The 3C’s in Life” Choice, Chance, Change. You must make the choice, to take the chance, if you want anything in life to change.

inspiration dra martha castro noriega tijuana baja california usa states los angeles

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take. One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can’t change.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back the difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.

4 Most Exotic Beautiful Red Flowers My Picks for Today

FLOWERS BEAUTY

I can never see flowers too many times, I never get tired of their sweet fragrance. Each one is a delicate bloom, no matter if it is a formal garden or a waste land. Their petals are delicate works of art and their hues are medicine for my soul.

RAINFOREST TABASCO FLOWER

Glorios Ausberba Flame Lily

I guess it’s not just me that feels that way though, we bring these nature beauties into the hospitals and graveyards, we send them to express our love, we plant them in our yards though they bear no edible fruits.

SUCCULENT PLANT red bell

There is something about their beauty I need for my whole being, to be fully human, I wonder if we’re all a bit like that.

Without these wonderful blooming natural jewels it would only be concrete, and I think the drop in temperature would freeze my heart.

Beautiful Messy Sunday Forget Perfectionism … It Sucks!

Breakfast in Messy Bed!

sunday relax doctora martha castro noriega tijuana baja california los angeles usa states

Perfectionists have a lot of baggage that other people don’t, and that baggage comes from constantly striving to appear perfect.» Basically, it’s not easy being perfect; it’s heavy and exhausting.

When we live a rigid life in order to attain out-of-reach goals, we miss out on the organic rhythms that our mind and bodies might be moving to in a life less focused on perfection. Striving to be great … or good or even just okay.

Messy but lots of Fun!

sunday relax doctora martha castro noriega tijuana baja california los angeles usa states

Rather than perfect allows one to find their groove and excel, even if that means excelling with a messy sink or undone hair. And when you get to that point, and can find the liberating joy of imperfection? I would say that’s pretty perfect.

Messy Beautiful Hair!

Furnham says that people focused on perfection tend to have low self-esteem, noting also the presence of «guilt and its fellow travelers, shame and self-recrimination.» Admittedly it’s not clear if low self esteem feeds perfectionism or if perfectionism feeds low self esteem, but when I think of the more confident people I know, they are the ones unashamed of imperfection.

I for one stopped being so rigid in my cycling schedule. I now dress the way I feel like, colorful if I want to, no planned routes. Yes, I am a Messy Cyclist, and I LOVE IT!

Messy Happy Cyclists!

Amazing Nature Steals my Heart with Wonder – 4 Quotes in Images

AMAZING NATURE

nature dra martha castro noriega tijuana baja california america

Nature is unstoppable, beautifully designed and sculptured, and it keeps coming back all the time. Even though humans have abused it, for survival or greed, earth is resilient, hardy, like us, just like us, human beings.

nature dra martha castro noriega tijuana baja california america

 We are composed of molecular proteins and atoms that gives us life, just like the rest of the inhabitants of earth.

nature dra martha castro noriega tijuana baja california america

The problem is that sometimes we forget our composition and genetics, and because we deal with advanced technology since the industrial revolution, we dissociate ourselves mentally from nature.

nature dra martha castro noriega tijuana baja california america

Ergo, we – humans – are unstoppable too. We keep on growing, discovering, conquering, understanding, creating Let us not forget that our humanity is part of the earth that we admire so much when we look at the horizon, that colossal sunset, the smell of a rained forest, that prodigious lizard, the monumental tree that never dies, that gives us shadow, fruit, flowers, or simply…stays there to remind us of its strength, telling us: «you are me, I am you, we are nature»

Blogging About Religion and the Lack Thereof

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

Do you blog about your religion beliefs or your lack of beliefs? Are you concerned that if you do you might lose followers or fans because of your sincere opinion about it?

I know several bloggers who have told me that they prefer to stick to a comfortable niche; food, travel, designing, literature, etc. And when a blogger makes a post about theism, atheism, agnosticism, etc., they prefer to stay away from that topic and not to give it a like and, of course, not to comment.

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

As all you know, I like to blog about things I love in my life: food (I LOVE food), travel, cats, nature, science, cycling and lifestyle in general. And yes, I try to keep my opinions about religion or the lack thereof to myself, because some people take things too seriously and sometimes they tend to be aggressive if they don’t agree with what they read.

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

Personally, I get along with people of all beliefs and non-believers as well. As long as they respect me as much as I respect them, I don’t have a problem at all. I honestly think that we all can get along if we conduct ourselves with appreciation and consideration. I don’t have to convince anybody about what I do or don’t believe, but I think we all should have the right to express freely our thoughts and opinions without fear of any kind.

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

My blogging is mainly about my lifestyle in general. But I have come to a point in my blog where I need to express my thoughts about religion freely. Of course, with respect and hoping everyone will agree that it is perfectly okay to disagree once in a while and still be friends.

So, what do you think? Should I start blogging about this very interesting topic?
