How to Live a Better Life with Less

Have less. If you learn that enjoyment of life isn’t having stuff, you’ll be able to let go of it … and declutter. Having a life with a minimal amount of clutter is so enjoyable, so peaceful, it’s hard to describe. It leaves you feeling free, without the stress that comes with an overwhelming amount of stuff, and leaves room in your life for relaxation. Less of a focus on buying stuff means you also have more money, or less debt, or you need to work less in order to live the life you want. Any of those options are good.

Thought Provoking

Today, I was working in a coffee shop when 2 gay men walked in holding hands.  As you might expect, heads started turning.  Then a young girl at the table next to me asked her mom why 2 men were holding hands.  Her mom replied, “Because they love each other.”

Letting things take their course

Rushing into action, you fail.
Trying to grasp things, you lose them.
Forcing a project to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe.
Therefore the Master takes action by letting things take their course.

Lao Tzu

Hapiness

Happiness, we do not find it, we make it.
Happiness does not depend on what we lack, but how we use what we have.

Arnaud Desjardins

Blinda Carlisle - La Luna

Your nature is the buddha

To find a buddha all you have to do is see your nature.
Your nature is the buddha.
And the buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares.
If you don't see your nature and run around all day looking somewhere else, you'll never find a buddha.

Silver Rust

There's reason behind this
Rewind to the first kiss and wonder lust
Look back as we all must
And almost cry out pixie dust
As I keep dreaming
Of lost days when my spirit was robust
Back then I was stirring
But I've learned all silver one day rusts

Union of Knives - Opposite Direction

Get ready for your wit, get ready for your want

Do you want, do you wanna know
How deep how quick your cuts go
Everything poured on black ice,
Squeezing citrus fruit in my eyes.
How do we how do we mix friends?
How do we get the pegs
Into the holes that they wanna go?
How do we share everything we’ve ever known ever known is now?

We keep ourselves moving
In opposite directions
Go, go
In the opposite direction

Get ready for your wit, get ready for your want

Good Point! :) [Harvey Feirstein]

Moment of Clarity

I am at ease and clear with myself.
It does not matter where or with whom I am.
My clarity and ease of being are always present in me.
My happiness does not depend on anything outside.

Memórias de calor.

Mais um dia de Verão quente se avizinha, e sou levado a revisitar memórias de calor não só físico mas principalmente humano. Tempos passados no Algarve em família.

Bons momentos.

Programming

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Judge

Nobody has the right to judge anybody, negatively or positively. These
are the ways of dominating people. When you judge someone you are
trying to interfere in his life, which is not your business.

A real, authentic man simply allows people to be themselves.

Barbara - Si La Photo Est Bonne

Si la photo est bonne,
Juste en deuxième colonne,
Y a le voyou du jour,
Qui a une petite gueule d'amour,
Dans la rubrique du vice,
Y a l'assassin de service,
Qui n'a pas du tout l'air méchant,
Qui a plutôt l'œil intéressant,
Coupable ou non coupable,
S'il doit se mettre à table,
Que j'aimerais qu'il vienne,
Pour se mettre à la mienne,

Si la photo est bonne,
Il est bien de sa personne,
N'a pas plus l'air d'un assassin,
Que le fils de mon voisin,
Ce gibier de potence,
Pas sorti de l'enfance,
Va faire sa dernière prière,
Pour avoir trop aimé sa mère,
Bref, on va prendre un malheureux,
Qui avait le cœur trop généreux,

Moi qui suis femme de président,
J'en ai pas moins de cœur pour autant,
De voir tomber des têtes,
A la fin, ça m'embête,
Et mon mari, le président,
Qui m'aime bien, qui m'aime tant,
Quand j'ai le cœur qui flanche,
Tripote la balance,

Si la photo est bonne,
Qu'on m'amène ce jeune homme,
Ce fils de rien, ce tout et pire,
Cette crapule au doux sourire,
Ce grand gars au cœur tendre,
Qu'on n'a pas su comprendre,
Je sens que je vais le conduire,
Sur le chemin du repentir,
Pour l'avenir de la France,
Contre la délinquance,
C'est bon, je fais le premier geste,
Que la justice fasse le reste,
Surtout qu'il soit fidèle,
Surtout, je vous rappelle,
A l'image de son portrait,
Qu'ils se ressemblent trait pour trait,
C'est mon ultime condition,
Pour lui accorder mon pardon,

Qu'on m'amène ce jeune homme,
Si la photo est bonne,
Si la photo est bonne...

Undress Me Now

Using your mind
Imagine our skin
Joined at the hip
Joined from within
By using your eyes
You're freezing my frame
Watching our clothes burst into flames

Undress Me Now - Morcheeba

Responsibility

You are responsible for your destiny. You need to know that you are carrying cause and effect on your shoulders all the time. No matter how powerful a king may be, he is under this law. Each word you speak and each word you think will fall back to you.

The Perfect Curve

Sleeps With Buttlerflies

Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy
