Pay no attention to the thoughts that bother you. 

Don't fight them.

 Just do nothing about them, 

let them be, 

whatever they are. 

Your very fighting them gives them life. 

Just disregard. 

Look through.

- Nisargadatta Maharaj -

 

 

 

 

 Be where you are,

 stop over-thinking, 

and focus 

on what you are doing. 

- Roy T. Bennett -

 

 Eckhart Tolle says fear arises

 when we become drawn into negative thinking

 and project it into the future.

 He goes on to say that most of the time, 

fear has no basis in reality

 because when the future finally arrives, 

it's actually the present moment again. 

And in the present there is usually nothing to fear.

 

 

 

Weinig woorden

 zeggen veel. 

 

Je kan veel zeggen

 met weinig woorden.

 

 

 

 

 

VOLMAAKT  ONVOLMAAKT

 

 

 

 

 No matter how far your mind tries to jump ahead, 

the path forward is always step by step,

 breath by breath.

 All we can ever do is breathe 

and take the step in front of us.

 

 

 

 

Just follow the breath whenever you can

 during the day, 

because it will calm your nervous system 

and give your mind something to do

 other than to obsessively think.

- Adyashanti -

 

John Williams: Schindler´s List Theme - Itzhak Perlman

 

 

 

 

 Your breath is the greatest asset you have.

 It is naturally meditative and always with you.

 It reflects your most powerful emotions 

and helps you 

either soothe 

or harness them.

 

 

 

- Tove Jansson -

 

 

 Despair 

is not a response that helps anyone 

– least of all you.

 

 

  doelbewust aandacht schenken

 aan het hier en nu, 

zonder te oordelen

 

 

The Last Great Adventure

 

it’s okay to admit you’re afraid 

 

 i’m scared too 

 

 we all are 

 

we can meet right here 

 

in our human vulnerability 

 

and hold each other’s hands 

 

as we walk along.
