Wat als je morgen zou wakker worden 

met alleen dat 

waar je vandaag dankbaar voor was?
 






People lie, 


actions don't. 








Closeness

 has nothing to do 

with distance.

In this moment, you don’t need all the answers.

They will come to you in time, or not,

or maybe the unnecessary questions will fall away.

One of the most significant negative habits we should be aware of is that of constantly allowing our mind to run off into the future. Perhaps we got this from our parents. Carried away by our worries, we’re unable to live fully and happily in the present. Deep down, we believe we can’t really be happy just yet—that we still have a few more boxes to be checked off before we can really enjoy life.
- Thich Nhat Hanh-
 
 
 



Style is the answer to everything. 

A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. 

To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it. 

To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art.

 

- Charles Bukowski -

My philosophy: it’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier."
 
 
 
 



The thing I’ve learned is that often the pain doesn’t come from your emotions at all; it comes from your resistance to feeling them. It comes from the constant battle that begins the moment you dip your toe in the water, and before you’ve even deciphered what that sensation is, your mind has switched to flight mode and you’re running for the hills. The pain comes from the unending list of destructive ways you keep yourself numb. But eventually you must realise that in blocking your true feelings you’re creating other forms of unbearable pain. And that the only way out is to dive right in. When you allow yourself to feel everything that you really feel, you discover that it was never your emotions that were drowning you, it was your fear of them. You find that not only can you swim, but you can float, and when you stop fighting them, many of these feelings will float on by with ease.








Nothing and nobody, no outer circumstance or event, no word or deed, can cause you to suffer. Suffering is always your own internal resistance to the Way Things Are Right Now, your hidden refusal to experience what you are experiencing.
- Jeff Foster -






Er was eens een man, die zich zo ergerde aan het zien van zijn eigen schaduw en zo ontevreden was met zijn eigen voetstappen, dat hij besloot zich van allebei te ontdoen. 

De methode die hij bedacht was om ervan weg te lopen. Dus stond hij op en rende weg. Maar elke keer dat hij zijn voet neerzette was er weer een andere stap, terwijl zijn schaduw hem zonder enige moeite bijhield. Hij schreef zijn mislukking toe aan het feit dat hij niet hard genoeg liep. Dus liep hij steeds harder en harder zonder ophouden, tot hij tenslotte dood neerviel. 

Het was niet bij hem opgekomen dat hij alleen maar in de schaduw hoefde te gaan staan om zijn schaduw te laten verdwijnen, en dat er geen voetstappen meer zouden zijn als hij zou gaan zitten en stil zou blijven zitten. 

- Chuang Tzu - 








We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land.

It is not our purpose to become each other;

it is to recognize each other,

to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is:

each the other’s opposite and complement.


- Hermann Hesse -

De pijn wordt genezen,

door de pijn te voelen.
