sem expectativas - without expectations


Deixei tudo para trás
Não levo bagagem
Carrego nada comigo
Estou vazia

Cansei-me das vozes na minha cabeça
De tentar decidir e escolher
Cansei-me dos apegos às coisas e aos outros
Da azáfama de tentar manter essas coisas que não me pertencem

Agora, estou aqui e agora
Quero ouvir esta voz que vem de dentro, lá do fundo
Vou ficar aqui parada até a ouvir
Deixar que as coisas e pessoas venham até mim e que depois vão
Deixar fluir, ir e vir, vir e partir

Cansei-me de empurrar o mundo
Cansei-me de tentar colocá-lo em ordem, controlá-lo
Chega, agora vou apenas deixar fluir
E ver, ver o que vêm e o que não vêm

Decidi render-me, aceitar a vida
Aproveitar o que tenho em vez de chorar pelo que não tenho
Divertir-me e não levar isto tão a sério
Afinal parece que não importa, é apenas um jogo
Uma experiência, não há certos nem errados
E sou eu afinal que crio tudo isto, o que gosto e o que não gosto
Cansei-me de reclamar, de lutar
Quero aproveitar a vida, sentir, descobrir

Olhar o horizonte sem expectativas
Olhar apenas para admirar a sua extraordinária beleza!

----
I left it all behind
I do not take luggage
I carry nothing with me
I am empty

I got tired of the voices in my head
Trying to decide and choose
I got tired of attachments to things and others
The hustle and bustle of trying to keep these things that do not belong to me

Now, I'm here and now
I want to hear this voice from within, from deep within
I'll be standing here until I listen to it
Letting things and people come to me and then go
Let it flow, come and go, come and go

I got tired of pushing the world
I got tired of trying to put it in order and controlling it
Enough, now I just let it flow
And see, see what come and what does not come

I decided to surrender, accept life
Enjoy what I have instead of crying for what I don't have
Have fun and not take it so seriously
After all it seems it doesn't matter, it's just a game
An experience, there is no right or wrong
And after all I create all this, what I like and what I dislike
I got tired of complaining, fighting
I want to enjoy life, feel, discover

Look at the horizon without expectations
Look just to admire its extraordinary beauty!

Others can't abandon you! Only you can do that... to yourself

You might think others can abandon you but that is not true. Only you can do that.

You abandon yourself when you put your attention on the other and believe that this other can give you things you can not give yourself. You abandon yourself when you cry and get depressed because the other is not present... but you are present and you are neglecting yourself as if you were not important.

You give the other power over you by doing this.

Others can not abandon you! Only you can do it! Love yourself ;)

With love and blessings to you all :)
