The Doors - The End




Intéresse-toi à la vie comme tu la vois,
 les gens, les choses, la littérature, la musique -
le monde est si riche,
 il vibre grâce à ses trésors,
de ces âmes belles et de gens intéressants.
Oublie-toi.

- Henri Miller -









Running away from fear is fear;
fighting pain is pain;
trying to be brave is being scared.
 If the mind is in pain, the mind is in pain.
 The thinker has no other form than his thoughts.

- Alan Watts -








Letting go is the lesson.
 Letting go is always the lesson. 
Have you ever noticed how much of our agony
 is all tied up with craving and loss?

RIJKDOM
 
IS EEN TEVREDEN GEEST 
 
 



There’s nothing to prove,
 nothing to figure out,
 nothing to understand. 
 
When we finally stop explaining everything to ourselves, 
we may discover that in silence,
 complete understanding is already there.
 
 
- Steve Hagen -






We are always peace. 
 
To get rid of the idea
 
 that we are not peace
 
 is all that is required.
 
 
- Ramana Maharshi -







You can’t know your real self 
 
as long as you deceive yourself.
 
 
- Bodhidharma -







Le silence est notre thérapie.
 C’est lui qui nous apprend à regarder le passé,
 à affronter nos actes, 
à combattre les erreurs. 
C’est lui qui nous fait réfléchir, 
et nous pousse à la remise en question, 
lui aussi qui nous guide,
 apaise nos angoisses ou les fait resurgir, 
nous sort de l’incertitude 
ou nous plonge dans la folie. 
C’est lui qui apprivoise ce que nous sommes,
 assassine le poids des heures,
 lutte contre les parts de nous-mêmes
 que nous voudrions oublier.
 
-  Anne-Sophie Brasme, Respire -
 
 
 







I am aware
 that I am less than some people prefer me to be,
 but most people are unaware
 that I am so much more than what they see.
 
- Douglas Pagels -







Ik hoef aan niemand iets te bewijzen. 

Zelfs niet aan mezelf. 






Sometimes people who don’t socialize much

 aren’t actually antisocial. 

They just have no tolerance 

for drama and fake people.

 

- Unknown -








Ik doe mijn best.

Meer moet ik van mezelf niet eisen. 






If there is peace in your mind you will find peace with everybody.
 If your mind is agitated you will find agitation everywhere.
 So first find peace within 
and you will see this inner peace reflected everywhere else. 
You are this peace!

Being both soft and strong

 is a combination 

very few have mastered.









The words you speak
 
 become the house you live in 
 
 
- Hafiz -







You can’t force someone to respect you, 

but you can choose not to be disrespected.

 

- Unknown -






Stress is caused
 
 by being here 
 
but wanting to be there.
 

-  Eckhart Tolle -
 
 
 



Ervaring is wat je krijgt, 
 
wanneer je niet krijgt wat je wilt. 


- Dan Stanford -

Die to the past every moment. 

You don’t need it. 

Only refer to it when it is absolutely relevant to the present.

  Feel the power of this moment.

Feel your presence.

 

- Eckhart Tolle - 

 

 

 




If you know yourself,
 then you’ll not be harmed
 by what is said about you.

Arab Proverb






If someone is being unkind or petty or jealous or distant or weird, 
you don’t have to take it in. 
You don’t have to turn it into a big psychodrama about your worth.
 That behavior so often is not even about you.
 It’s about the person who’s being unkind or petty or jealous or distant or weird.
 If this were summed up on a bumper sticker it would say: 
Don’t own other people’s crap. 
 
- Cheryl Strayed -
 
 
 




 De ultieme definitie van moed : 

Geen angst hebben voor we je bent. 

 
- Chongyam Trungpa -



Renaud -- Dès que le vent soufflera



 
It’s a beautiful thing 
to have lungs that allow you to breathe air 
and legs that allow you to climb mountains,
 and it’s a shame that sometimes 
 we don’t realize that that’s enough.
 
- Author Unknown - 
 
 
 
 




I'm OKAY 

in my own way






So tell me, where shall I go? 
To the left, where nothing's right? 
Or to the right, where nothing's left?


My answer would be :

then keep moving forward.

Falen is niet het tegenovergestelde van slagen.

Falen maakt deel uit van slagen.





We zijn het zo gewoon om van buitenaf gestimuleerd te worden 
dat we moeite hebben om stil te worden 
en te genieten van de stilte van onze eigen geest. 
 
- G.K. Gyatso -






Why would we ever want to prove critics wrong 

when their opinion never mattered anyway?

The interesting thing about greed
 is that although the underlying motive is to seek satisfaction,
 even after obtaining what you want,
 you’re still not satisfied.
 
 It’s this endless, nagging desire for more 
that leads to trouble. 
 
On the other hand,
 if you’re truly contented,
 it doesn’t matter whether you get what you want or not. 
Either way,
 you remain content. 
 
- Dalai Lama -






Replace 'I don't care' 

with 'I don't mind'. 







The miracle is this…

The more we share

The more

We have
