For an instant, from the mountain top, I was enjoying the view. From a state of newly foundpeace, I was contemplating what laid ahead of me. As I had been told months before, when I was stil lunaware of all of this: “The butterfly has taken flight towards flowered gardens where she can finally savour the fruits.”“To evolve, it is necessary to start from loving yourself, not by external recognition. With this attitude, obstacles will stop being such and will become opportunities. Paola exemplifies this perfectly with her mind, but even more so, with her heart. She creates her life with patience, power and direct attention. By reading her inspiring words, I hope that you can apply what she has put into her practice to reach your true potential.” - Max GentileBio: Paola Fraschini is an Italian athlete and artist from Genoa who has skated since childhood.
