Inspiration From Noora, a laughter yoga coach, life coach, author and entrepreneur at 23 years young.
First of all, I'm grateful to Arkadia, the international bookstore here in downtown Helsinki, for organising such wonderful events, almost every other evenings, for independent artists, entrepreneurs so they can promote their authentic creations, with an hour complimentary use of his store space. Ian, the owner of the bookstore, says that his dream is to create an environment such that ANYONE can step into his store and any independent artists (as long as the creation is authentic) can showcase their talents here.
Meet Noora - who at an young age of 23, is an author of two books, many poems and a laughter yoga & life skills coach. In her childhood, she had undergone several surgeries and time in the hospital due to the congenital disease that causes brittle bones. With all these challenges, there has never been a reason in her head not to be able to do what she want! On the contrary, she said, all these different challenges give her an extra boost to do and try out things, to break boundaries. She believes that everything is possible, if only we give permission to possibilities! How inspiring!
Despite many challenges, she has received alot of encouragement and thereby also felt encouraged to help others too. It has really become a calling, a kind of life mission for her. She enjoys getting to her work dealing with different people, to encourage them to carry out their own dreams and bring light to every man encountered every day!
One of her motto is: "When you are open to the world, the world is open to you!"
I am encouraged by Noora to continue my journey of carrying out my dreams with courage, light and love to every person I encounter each day. With each challenge we face, turn it into a motivation, be mindful of people around us, of all the resources we received instead of what we lack in, and be creative - if plan A doesn't work, plan B, plan C, D ...
I hope this inspires you in some ways too.
Noora, reading out her poems at the bookstore:
her poems about balancing life, and other perspective of living.
Noora's new book released - she's inspired to draw and write this book after she became a godmother, and through the eyes of a child, her new book showcases stories and perspectives towards life. I simply love the drawings!
No matter what challenges, keep flapping your wings and keep flying!
