If a
person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that
person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face
gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

Christmas has become more than just a celebration of the birth of
Jesus.
It has become a global phenomena.
People, including Buddhists like myself, enjoy the lights and the tree and gift giving.
We enjoy the festive atmosphere and the warmth of the season.
In short, Christmas is lovely.
It brings people together.
Even if we are not Christians we can appreciate the wisdom of the teachings of Jesus, that gentle rabbi of the Galilee and all of these things are “the reason for the season”.

The best day of your life
is the one on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses.
No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.
The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey -
and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.
This is the day your life really begins.

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”

People will love you.
People will hate you.
And none of it
will have anything to do with you.

Soms kan het helpen om emotionele zaken rationeel proberen te bekijken.
Om te vermijden dat we er volledig in opgaan en een ongeleid projectiel worden.
Door er anders te gaan over denken, kun je je er ook anders bij gaan voelen.
Want het zijn je gedachten erover die de gevoelens teweegbrengen.
Als je die gedachten verandert, dan voelt het ook meteen anders.
Emoties zijn nodig, en ze moeten er ook mogen zijn en mogen gevoeld worden,
maar je kan wel vermijden dat je jezelf er in verliest.

Bedankt Diana!

Take It As It Comes - The Doors
"Take It As It Comes"
Time to live
Time to lie
Time to laugh
Time to die
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Time to walk
Time to run
Time to aim your arrows
At the sun
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Go real slow
You like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in havin' fun
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
