LE PARADOXE DE NOTRE ÉPOQUE de Dr. Bob Moorehead

Posted on 5:20 AM by Unknown

LE PARADOXE DE NOTRE ÉPOQUE
Dr. Bob Moorehead

Le paradoxe de notre temps est que nous avons de plus grands bâtiments mais des plus petits tempéraments, des autoroutes plus larges mais des points de vue plus étroits.
Nous dépensons plus mais nous avons moins. Nous achetons plus mais apprécions moins. Nous avons de plus grandes maisons, mais de plus petites familles, plus de commodités mais moins de temps.


Nous avons plus d’instruction mais moins de bons sens, plus de connaissances mais moins de jugement, plus d’experts et encore plus de problèmes, plus de médicaments mais moins de bien-être.
Nous avons trop, nous fumons trop, nous nous dépensons inconsidérément, nous rions trop peu, conduisons trop vite, nous nous mettons trop en colère, nous nous levons trop tard et fatigués, nous pensons trop peu, regardons trop la telé et méditons trop rarement.


Nous avons multiplié nos possessions mais réduit nos valeurs. Nous parlons trop, aimons trop rarement et haïssons trop souvent. Nous avons appris comment gagner notre vie mais pas la vie.
Nous avons ajouté des années à la vie, pas de la vie aux années. Nous sommes allés sur la lune et en sommes revenus, mais avons des difficultés à traverser la rue pour rencontrer un nouveau voisin.
Nous avons conquis l’espace sidéral mais pas notre espace intérieur. Nous avons fait de grandes choses mais pas les meilleures choses. Nous purifions l’air, mais polluons les âmes.


Nous avons conquis l’atome, mais pas vaincu nos préjugés. Nous écrivons plus mais apprenons moins. Nous planifions plus mais accomplissons moins. Nous avons appris à nous précipiter mais pas à attendre.
Nous construisons plus d’ordinateurs pour obtenir plus d’informations pour produire plus de documents que jamais, mais nous communiquons de moins en moins.


Nous sommes dans le temps de la nourriture rapide mais des digestions lentes, des êtres humains de grandes tailles mais de petits caractères, des trop larges profits et des relations peu profondes.Nous jouissons de deux revenus mais divorçons, nos maisons sont luxueuses mais nos foyers détruits.
De nos jours nous faisons des voyages éclairs, et des couches-culottes jetables, nous appliquons une morale sur mesure, et nous engageons des flirts sans lendemain. C’est l’époque des personnes obèses et des comprimés à tout faire, qui vous remontent le moral, vous apaisent et vous tuent.


C’est une époque où seule l’apparence compte au détriment du contenu. A notre époque on peu choisir de partager ce texte ou de le supprimer.


Souviens-toi, passe du temps avec tes proches, ils ne seront pas là éternellement. N’oublie pas de dire un mot gentil à quiconque te regarde avec admiration. Bientôt cet enfant pour qui tu es un héros sera devenu grand et vivra sa propre vie.
N’oublie pas de serrer dans tes bras les personnes que tu aimes, parce que c’est le seul trésor qui vienne du cœur et qui ne coûte rien.


N’oublie pas de dire je t’aime à ton partenaire et aux personnes qui comptent pour toi, mais surtout, dis-le avec sincérité.
On peut guérir n’importe quelle blessure en serrant quelqu’un contre soi, pourvu qu’on le fasse avec tendresse.


Souviens-toi de profiter du temps que tu as avec la personne que tu aimes, parce qu’un jour cette personne ne sera plus là.
Prends le temps d’aimer, prend le temps de parler et de partager tes pensées intimes. Et n’oublie jamais ceci :
La vie ne se mesure pas par le nombre de fois qu’on respire, mais par le nombre d’instants beaux à couper le souffle…

Abri de Esther Granek

Abri
Esther Granek
( Ballades et réflexions à ma façon, 1978 )

Dans les lignes de ta main
Pour me plaire j’y veux voir
Que rien ne nous sépare
Et qu’avons même destin.

Dans les lignes de ta main
Je découvre en cherchant
Les signes bienfaisants
De ce qui me convient.

Dans le creux de ta paume
Où ma main se blottit
Je retrouve mon abri
Doux et calme. Comme un baume.

Schöne Sprüche,Motivierende und inspirierende Zitate und Weisheiten für das leben.

Posted on 1:56 PM by Unknown

Rob Hefferan Art

Die Leute sagen oft, dass Motivation nicht lange anhält. Nun, auch das Baden hält nicht dauerhaft. Aus diesem Grund empfehlen wir es täglich!
Zig Ziglar

Eine gute Enzyklopädie enthält die meisten bekannten Fakten der Welt, aber sie sind so nutzlos wie Sanddünen bis sie nicht organisiert und in Form von Handlung zum Ausdruck kommen.
Napoleon Hill

Was vor uns liegt und was hinter uns liegt, sind Kleinigkeiten im Vergleich zu dem, was in uns liegt. Und wenn wir das, was in uns liegt, nach außen in die Welt tragen, geschehen Wunder.
Henry David Thoreau

In dieser Welt kommt es nicht so sehr darauf an, wo wir sind, sondern darauf, in welche Richtung wir uns bewegen.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Wenn Du der Einsamkeit begegnest, hab keine Angst. Es ist die beste Gelegenheit, mit sich selbst Freundschaft zu schließen.

Nichts bringt uns mehr vom Weg zum Glück ab, als dass wir uns nach dem Gerede der Leute richten, statt nach unseren Überzeugungen.
Seneca

Man soll alle Tage wenigstens ein kleines Lied hören, ein gutes Gedicht lesen, ein treffliches Gemälde sehen und, wenn es möglich zu machen wäre, einige vernünftige Worte sprechen.
Eigentlich weiß man nur,wenn man wenig weiß.
Mit dem Wissen wächst der Zweifel.

Freudvoll/ Und leidvoll,/ Gedankenvoll sein;/ Langen/ Und bangen/ In schwebender Pein,/ Himmelhoch jauchzend,/ Zum Tode betrübt,/ Glücklich allein/ Ist die Seele, die liebt.

Kein Segen kommt dem der Arbeit gleich,
und nur der Mensch, der sein ganzes Leben lang
mit Leib und Seele gearbeitet hat,
kann sagen: “Ich habe gelebt!”
Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Die wichtigste Stunde ist immer die Gegenwart. Der bedeutendste Mensch ist immer der, der dir gerade gegenübersteht. Das notwendigste Werk ist stets die Liebe.
Meister Eckhart

Wenn die Sonne nicht auf Lob und Bitten wartet, um aufzugehen, sondern eben leuchtet und von der ganzen Welt begrüßt wird, so darfst auch du weder Schmeichelei noch Beifall brauchen, um Gutes zu tun. Aus dir selbst heraus mußt du es tun: Dann wirst du wie die Sonne geliebt werden.
Epiktet

Khalil Gibran on Love & Marriage

Posted on 7:38 AM by Unknown
Music:
Secret Garden-Adagio


On Love
Khalil Gibran


Richard Johnson Art

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your
tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,So shall he descend
to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that
you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may
know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge
become a fragment of Life's heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace
and love's pleasure,Then it is better for you that you
cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not
all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart,"
but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love,
if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires,
let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings
its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks
for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your
heart and a song of praise upon your lips.


On Marriage
Khalil Gibran

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.


Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Philosophical quotes by Baruch Spinoza

Posted on 5:48 PM by Unknown

As men's habits of mind differ, so that some more readily embrace one form of faith, some another, for what moves one to pray may move another to scoff, I conclude ... that everyone should be free to choose for himself the foundations of his creed, and that faith should be judged only by its fruits; each would then obey God freely with his whole heart, while nothing would be publicly honoured save justice and charity.

Men would never be superstitious, if they could govern all their circumstances by set rules, or if they were always favoured by fortune: but being frequently driven into straits where rules are useless, and being often kept fluctuating pitiably between hope and fear by the uncertainty of fortune’s greedily coveted favours, they are consequently for the most part, very prone to credulity.

Surely human affairs would be far happier if the power in men to be silent were the same as that to speak. But experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues.

I refer those actions which work out the good of the agent to courage, and those which work out the good of others to nobility. Therefore temperance, sobriety, and presence of mind in danger, etc., are species of courage; but modesty, clemency, etc., are species of nobility.

The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.

Blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue itself; neither do we rejoice therein, because we control our lusts, but contrariwise, because we rejoice therein, we are able to control our lusts.

For peace is not mere absence of war, but is a virtue that springs from, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.

Be not astonished at new ideas; for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many.

The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.

I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

No matter how thin you slice it, there will always be two sides.

Enlarge my heart by George Appleton

Posted on 7:32 AM by Unknown

Enlarge my heart
George Appleton

Enlarge my heart, God,
to the dimensions of your heart,
O limitless Love.
Let nothing be thought
common or unclean
which thou hast cleansed.
Let no one be thought
too exalted, so that
I only respect
but do not love.
Let no one be regarded
as too humble, so that
I patronise or despise.
Let no one be thought
as of little value
and written off.
For each is dear to thee
with his own potential
and his own hope
and his own heartbreak.
Let me say to each with thee,
‘O man greatly beloved’
infinitely and eternally
dear to thee.
O Lord Love,
enlarge my heart
to the dimensions of thine.
