or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same.”

you are either working at your Freedom
or you are accepting your bondage.

Simple but profound to do:
When the terror of life grips you,
return to Mother Nature.
Sit by the tallest tree,
and release some sorrow into the Earth.

Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself
and the ones that have been told to you.

If someone comes along and shoots an arrow into your heart,
it’s fruitless to stand there and yell at the person.
It would be much better to turn your attention to the fact that there’s an arrow in your heart…

We like to be out in nature so much

The moment of awakening may be marked by an outbursts of laughter,
but this is not the laughter of someone who has won the lottery or some kind of victory.
It is the laughter of one who, after searching for something for a long time,
suddenly finds it in the pocket of his coat.

I asked the Zebra,
are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or are you quiet with noisy times?
Are you happy with some sad days?
Or are you sad with some happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on and on and on he went.
I’ll never ask a zebra about stripes…again.

“Recently, one friend asked me,
“How can I force myself to smile when I am filled with sorrow?
It isn’t natural.” I told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow,
because we are more than our sorrow.
A human being is like a television set with millions of channels.
If we turn the Buddha on, we are the Buddha.
If we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow.
If we turn a smile on, we really are the smile.
We can not let just one channel dominate us.
We have the seed of everything in us,
and we have to seize the situation in our hand,
to recover our own sovereignty.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh

Don’t let yourself be controlled by these three things:

Let It Go ~
Whatever someone has done to you is going to be attracted right back to them at some point.
You are not involved in this process, its simple law of attraction.
Stop carrying it around and let the universe take care of it - good, bad or indifferent.
Their stuff, Their lesson. Let it Go.

De zin van het leven kan
enkel verloren worden
in ons denken
Het leven stroomt al
door ons heen
net zoals het door
alles stroomt
het leven heeft geen oordeel
of het zin heeft of niet
je kan het niet
zomaar verliezen,
het 'is' er en
je bent het

De magische woorden: "DANK U"...
Wees dankbaar ...
Ook voor de mooie momenten,
wees gewoon voor alles dankbaar.
