Shell Magic
Do you remember your very first visit at a beach? Even the tiniest shell was an amazing treasure!
The years go by and tiny shells don”™t catch your attention anymore. These days they have to be big, beautiful ”“ perfect.
It”™s okay to be picky unless it extinguishes your flames of joy. The good and the bad news are: you are the boss of your break-even point of happiness!
Global Help
Merci to Ester for some Global Help!
“One day a monk fell down in the snow and cried out for help. Another monk came along and lay down beside him. The first monk got up and walked away.” Zen Koan
Happy Racing
It”™s been a hot summer day in a lovely park in Arcachon, France. The kids have fun racing around with these horse-cars over the racetrack. Except one.
Straight on was all fine, even in full speed. Changing directions suddenly was the complicated part. Since the horse-car has no steering wheel, the little boy did not know, how to give his journey the proper turn. Quick solution for him: stop-cry-SCREAM
Fast-forward: even many years later, some of us (sometimes) forget to take the reins in your own hands and consciously pull your life in the direction you want. Yes, steering is sometimes energy consuming but it is the best way to actively create your life. Happy racing!
Golden Thoughts
“All that we are is the result of all that we have thought.” Buddha
Face the Wave
Enlightenments at the beach #2:
Waves (of life) come and go. What can you do?
- Face the wave.
- Prepare your-self for the impact, be conscious.
- Try to keep your balance.
On the next level, listen carefully to the world. Most waves announce themselves with some kind of noise… maybe one day you can just fly above them. Namaste
The Present Moment
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” Buddha
Keep on Moving
Enlightenments at the beach #1:
Let’s take these three components: water, earth and a human being.
- If you stand still at the beach while the waves (of life) come and go, you will sink softly into the sand.
- If you walk along the beach, the waves will erase your prints.
Conclusion: Keep on moving!
Be a Candle
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” Buddha
Cloudless
A poem I found at a wall, author (to me so far) unknown:
There should be more less for you in 2011.
The sky cloudless,
your heart carefree,
your luck wantless,
your guardian angel jobless,
your mind weightless,
your happiness limitless,
your love doubtless,
your work effortless and
the good times endless.
In German:
Im Jahr 2011 soll für Dich jede Menge los sein. Der Himmel wolkenlos, dein Herz sorglos, dein Glück wunschlos, dein Schutzengel arbeitslos, dein Gemüt schwerelos, deine Freude grenzenlos, deine Liebe zweifellos, deine Arbeit mühelos und die guten Zeiten endlos.
