The future is a mystery.

You can find a lot of wisdom in books.Have a lucky day,dear Friend!

You matter, not because of what you do or accomplish, 

but because of who you are. 

Even on days of doubt, remember: 

the world shines a little brighter because you're in it.

The Empty Boat

For every moment you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness. - Anon.

The Parable of the Empty Boat.

A monk decides to meditate alone, away from his monastery. He takes his boat out to the middle of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes, and begins his meditation. After a few hours of undisturbed silence, he suddenly feels the bump of another boat colliding with his own. With his eyes still closed, he senses anger bubbling up. By the time he opens his eyes, he is ready to scream at the boatman who dared disturb his meditation. But when looks, he sees that the boat is empty! It had probably got untethered and floated to the middle of the lake. At that moment, the monk achieves Self-Realization, and understands that the anger he so righteously feels, is within him. It merely needs the bump of an external object to provoke it out of him. From then on, whenever he comes across someone who irritates him or provokes him to anger, he reminds himself, “This person is merely an empty boat. It's not what's making me angry - the anger is already within me. If I didn't have anger, it wouldn't come out". And then chooses how to respond instead. Not reacting angrily doesn't mean you don't care about something, sometimes it means you care enough about yourself to walk away. This isn't to say you should never get angry - anger is a part of the human experience and tells you what's important to you. What I'm saying is, use your anger in positive ways. Channel it in ways that you can both, express it safely and let it fuel your power and determination to create a life and experiences that move you forward. And remember what a wise person once said - anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. I think most of us have to work on this...

Love and Blessings Friend

You weren't born to please anyone; 

you have to live life to express yourself, 

not to impress anyone. 

Don't pretend to be someone you're not, 

and never lose yourself seeking 

the acceptance and approval of others.

We can't be afraid of change. 

You may feel very safe in the pond you're in, 

but if you never venture out, 

you'll never know there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea.

Holding on to something that feels good to you now may 

be the reason you don't have something better.

Have a lovely day,sweet Friend!

GOOD EVENING
 Somebody asked me recently what do I think about the people out there who are seen as failures by their peers. (The definition of failure can be different from one person to another). I know that there are people who are being very patient while working on themselves, or an important project that hopefully will result in them achieving their dreams. They do this silently and diligently. They may appear to be failing but, they the are far from failing and diligently working towards their goal.    
 
Beware of judging others. Because  you never how things will turn out. I have seen this happen so many times. May I leave you with this,“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race ” Calvin Coolidge.

Liebe Christine! Nun ist
es soweit, dass ich mich verabschieden muss. Um 13:15 geht der Flieger nach
Teneriffa, wo wir 10 Tage bleiben. Momentan sind dort 28 Grad, finde ich ideal
am Meer, wo ja meist auch ein Lüftchen weht. Dir wünsche ich eine Gute Zeit
während meiner Abwesenheit. Pass gut auf dich auf und bleib gesund. Ich melde
mich, wenn ich zurück bin. Lass dich aus der Ferne ganz herzlich drücken und
viele liebe Grüße von Deiner Liliane. Tschüsssiii!!!!!

Have pleasant moments ,sweet Friend!

Liebe Christine, ich hoffe
du bist gut in die neue Woche gestartet. Wir hatten einen grauen, aber
trockenen 1. Wochentag und so soll es noch weitergehen. Wünsche dir einen
angenehmen Dienstag mit von Allem nur das Beste. Liebe Knuddelgrüsse von Deiner
Liliane.

Life's too short to waste time wondering 

what other people think of you. 

First of all, if they had better things going on in life, 

they wouldn't have time to talk about you. 

What's important to me isn't other people's opinions, it's my own.

WELCOME NEW WEEK,SWEET FRIEND!Have a good one,Hugs,M.

Liebe Christine! Ich hoffe
du hattest ein angenehmes WE und kannst erholt in die neue Woche starten. Hab
einen schönen, sonnigen Montag und lass es langsam angehen. Lass dich drücken
aus der Ferne und ganz viele liebe Grüße von Deiner Liliane.
