truth
about who I am...
Death is the moment of our lives
when freedom and imprisonment
resolve the differences they have had for years
and become an end...
People who are busy living
don’t feel the need to invent life theories,
whereas those who evade living
cannot invent enough of them...
The future punishes those who predict it
by giving them an ever more
difficult-to-predict future...
There is more joy than we feel,
if only we stopped covering it with our sorrow
to prevent it from proving to us how unhappy we are...
We produce the surprises we hate
by creating the conditions
that will give birth to them...
Nasty surprises happen
to people who disrespect their life enough
to take it for granted...
We can’t enjoy
what we don’t respect...
All the moments of our life are unique,
not just the unique ones...
We spend our lives enjoying our good luck,
while being mortgaged to our misfortune...
The fact that we do not know
when the next disease will force our life
to take a turn for the worse
shouldn’t make us pessimistic,
but exactly the opposite
by pushing us to do ever...
A future disease is the invisible roommate
we live with but don’t realize
until it asks us for the rent
we should have being paying our health
all these years...
Every moment of our life is unique
because even its easiest to reproduce moments
cannot be reproduced...
People who postpone happiness,
deserve their sadness...
We can predict the future
better than we can imagine,
because our future will toss in our face
all the lies and mistakes
we are building our present from...
We waste what we belittle
and enjoy what we respect...
Winners lengthen their life by enjoying it
and losers shorten it by wasting it...
For happy people,
the future is the gift of their past
and for those who are miserable,
the future becomes its revenge...
The more we disrespect abundance,
the more we end up being tyrannized by scarcity...
We can’t belittle anything,
without belittling ourselves...
We will never again be able to live
even the most easy-to-reproduce
moment of our life...
The easiest to fix worst decision
is to ignore our life’s generosity...
Every moment is an instant treasure
that has value while it lasts
and is worthless for the rest of our life...
The only road in the world
that has no shortcuts
is the road to happiness...
People who are tortured by what they lack
are those who do not respect what they have...
Despite time being the only good
of which we do not know
how much more we have left,
we waste it more than any other...
People who are interested only in the present
are doomed to a future that has no future...
The more we choose to live in the present,
so that we can hide from the mistakes
we made in the past,
the more we end up lying to ourselves so much
that we become weak enough to make t...
“Now” is a priceless opportunity
that our life gives us just once
for us to enjoy, become better, create
and learn about ourselves well enough to become happier,
and not an excuse to h...
We deify the present by living for the moment,
so that we don’t feel guilty
about the mistakes we are making,
the cost of which we will have to pay in the future
by having to account f...
Weak are the people who don’t trust their strength...
There are no free words or free deeds...
We have created or destroyed our future,
before we even get a chance to live it...
We create our future from the right decisions,
or the mistakes, we make today...
Let us live our present to the max,
not to forget our past or ignore our future,
but to feel so close to the truth of who we are
that we become strong enough
to handle the person we we...
The present is enjoyed
by those who do not use it
to escape the person they became in the past
and the person they want to become in the future...
Life is more binary
than our cheap excuses would like...
I feel happy every moment of my life
during which I take responsibility
for my misery...
People who have convinced themselves
that they do not owe to tell the truth
to the person they were in the past
become fake enough to be miserable...
Our present will treat us
the way we’ve treated our past...
To avoid coming into direct contact with our weaknesses
we live in the present,
doing everything we can to cut ourselves
from the proofs of the person we were in the past
and the hopes...
People who live only for the moment
create a future full of obligations
to correct the mistakes they made
while ignoring it...
There is so much sadness in the world
because sadness does not ask us for anything,
whereas happiness asks everything of us...
Today’s right decisions are the wings
that will liberate our future from our weaknesses,
and today’s mistakes are the heavy chains
that will imprison us in it...
Happy people become their truth
and sad people become their excuses...
We will make the mistakes
we run away from...
Every moment of my life
I've made awkward
by not knowing how to live it,
I observed my past
stealing my present from me
and donating it to my future...
I enjoy every moment of my life
where I don’t feel obligated
to explain to my past about the person I became
or feel the need to apologize to the future
for the person I want to become...
We walk toward the future
trying not to stumble
onto the person we should not become...
The revenge of the ordinary
is that, by adoring the spectacular so much,
we ended up underestimating the ordinary enough
to render ourselves unable to find
the pleasure, creativity, an...
Every lie we tell ourselves will steer us away
from the person we want to become
and every truth we tell ourselves
will bring us closer to them...
Happy people make every moment an opportunity,
while those who are miserable turn it into an excuse...
People who treat their present
as having no cost but only benefit,
are inviting a future that will cost so much
more than it will benefit them...
People who hide from the person they were in the past
and the person they want to become in the future,
reveal the person their sadness wants them to be...
People who have no anxiety for their future,
are those who get to know their weaknesses well enough
to disarm them before they get to fill it
with the endless pain and misery they produce...
Nothing fits between right and wrong,
except cheap excuses...
There is no free happiness...
Life seems endless
to those who realize how small it is
and minuscule to those who behave
like it will never end...
Our future will give us
what we gave our present,
usually with interest of pain
or pleasure added to it...
The greatest misallocation of our resources
is how much more we use our lies
to hide our weakness—
by hiding how sad we are—
than we use our truth
to become strong enough to be hap...
By pretending we don’t see our past and our future,
we fill our life with so much voluntary darkness
that we end up being afraid of it...
Anxious for the future are those
who convince themselves that they don’t realize
the future cost of the mistakes they make today...
Our future sadness
is the cost of today’s wrong decisions
and our future happiness
is the benefit of today’s right ones...
Every day our past gives to our future
every right decision we make as a gift
and every wrong decision we make
as a curse...
Be patient with everything,
except with happiness...
Postponed sadness
is a future that has no future...
Postponed sadness
is a time bomb of pain...
The present is enjoyed
only by those who don’t punish their future
by filling it with any misery
they don’t want to feel today...
We make every moment of our lives
as unique as our willingness
to defend our uniqueness
from the attacks of our normality...
I will become the liberator of my beauty
when I will stop being the prisoner of my ugliness...
Life is too short to think it is endless...
By postponing pleasure for the future,
we create a future
that we will never experience...
Those who postpone pleasure for the future,
exclude themselves from it...
Happy are the people
who have many opponents,
but no enemies...
How can we not fail and be miserable
when our preferred strategy to deal
with the only enemy we have in life
– our weaknesses - is not to deal with them at all?
Instead of mobilizing o...
Happiness is the outcome of the duel
between the exclamation mark and the yawn...
Most useless are the people
who are not willing to use
the capabilities, the privileges
and the charisma they have
to make their life,
and the life of the people around them,
b...
The world is full of misery
because nobody is smarter
than their happiness...
We kill our life one yawn at a time...
We don’t want to acknowledge
how happy we can become
to avoid realizing
how sad we are...
My saddest image
is when I stand in front of a smile of mine,
not knowing how to use it anymore
to make myself and the world around me
happier...
At the end of the day,
sad people are drowning in their excuses,
whereas happy people
are surrounded by their smiles...
Life consists of good as well as bad times...
I feel truly happy
when I am so content with who I am
that I don’t want to become anybody else...
The only way
to stop fearing the truth
is to know it...
When I stop giving away
my dreams to my fears
so that they can turn them into my nightmares,
all the dirt roads in my life
that are full of dangerous turns and hidden potholes
will...
Why should we give our love to only one person
when we can give it to our whole lives?
Love produces so much beauty and positivity that it
can overcome most difficulties, frustration, prob...
How can we value beauty so much,
while doing so little
to make our lives more beautiful?
How can we value beauty so much while we keep
getting so seduced by ugliness? Let’s create love...
Let’s not wait for others
to hand us over any beauty they do not need
and let’s start creating our own beauty today...
Why waste our lives waiting
for something beautiful, unique, and priceless
to give us the beauty, uniqueness, and value
we deserve to have?
Let’s create our own value,
not only by ...
Postponing happiness
is the easiest to correct serious mistake
that we make during our lifetimes...
Only people who survive their sadness
give themselves the opportunity
to become happy...
Beauty is everywhere,
as long as we can set aside our ugliness
and those weaknesses of ours that produce it...
Every happy person is in love with their life
and every miserable person hates their life,
no matter how many successes it has given them...
We are as happy
as we love our life
and as sad as we hate it...
Happiness is cash,
not the checks of future smiles that we write
and hope that, at some point,
life will decide to pay them for us...
I will stop waiting for something beautiful
which might someday come to introduce me,
for the first time, to the beauty of my soul,
and I will start searching for it today...
Happiness makes me feel
that, even when I am at the worst spot in the world,
I don’t want to be anywhere else...
Either I respect every moment of my life
enough to make it an opportunity,
or disrespect it so much
as to make it an excuse...
I will fill my life with valuable questions,
not cheap excuses...
If you want to be happy,
ask yourself why don’t you give all you got
to defend yourself
from everything that wants to make you sad?
We do not enjoy our lives as much as we can because<...
Right decisions belong
to those who survive the wrong ones...
I will stop living by tightly
hugging the “pause” of my life,
waiting for the spectacular
to come and pick me up,
and instead, start walking
to where my soul already is...
Happy people reveal
while sad people hide...
People who are more afraid of their sadness
than they respect their happiness,
become the undertakers of their smiles...
Self-knowledge is the ultimate disabler of pessimism...
Let us stop being the prisoners of our worst thoughts
and follow our most beautiful emotions
wherever our happiness does not have to defeat anyone
to become the biggest victory we will eve...
Beautiful are those who help others
discover their beauty...
Any sadness around us quickly becomes
the best friend of our worst self...
“Sometime” is a lying “never”...
Even if there is another life,
let’s not waste the only one we’ve got...
Those who claim there is another life
are often those who waste the only one they have...
Let’s not waste a moment,
since each of us has only one life to live,
only one life to create,
and only one life to enjoy...
Life is the art of discovering
the next fascinating step
that will put an end to our boredom...
We invented the afterlife
to avoid feeling bad
about how much we mistreat
the only life we do have -
the one we are living in...
Life is too short
to be treated
as if it is endless...
Every time we tell the truth to ourselves
our life trusts us enough to love us,
while every time we lie to ourselves
it fears us enough to hate us...
We have made our future
an emergency exit for our inability
to enjoy the present...
We fear the present because, by being real,
it can only tell us the truth
but we also love it
because we know how much we need it,
since it is the only time interval
we can actuall...
