Climb the mountain

If you were to climb the highest mountain, how would  you do it? Would you use handy instruments and shortcuts? Would you just walk up? Maybe take a little break once in a while? Would you rather take a plane up? The way up is paved with good intentions, you first need to start, this seems like something most people don’t even do. You might use many things that you find helpful, but they shouldn’t become crutches for you to lean upon. If they fall away you’re pretty much lost. You’ll experience a setback here and there, but you shouldn’t be discouraged by that. Those little ‘bad’ things are an opportunity to rise back up bigger and higher, because that’s what will happen if you don’t give up.

 

When you reach the point on which you feel like it would be much better to give up, you absolutely shouldn’t. It’s exactly that moment that you have to pass in order to achieve bigger successes and those moments will pop up again certainly. All these challenges make you stronger and hopefully better too. Remember to climb your own mountain, don’t go for the paved path that someone else has walked, that’s simply not the way it works. Start climbing and keep climbing, in your own way, it’ll make you more authentic too.

No more violence

It’s just too easy to use violence. Usually people start off with some good old scolding which then progresses into physical agression, it happens every day. We must recognize what causes people to act the way they do. A person might have to cope with great stress at work, but he doesn’t know how to handle it. Thus he gets it out of his system by punching someone in the eye. Now he can relax for a while. Certainly there is always a cause, sometimes clear, sometimes hidden. We must realize that our reaction to these causes doesn’t have to be violent at all. Violence and agression is always a choice, unless you have some kind of disorder. You might traumatize someone by beating them up, but you will hurt yourself in a more subtle, but equally harmful way. There is a deep sense of calm within you, reach out to that point.

It’s better than you think

If you’re going through a difficult time, it’s good to remember that life isn’t as bad as it seems in that moment. Life is better than you think, you even control most of it. You’re the most important person in your life, act like it. It’s only going to get better from now on.

Input/output, AC/DC

You have always been curious, learning all those great things. Reading those randomly interesting books like they’re the next best thing. I certainly could not pretend, you’re like one of those owls with glasses. Every word is a victory, you believed it and that’s what made it true. It’s about taking that wisdom you gained from those words and pouring that into the sentences you write. Your brains are like a converter, if you put something good in, good ideas will come out of you. If you’re feeded negative rubbish, you and other people will have to cope with the bad results.

Don’t do it

Whatever finds it’s way to my heart, I know I’ll have to accept it to make it a part of me. If something ‘bad’ happens, don’t let it into your heart. When you hear all those people whining over trivial things, do not participate, it’ll only make you less happy and at peace.

Being an asshole isn’t cool, having a huge ego isn’t gonna make you better than the rest. Being kind and relaxed does everyone of us a big favor. Laughing at someone because they’re different is just plain ignorant. Bullying someone because  your so insecure about yourself is even worse. Get up by pushing other people down, now that’s a bad attitude. Don’t lose your common sense people. Choose to be different, it’s not because people react to it strangely that you’re not doing the right thing! Be yourself, the best version preferably!

Alternatives to sitting

Apparently sitting is really bad for your health, so I thought I’d list some alternatives to sitting at your desk.

1) A standing desk 

Now you can do your work standing up, much better for your back!

2) A treadmill desk 

Have a walk while you work. These are very expensive though.

3) A sitting ball

Apart from looking hilarious this is a nice alternative to a regular chair. Warning: You need to have some good balance to just start off with these.

 

 

The lottery ticket

James was convinced this would be the end of all his worries. No more bills to pay, the end of working his 9-5 job. He had the idea of moving somewhere else and just spend his life relaxing, doing the things he loves. He was so excited, he told his family and best friends about this amazing event. He’d share his money with them so they can enjoy life more too. He saw it as his key to a life full of joy. Finally it became Monday, the day he got to cash in. Proudly he got into his car and drove all the way to the lottery headquarters, smiling constantly. James get’s out of the car, finally, he has arrived. A strong wind is blowing, there goes his lottery ticket, no chance of retrieving that. James is plunged into despair as this happens, his dream shattered by a gust of wind, how unfortunate. After a period of struggle, he gets the insight that he can just build a successful for himself by starting a company or doing something innovative. So he proceeds to build his new life step by step and he becomes a multimillionaire. Money that gets handed to you is really nice, but if you can make it yourself, you’ve really made it. If you just receive it you most likely won’t know how to deal with it.   

7 Signs it’s time to take a bath

1) Let’s start with an obvious one. You can smell yourself with actually having to keep your nose close to your armpits.

2) When people prefer to avoid sitting next to you on public transport, if they wanted to sit next to someone who doesn’t shower they’d take the pubic transport instead.

3) When you start a conversation with someone and instantly they become very eager to make excuses to leave.

4) When people look disgusted when you pass.

5) When you’re preparing for a nice party, go ahead enjoy a bath!

6) When the homeless think you smell bad.

7) When people ask you to be in deodorant commercials to star as the guy that doesn’t look after himself. 

Beauty

Beauty crowds me till I die. I am surrounded by it. These wonderful trees with their dark green leaves, these cute animals. Just going about their lives, not a worry that haunts them. The people that are kind to each other, those that care for others. Those who do good deeds with a noble goal in mind. The friends and family that motivate you and are always there for you. The teachers that want to make you learn in every way possible. Even the people that you don’t like, there is beauty in them, you just need to look for it. That is something that makes me quite happy.
