This image is not mine, I don’t own the rights and don’t know who made it. But I’d like to thank the person who did because I love it! Such an amazing visualization of ‘the impossible made possible’. Ok sure, taking a plunge in the asphalt may be a long shot, but in general: no matter how tough the situation, no matter how big the challenge: you can find the recourses to deal with it. If not now, then later. Who says you can’t? Who are they? Do they control your life? Do they possess the wisdom to know exactly what you’re capable of? True, they may have the authority, the power or the experience, but in the end: they are not you. So unless you tell yourself you can’t, you can.
focusNjoy #121: Laugh!
Laughing is fun, free and healthy. It lowers your stress levels and strengthens your immune system. And did you know six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day and adults only 15 to 100 times? Makes you think right? No wonder grown-ups risk getting all stressed out! Lets all laugh more!
focusNjoy #120: You learn more having a truly open mind
Education is a means to ‘survive’ in modern society. It gives us a frame of reference to which we all can relate. When we look closer into this frame of reference, it turns out to be a collection of rules and patterns, and modes of thinking – more or less presented like certainties on which we can build our realities. Paradoxically, in order to learn we need do let go of certainties. To make new discoveries and to gain revolutionary insights we need “think out of the box” and leave the certainties our education gave us. And is exactly that – forgetting what we know – what makes it hard to learn.
