Moeilijk,

maar niet onmogelijk.

When we stop opposing reality,

 

 action becomes 

 

simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.

 

 

- Byron Katie -

When the terror of life grips you,

return to Mother Nature.

Sit by the tallest tree,

and release some sorrow

into the Earth.


- Hxni - 

In those moments

 when we realize 

how much we cannot control,

 we can learn to let go.

Like a lotus flower

 

 we too have the ability 

 

to rise from the mud, 

 

bloom out of the darkness,

 

 and radiate into the world.

When you are tempted to give up, 

 

your break through

 

 is probably just round the corner. 

Give yourself some credit. 

 

You've come pretty far.

BEND

but

DON'T BREAK

When we are willing

 to stay even a moment 

with uncomfortable energy, 

we gradually learn

 not to fear it.

Light must come from inside.

 You cannot ask the darkness to leave; 

you must turn on the light.

VANDAAG 

MAAKT 

HET VERSCHIL 

The function of mindfulness is, first, to recognize the suffering and then to take care of the suffering.

The work of mindfulness is first to recognize the suffering and second to embrace it.

A mother taking care of a crying baby naturally will take the child into her arms without suppressing, judging it, or ignoring the crying.

Mindfulness is like that mother, recognizing and embracing suffering without judgement.

So the practice is not to fight or suppress the feeling, but rather to cradle it with a lot of tenderness. 

When a mother embraces her child, that energy of tenderness begins to penetrate into the body of the child. 

Even if the mother doesn’t understand at first why the child is suffering and she needs some time to find out what the difficulty is, just her act of taking the child into her arms with tenderness can already bring relief. 

If we can recognize and cradle the suffering while we breathe mindfully, there is relief already.

-  Thich Nhat Hanh -

Watch the waves in the ocean. 

The higher the wave goes, the deeper is the wake that follows it.

 One moment you are the wave, another moment you are the hollow wake that follows.

 Enjoy both - don’t get addicted to one.

 Don’t say: I would always like to be on the peak. 

It is not possible. 

Simply see the fact: it is not possible.

 It has never happened and it will never happen.

 It is simply impossible - not in the nature of things. 

Then what to do?

 Enjoy the peak while it lasts and then enjoy the valley when it comes.

 What is wrong with the valley? 

What is wrong with being low? 

It is a relaxation.

 A peak is an excitement,

 and nobody can exist continuously in an excitement.

 

- Osho -

We have the tendency to make assumptions about everything. 

The true problem with making these assumptions is that we believe they are the truth. 

We could swear they are real. 

We make assumptions about what others are doing or thinking-we take it personally-then we blame them and react by sending emotional poison with our word.

 That is why whenever we make assumptions, we’re asking for problems.

 We make assumptions, we misunderstand, and end up creating a whole big drama for nothing.

Flowers grow back, 

 

even after they are stepped on.

 

 So will I. 

And once the storm is over

you won’t remember how you made it through, 

how you managed to survive.

You won’t even be sure, in fact,

whether the storm is really over.

But one thing is certain.

When you come out of the storm

you won’t be the same person who walked in.
