Either way, you always win

This refers to a quote by Byron Katie that I came across on a tear-off calendar. She says “winning is winning and losing is winning.” A remarkable statement that can feel a bit awkward and illogical. She says that life is always a win-win situation because, according to her, the universe doesn’t make mistakes, even […]

Ups and downs

They sometimes say that a picture says more than a thousand words. That is certainly true of this video.

How time flies

Lately I’ve been feeling like time is slipping through my hands. It is not ticking…it is flowing Joke Hermsen once said, time has two faces. And that is exactly how I experience it.

Beautifully said that you can be dangerous but you have to control that to be good. That is real strength. Every fighter knows that, but you can use that capacity just as well in everyday life.

The new way to see life
