Happiness within my make-believe Houses de William Sim
I discovered this artist William Sim on Instagram and I fell in love with these little houses which are adorable as if painted in watercolor. It’s as if I discovered lots of possible and imaginable little corners of paradise, inviting my mind not to compartmentalize myself but to feel both free and safe in the fact that there are so few walls in these houses. . All you need is a roof and essential items. This creates a connection to my soul, an inner-outer harmony. I can imagine building two or three of these types of houses on my land in Tahiti. It gives me the impression of living like…

The Giver (2014)
It’s a science fiction movie that marked me a lot because it was for me a very good emotional inducer. That’s what I expected from cinema, that it would make me feel a lot of emotions. This film made me want to be alive more than ever and to listen to my emotions! The story is set in a distant future, in a community where free will does not exist, where life is tasteless, where we all dress the same. Moreover, the future of each citizen is programmed for a very specific profession according to the qualities of each of them that were observed during their childhood. All the inhabitants…

Identify your personal values
What are values ? Do you know your values ? They are the reference points that motivate you and allow you to make decisions in accordance with your personality. They are your compass to chart your life path and be its captain. For example, the freedom to be myself is very important to me. As soon as someone tries to force me to do things according to rules that are too codified, my need to express myself feels oppressed and I find it difficult to hold back my desire to rebel. This value can be found in every area of my life. For example, I practice English boxing and foot/fist boxing because…

Be the captain of your life
Life is an adventure I really like this word “captain”, being the captain of your life, of your ship! I explained on my home page my journey and the reasons why I created this site “Treasures of Life”. Life is a wonderful adventure: navigating and discovering treasure maps and nuggets of happiness with the backdrop of loving yourself fully to be proud of your Personal History. I also mentioned my three main guidelines, those which are the foundations of my personality and which have allowed me to remain positive and to overcome difficulties: keep your child’s soul, keep your smile and cultivate gratitude. I hadn’t written an article on “being…

Why write for yourself?
The beauty of your writing Writing has always fascinated me and I have gotten into the habit of applying myself when I write. At school, I loved looking at the writing of my little classmates, especially that of a left-handed Tahitian woman. This intrigued me a lot, I observed her for a long time: the way she positioned her notebook, held her pen, formed pretty little letters. I even tried writing with my left hand to try to “feel” what it feels like to be left-handed. Finding my signature was also something important for me, since it’s like a seal that you put on precious documents and as I’m a…
