You Have Mail, From: Yourself

It can be even a love letter :) (deviantart)
I went to tao yoga yesterday. When I was waiting for my session, I had a chance to talk to a woman who works for clinic experiments for drugs. About drug tests I just asked "You're not testing on mice right?". Her response was "on human of course".

We talked about a workshop which makes you go into yourself deeply. She said it was really intense to listen yourself, cause we always ignore what we say ourself and bury them so deep.

  • How many of us listen themself? Listen truly?
  • Do you have enough courage to face what your heart & brain really feel & think?
Once I wrote a letter to 'myself who live 5 years later', so I supposed to open this letter 5 years later. To write it, I had to talk myself at that moment, which was difficult and intense. Right now, who do you want to be in the future? You're being very honest to yourself, because it's the letter for future yourself, and you can't just lie, can you?

And then I found that letter like 3 years later. It was a very interesting experience to read it from this little kid. We change a lot, although we don't realize. I remember I couldn't kept my tears and so surprised how I was thinking and where I was. One of the sentence was like that: "I love you so much whoever you became and hey, I hope you're alive! And if you're reading this, hopefully you're thankful for your health and life". Are we thankful because we are healthy and alive?

Maybe I can't explain my experience very well, that's the other humanity thing like we change, we also forget.. We forget everything. However, I think, everyone who can read it, can give it a try to write a letter. You don't have to keep it, just write honestly and then destroy.. The thing is probably you'll realize a lot of thing, and I'd love to hear about your experiment about yourself. :)

When I started working with Red Bull, I was not even drinking. Now, I still don't drink much but I'm a fan of their brand & marketing!

P.S After yoga, when I was walking home, I saw a Red Bull Wing Team with their cute little car! Look at that, just because I worked almost a year in Red Bull before, I felt something very warm and familiar. I said "hi" to these cute girls who gives energy drink also positive energy, "I was also doing the exactly same thing as you do in Turkey", got my drink, and kept walking..
