Dance, as though no one is watching,
Love, as though you've never been hurt before,
Sing, as though no one can hear you,
Work, as though you don't need the money,
Live, as though heaven is on earth.
"RUMI"

have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping the ground? ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight, or gazed at the sun fading into the night? you better slow down, don't dance so fast, time is short, the music won't last. do you run through each day on the fly, when you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply? when the day is done, do you lie in your bed, with the next hundred chores running through your head? you better slow down, don't dance so fast, time is short, the music won't last. ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow, and in your haste, not see his sorrow? ever lost touch, let a friendship die, 'cause you never had time to call and say hi? you better slow down, don't dance so fast, time is short, the music won't last. when you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun of getting there. when you worry and hurry through your day, it's like an unopened gift thrown away. life isn't a race, so take it slower, hear the music before your song is over |

time you enjoy waisting, is not waisted
john lennon
onze grootste angst betreft niet onze onbekwaamheid
onze grootste angst is dat we onmetelijk sterk zijn
niet de duisternis, maar het licht maakt ons bang
we vragen ons af: 'wie ben ik om geniaal, mooi, getalenteerd en geweldig te zijn?
waarom zou je dat niet zijn? met minderwaardigheid bewijs je de wereld geen dienst
er is niets verheffends in ineenkrimpen opdat anderen zich in jou nabijheid niet onzeker voelen
als we zelf durven schitteren, dan geven we onbewust anderen de toestemming hetzelfde te doen
nelson mandela
