Het is niet de berg die wij overwinnen

 

 maar onszelf. 

 

 

- Sir Edmond Hillary -

What we have to discover

is that there is no safety,

that seeking is painful,

and that when we imagine that we have found it, 

we don’t like it.

- Alan Watts -

What you think of me

 

 is none of my business.

If you must look back, do so forgivingly

If you must look forward, do so prayerfully.

However, the wisest thing you can do

is be present in the present.

Gratefully.

Soms moet er iets gebeuren 

voordat er iets gebeurt.

De littekens zal ik altijd houden.

Ze zijn deel van wie ik ben.

Maar dat is OK.

Dat was toen, 

en dit is nu. 

Men kan niemand iets leren; 

men kan hem alleen helpen 

het binnen zichzelf te vinden.

Galileo Galilei

Other people’s opinions about you

don’t need to change,

they just need to start matter less.

 

 

 

If you must look back, do so forgivingly

If you must look forward, do so prayerfully.

However, the wisest thing you can do

is be present in the present. Gratefully.

We are healed of a suffering

only by experiencing it to the full.

from Albertine disparue, by Marcel Proust

Little by little 

 

one walks far.

There is nothing more

“Hello," Life says, "Remember me?
We started out together here
When you were just a bundle
Of innocent amazement.
Remember how you saw the world
With nothing but wonder?
We were such rowdy playmates then.
We painted on the sky with clouds
And made magic out of
Clothespins and peanut butter.
Remember, can you, how I became stained and heavy
With trouble?
Not safe now. Lots of no.
They dressed me in painful clothes
And made you wear them, too.
You don't recognize me, do you
But I've never abandoned you
Or lost my wild, happy desire
To show you
Play with you
Kiss you
Hide and seek down twisty paths
And always discover more.
Want to run away with me again?
Shall we elope without ever leaving
Because that's possible, you know.
I've never been anywhere but here
Waiting for you
To remember.

The moment you know 

you know 

you know.

 

  David Bowie

 

 

 

Life’s uncertainty makes constant demands on everyone’s coping mechanisms. There are basically two ways to cope with uncertainty – acceptance and resistance. Acceptance means that you allow events to unfold around you and react to them spontaneously, without suppression. Resistance means that you try to change events from what they really are…

Acceptance is healthy because it permits you to clear any stress as soon as it occurs; resistance is unhealthy because it builds up residues of frustration, false expectations, and unfulfilled desires.

- Deepak Chopra, “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind”-

Forgive yourself

 for accepting less than you deserved

 - but don’t do it again.

 

 

We need so much less

than we think,

and think so much more

than we need.

- William Chapman -

We do not heal the past 

 

by dwelling there; 

 

we heal the past 

 

by living fully in the present. 

 

 

- Marianne Williamson -

SURRENDER !

Sometimes all you can do 

is put one foot in front of the other.

 

 

Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity

which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself

or get anywhere else,

but simply to realize where you already are.

- Jon Kabat-Zinn -

 

 

 

I also believe that introversion is my greatest strength. 

I have such a strong inner life that I’m never bored and only occasionally lonely. 

No matter what is happening around me, I know I can always turn inward.

 

- Susan Cain -

Find things beautiful as much as you can,

most people find too little beautiful.

Voor sommige mensen 

zul je nooit goed genoeg zijn.

 

En dat is niet erg, 

 

want het is hun tekortkoming,

 

niet de jouwe! 

 

 

 

Ik begrijp jou niet.

 

Jij begrijpt mij niet. 

 

Wat hebben we nog meer gemeen?

Patience 

is being at peace 

with the process of life.

 

 

The fear is simply

because you are not living with life.

You are living in your mind.

The world will knock you down plenty. 

You don’t need to be doing it to yourself.

econoom

 

er was eens een econoom die op

liefde wou besparen, omdat hij te veel
geven moest en o zo weinig kreeg.
hij zei iets over ‘rentevoet’ en dat
soort conjuncturen, maar wist
niet dat verliefd zijn investeren is
in ’t donkerste der uren.
die econoom, met al zijn geld,
heeft me dat in vertrouwen verteld
op een stoel, in een café, aan een
tafeltje bedoeld voor twee,
zijn haarlijn in recessie,
de econoom en zijn depressie.

I have my mother’s mouth

and my father’s eyes;
