Have a great weekend, Jenny
Tag: quote
For a good start into the weekend!
“A human being … experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest–a kind of optical illusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening the circle of understanding and compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” – Albert Einstein
I found this very interesting quote today:
“An expat is often someone who knows little about his own people he spent a long time with, but thinks he knows everything about the foreigners he has spent a short time with.” (T. Crossley)
Food for thought!
About failure
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again more intelligently
– Henry Ford
A few words you might want to reflect upon
As I truly had a re-energizing and stimulating weekend in my silent retreat in the mountains, let me share this quote with you, which I find very inspirational:
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” John Lennon (via goodreads.com)
Have a great week and thanks for reading!

Are you afraid of the ‘light’?
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark.
The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
Plato
How do you see the world?
“A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – Le Petit Prince found here.
Tell me, is your glass half-full or is it half-empty?
Positive and mindful thoughts level the path to success and achievement.
You are the architect of your own life.

Being content…
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
– Lao Tzu by brainyquote
Sharing a secret with you…
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible for the eye.
