#105 Balkan inspiration
A Montenegro Folk Tale, Retold
Spring is in the air!
My favorite time of the year is here, and I am more excited than ever. I do not know exactly why—nothing I can point out in the world—but I can choose a few nice things to give meaning to.
Maybe because I know spring comes with new blooms around. Maybe because it will be my birthday? Because the planets are aligned? Because I am a beautiful Aries? Because I am an alchemist in human design? Because my mom feels a little better and walks 4–5 laps around the soccer field a day? Because I feel my dad more understanding and supportive than ever? Because I feel my brother like he really is my brother, finally? Because my nieces are so beautiful and creative, an inspiration to keep up with them? Because my sister-in-law and I can congratulate each other for the wins we have and the projects we succeed with? Because, finally, one of my new best friends is a man? Because my lifetime friends see me in a different light? Because I make friends with more ease? Because Dr. Robert and Dr. Luzette are teaching the best classes in the world? Or the prayers I say?
…The list can go on and on…
But at the end of the list and at the end of the day, the most important factor that makes me feel amazing is the peace in my heart.
I am I and I am ME.
Me, and all the Mihas at all times, in all dimensions, through infinity, the one and only who takes responsibility for my own emotions. I own what I feel. I honor every moment with its own vibration. I am learning to stop being my own critic and celebrate my feelings.
When I feel sad, I cry.
When I feel mad, I punch or scream.
When I feel glad, I sing and dance.
When I feel scared, I hide.

And owning these emotions, expressing them shamelessly, gives me the freedom to be human. Big realization for me: I am not a robot, I am a human! Having a heart is more important than knowing everything AI knows and do it perfectly.
Perfect is the way it is. - byMiha
Cheers to life!!!
Today, I have a story for you. My good friend Gordana from Montenegro told me this amazing fairytale that is so much better than any princess story I know. It deeply touched my heart. So much wisdom in it, great teachings. Balkan people are wise. With all my modesty—look at me! A great example. 😇🙃
I hope you read this story to your family, to your child.
A Montenegro Folk Tale, retold
Once upon a time, in a kingdom between the mountains and the sea, there lived a mighty king with his only daughter. She was not only beautiful but wise and kind, beloved by all. The king becoming old he wished for a worthy man to rule after him—someone who was not just strong or wealthy but truly wise to love and cherish his daughter and the kingdom.
So he made a proclamation across the land:
"Whoever answers my three questions correctly shall marry my daughter and become king. But beware! Each man has only one chance. If he fails, he will lose his head."
