Advice

Dit is van lang geleden, van làng voor ik in contact kwam met Reiki... (°1999)


"Be careful with whose advice you follow,
and be patient to those you supply yours"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is my advice to the world. This is my philosophy.

You live this life only once, make the best out of it every single day.
Get to know people. Do not lock yourself into your own ivory tower.
Smile and say hello to strangers – nothing is nicer than the smile you get in return.

Remember that you are special, just like everybody else.
Do not feel down too long – the sun hides behind the clouds.
When you feel happy, catch this moment and hold it in your memory
As clouds again are showing up when you least expect it. But it won't last…

Do not underestimate yourself! Do not underestimate others!
Don't look up onto celebrities or people so-called higher in rank.
Imagine them early in the morning in their bathroom...
You are not less or more than anybody else. We are all equal.

Lay down in the grass and watch the ants – and see how their society resembles to ours.
What is the meaning of life for an ant? Would an ant be aware of humans?
Would it care about us anyway?
Why should we then care about a fourth dimension? Just be aware there is one.

Explore and broaden your visions – be open to new experiences.
Live today. Do not worry about the future.
What is meant to be, will come anyhow. Trust yourself and your intuition.
Forget the idea that everything used to be better when you were younger.
Everything changes – accept these changes. Have the courage to change the things you can.
Know the things you can not change. Have the wisdom to know the difference between them.

Bear your good memories in your heart, and be fully aware of a good moment when you live it.
But do not carry along the way too much material stuff.
The less you own, the less it will be of your concern.
Don't be afraid to throw away old stuff, you will never use it anyway.
Except for photographs. Those are your material memories.

Get to know other cultures – and its differences and similarities to your own.
People are people, all with the same needs and longings.
Communicate, evaluate, and appreciate what you have got at home.

All is relative.
There is always worse than your own bad situation.
There is always better than the best you can.
Make progress in your own life. Look up new challenges, at one step at the time.
Every time you succeed, you will be happier.
Every time you don‘t, do something else, it is not such a big deal anyway.

Enjoy a good wine, but never alone and never when you are feeling bad.
Enjoy life… and express yourself. Sing in your car, loudly and even out of tune.
Move, not because you should, but because it will make you feel better afterwards.
Dance, wherever you can, even alone in your kitchen. Get the rhythm.
Hug your friends. Have good sex.

Get enough vitamins and eat well balanced. Be proud of your body and take good care of it.
Sleep enough and allow yourself to have happy dreams only.
Remember your nice dreams in the morning, just before getting out of bed.

Be a child again once in a while.
Nothing is for granted. Be amazed about apparently evident situations.
Do something foolish sometimes. Don't care about what other people might think about it.
Your age is of no importance whatsoever. You are as old as you feel.
You can either learn from a four-year old child as from a greyish eighty-something.

Everything you do, do it fully aware.
This is my advice to the world. This is my philosophy to be happy.
Yours friendly, Carla.
