Some people think they should convince others, that their point of view is better than the rest.
They believe everybody should listen to them, and sometimes they scream to get the attention, they get violent in words or in actions.
They are really convinced they can change others, and they keep on trying harder and harder.
But getting to be right, is giving to be wrong.
I’m not like that. I never try to “convince” people, even though maybe sometimes you get that impression. If so, I’m sorry, ’cause my point of view is not better or worse than yours. It’s just different. For me, my way of living and my points of view, have enabled me to be happy, succesful, healthy, living and experiencing life in a deep sense.
My only intention is to share my things with you, to tell you how I see things. There might be things you like, there might be things you don’t like.
That’s ok. I don’t have the wisdom and truth, I’m just learning like everybody else. I realise my points of view may be different than most other people. That doesn’t make them better or worse, just…different. I don’t judge others, I don’t decide how they should live their lives, I’m not in your shoes.
I just see many people around me, struggling in their lives, wondering what is happening, not knowing who or where they are.
Sometimes I have the same feelings, and I’m always thankful there are people that guide me to the path that feels right for me.
If I can contribute to other people’s happiness, their luck and joy, I gladly do so, by just listening to them and sharing my points of view.
It’s my freedom to say and do my things, as long as I don’t hurt anybody, and I strongly believe I do not hurt other people, I don’t have that power.
Only other people can get hurt if they let me, and still than only their beliefs and not “them” are hurt.
It’s your freedom to listen or not, to make your own choices or not, whether they are concious or not.
I’m just here to share, nothing more, nothing less.
With only good intentions.
No matter how you treat me.
And I have been mistreated numerous times, by people I had not expected it from.
But I have chosen not to get hurt by them anymore, I choose my own feelings, and, how can you ever get mad at the unconciousness of other people?
Most people live completely unconsious.
And how can you blame someone, if he actually doesn’t really know what he is doing?
“Forgive them father, for they do not know, what they are doing.”
Follow your own path, you are the only one who knows what’s best for you.
And if I can inspire you, great!
And if not, that’s great too!
That’s what freedom is all about.
Or are you living the way society, your family, your friends, your boss, your partner, your children, the politics or the government wants?
Who is telling you that you cannot do things? What dreams do you have? And who is holding you from achieving those?
Take a look at yourself.
You begin your life with nothing.
You will leave your life with nothing.
Isn’t it time to actually live in between?
Think of how you want to be remembered when you’re gone…really…how do you want to have lived your life?
I know I will be able to look back at my life and honestly say that I have loved, I have laughed and I have cried.
I’ve lived a life that’s full, I do it every day now and I will do it for the rest of my life, no matter how long that will be.
Regrets I’ve had a few, but too few to mention.
And everything I do, I do it my way. Because it is my life.
For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Your life, your choice!
Have you ever wondered why some people are more effective and more succesful than others?
Are they more intelligent, are they more handsome or beautiful, were they born rich or with a talent?
Maybe sometimes, but most of the time they are just like you!
And it’s not so difficult to be succesful yourself.
But it does take effort and discipline.
Because there are some differences between people that are succesful and those who are not.
Today, the first difference and the first of a small series of things I will be sharing with you.
Ok, here it goes.
The way of thinking.
Mental thoughts create physical results.
But since you are often unaware of your thoughts, it’s like they run you.
And then you get physical results from your unconcious thoughts, which most of the time are not the results you had wanted, had you been aware of your thoughts.
But hey, it’s your life, right? Not that of your thoughts!
So…time to investigate and observe your thoughts.
Become aware of your thoughts, see and hear those little voices inside you, and notice what they are saying.
Be the observer.
And let those thoughts be there. Don’t think they are bad or good, they are just there. Ok?
Just observe them. And notice how even now immediately your thoughts are telling you something! Did you mention it?
Good!
That’s the first step. Becoming aware of your thoughts.
Practise it every day, since it will make you ready for the next step!
The biggest gift you can give someone is to listen.
To really listen to them, and to get what they mean.
You can only do this when you let your judgements and characterizations about that person go and when you’re completely present in the here and now.
Then you can hear him (or her), and you can see what he really means.
Don’t focus too much on his words alone, since communication is more than words.
Feel what they are saying.
And make them to focus on what they want, instead of what they do not want.
Focus on creation instead of fear.
And how do you find out what you really want?
Just listen to yourself.
The answer is inside.
Just listen.
What if something happens in your life and you are put in a situation that you really don’t like…?
You have 3 options then:
1. You can change that situation
2. You can walk away from the situation
3. You can accept the situation
When you want to be responsible for your own life, you have to choose one of these options and face the consequences.
You can come into action and you can choose option 1 or 2. Both of them require action.
You have to be proactive instead of reactive.
When you have been in a bad situation for a long time, then any action is better than no action at all. Because either your action gives you the results you wanted or even when it doesn’t, at least you learned how you do not get the results you want! When you do nothing, you learn nothing. So normally it’s either to choose between option 1 or option 2.
But when you really cannot change the situation you are in, there is only the option left of complete acceptance and throwing away all resistence (option 3). Accept the situation completely and be at peace with it.
Any other thing, like arguing, staying negative, gossiping, feeling pity for yourself or whatever, ANY other thing then the aforementioned 3 options is complety ridiculous. Crazy, lunetic, madness!
So it’s that simple.
3 options.
Which one do you pick?
Did you know that we actually exist for 99,99% of nothing? That’s the amount of space between the different atoms of your body. And you may consider yourself to be a steady form, but in fact, your whole body is always resonating and vibrating, all the molecules and atoms are always in motion. Yet your eyes cannot see that, but it is true. And that vibration of your body is connected with the vibration of the molecules and atoms in the sky and, in everything else. You always resonate on other things, other people. It is this, that makes you sometimes “feel” things from the other person. It is your body resonating with the other one’s.
So, don’t be fooled by just the forms. We are not really what you see. I am not really who you think you see in front of you.
When you look deep into my eyes you will see who I really am.
