Use your energy for 100%

Today I'm having so special day, actually I guess it's more about special feeling!
I feel so good, let's try to describe. Happy, peaceful, lovely, natural, enjoyable and so relax, may be even just tired! I guess I would be strange to feel so good every single day otherwise I wouldn't appreciate it so much:)
Why do I feel like that I don't know :) I just feel.

Last month was quite full off activities, events, travelling and meeting new people!
I was in London for long weekend in the beginning of May, it was on of the bright trip so far. I loved my time in London! I don't know do I like actually London or not :) I guess I wouldn't like to live in LND, but I do appreciate my time in LND & thought I got there and after! It was very quality time. I couldn't manage to see all London, but I know that I want to study in London! I would say now it's a dream I haven't found exactly the program I don't have money yet, but I know that I want to study in London!

Olesya was in Bonn, with my friends from Sevastopol I always have fun in a special way :D every single day I've been enjoying with her!
Last weekend I met Alisa in Paris! I would say "doesn't matter how far away your friends and how often you talk/meet, but if you connected, it's forever!" I had feeling that we still in Estonia in our dormitory having brilliant porridge breakfast. She improved her cooking skills very much! :) We were having a nice chat; she still can read my mind very well :) I love it! My Estonian team we missed you!!!
But in Paris I had a couple of goals, accept visiting Alisa and doing sightseeing there. Olesya, Luka & Myself were having a small team reunion and celebrated Olesya's B'Day in Paris, it was like "Dreams come truth!" :)
As soon as you can dream about you can make it, Olesya just called me some day in January and asked: "Inna what do you think if I come to visit you in May and we later go to Paris to drink Champagne in the Champs-Élysées on my Birthday?" and it happened :) Of course we had a great party and went to night club!!! And it was one of the an amazing party ever :) I don't remember then I've been really dancing till 6a.m. on high hills, and during night I even didn't drink alcohol, I've been just dancing of course I had a good partner and nice company...it was awesome dancing night in Paris! :) after I couldn't move properly, but it's other story ;)
French people so interesting, there are not like other Europeans, there are different, very specific; honestly I have not got very good imprisons about them, but I hope I just don't know them enough, although Red French wine is extremely testy :)
I came back in Bonn without any energy:) totally sleepy, but with huge smile! :)
On Wednesday, Francisco (my flatmates) organized party in our place, I couldn't believe that so many people might come! It was 40-50 ppl, we had a queue next to enters!!! Some Germans just came and asked: "Is it Open Door Party?" it was very good chill out! Even Nadya with Anna & Yat Wan showed up for half a hour before going to Turkey :)
Yesterday I had lovely Thursday (official holiday in Germany) :) I just love yesterday, even I've been sad a bit to say bb to Olesya, but she had to come back in Kiev… later I went to Hofgarten with book for man and I couldn't stop reading, even in some point I've been cold, but I had so much fun! :) It's not a first time when I read a book specially for man, but it's always interesting to know the man perspective about women and sometimes I must say sometimes they knew us better when we do :) and Indian dinner with nice game completed such great day!

Today is Friday, almost empty office, nothing urgent, just learning day :) but I feel so good, even still didn't recover my energy from previous parties, events, trips, but I feel so special :)

But you know, time to time, when everything seems to be so perfect, it's just a right moment to move on to new adventures or you might have slept some important moment, I guess it's easy to say but not to do, that feeling just eating you and you want to stay on it, it's so comfortable, convention and lovely. But I should I must really do steps for the future!
Still don't know what I will do since 1st of December or 1st of January 2010! I'm on a process to found what I want to do, sometimes I feel that I'm just a dreamer :) but I hope I'll discover soon the right place for me!

I know I'll recover my battery soon and I would be ready for next step.
Suppose to have peaceful weekend for myself and for my future :)

Dream On!!!

“Close your ears to all adverse suggestions. Never mind if people call you a fool and a dreamer. Dream on.” ~ Wallace D. Wattles

I've been inspiring to DREAM!!! after reading some short motivation from PilosophicasNotes.
I really feel if we keep a discipline of dreaming (sound strange I know) but we really can make an amazing progress, make things which never even exists.
I do keep practising, I guess even more then I've been a chilled :)
For self motivation I started to remember when my dreams came truth….

The first biggest one, which I remember it was on Millennium New Year, when I got as a present my first PC from parents and I really didn't expect! It was just dream, even I wasn't so young 16 years old, but still I had internal feelings to believe that it will happened.
The second one was to get an award for Scientific activities and I got it, even I got on the last year at University, and I wasn't so happy anymore, but in the beginning of my study it was just a dream!!!
Since I joined AIESEC I would say I started to think more strategically and sometimes I couldn't separate my dreams from my plans (long-term or short-term goals), because they were always ambitions :)
But when I came to Estonia, during first weeks of my MC term I had a reflection time (when I couldn't got visa to Latvia and had to skip Baltic meeting) I had enough time for myself and recently one thought sound as a dream and I even couldn’t believe that it's possible. I wanted to work with investment management and to bring investments to Ukraine or Russia. I had no clue how I can do that, I even was not confident that I can make it but when you really dream your internal feelings work and you start to find everything regarding your dream. Sooner or later if you keep the direction it comes. I found that SME or they found me :) The third dream came truth I started to work in EXCEDEA (Excedea is a leading management and investment advisor in the Baltics and Eastern Europe.) I have to say that I liked it very much, first time in business sector I felt that I can use my finance/analytical knowledge for doing impact. I had very good team, trustful and open managers, who as a role model keep balance in live and achieve the result. We did our job as a hobby and always enjoyed it.
But I had other goal or dream (I don't know what was it exactly); I wanted to have an experience on multinational company as a result I'm now in DHL, doing my internship.
What is the next my dream???
After a lot of goal settings in AIESEC, I feel that I enjoy more reflection time. I try to find every week some hours for myself to listen myself and ask questions. One of the thought/answer which is often in my mind last 3 month is doing more impact using my finance knowledge, ability to work with people and analysing skills!
Investment aria still as an option, but I feel I want to see more, Emerging markets, development relationship between them and connect partners/companies/countries, bring an investment to them, show the direction of development and make people happy though there development. I'm not sure yet what it is… but I know it will come.

So happy to find a minute to write about my DREAM….

P.s. just red again my post and I noticed that a lot of thought are missing, such as human feelings (love, passion, respect, curiosity) may be it will come on latest post…:)

What do you think about?

Some days ago I watch video on TED.COM something relevant of out brain and how does it work...The main message was how many % of your time to do you thing about something/someone really important for you? or what do you think about most time is really values for you or at least on that moment and we should keep attention on that and don't ignore. (lost the video link :)

I become curious what does pump in my mind?
what is the main topic for me? whom I become tomorrow? where am I going to be tomorrow? What is the my history story should be for tomorrow?
do I really think or just try to analyze situation/task/information/reality around?
do I really think about someone/something or just try to solved upcoming reality?
...
I came to some conclusions...
yes, often information/social stereotype just doesn't let us to use our brain for our-self on 100%, but we must manage it, at least try to do that.
Everything happened 2 times, first in your mind!!! I always believed on power of thoughts, but I guess we do not always use that power!Dreaming is a key to success of powerful thinking. I'm not sure can I dream :) I even started to smile when I asked myself do you dream or build plans for future? every single kid can dream it's for sure I suppose with age we just loosing that ability and as long as we can practicing of it we could keep out creativity and power of great thinking. I hope to keep practicing of dreaming.


I'm so glad that I'm curious person and I always have to have passion and ask myself different question... But our brain is a complex and important to ask RIGHT question, it's not easy, but always interesting.
Reading and meeting people are key for me to keep asking questions.
Now I suppose the main questions in my mind are:
How can I contribute to the world with my finance knowledge?
how to feel/keep LOVE all my life?

One of the thing which I learn in London after visiting the museum of Astronomy: "Keep Asking and you will find an answer"
