Charlie Chaplin – as I began to love myself
As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.
As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.
As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”.
As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.
As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.
As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.
As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.
As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.
As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.
We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”!

Non permettere a te stesso di cadere nella trappola del dolore e della sofferenza.
Se ti senti non amato o tradito da qualcuno, non cadere nell'abisso per questo motivo.
Tutto l'universo ti ama, l’energia ti ama, così è, anche se ora non riesci a sentire questo amore che è già dentro di te.
Smetti di cercare fuori, non troverai quello che cerchi
Soffri perché cerchi negli altri, ciò che devi imparare a darti da solo.
AMATI
Non ti completi con un altro, ma con te stesso e con l’energia che ti circonda.
Quando sarai completo, non incontrerai o attrarrai più certe situazioni di dolore e sofferenza, non ti serviranno più.
La pace e l’amore saranno sempre nel tuo cuore.

Dorotea G.P.

Don’t let you fall into the trap of pain

Don’t let you fall into the trap of pain and suffering.
If you feel unloved or betrayed by someone, do not fall into the abyss for this reason.
All the universe loves you, energy loves you, so it is, even if now you can not feel this love that is already in you.
Stop looking outside, you will not find what you are looking for
You are suffering because you’re asking someone else what you shall learn to get by yourself.
LOVE YOURSELF
You are not filling yourself with someone, but with yourself and the energy that surrounds you.
When you're full, you’ll never meet or attract situations of pain and suffering, you do not deserve them anymore.
Peace and love will always be in your heart.

Sai cosa si fa quando non se ne può più?

Si cambia.

We change.

Perché prima o poi dimentichi il profumo svanito degli amori finiti.

Quel che rimane è l’odore pungente del mai vissuto.

È il pensiero di aver avuto accanto la felicità e di essersela lasciata sfuggire dalle mani, per gli occhi avvelenati sempre da ieri e mai dissetati da nuovi domani_

(Massimo Bisotti)

No matter what is in the present moment,

Accept it as if you had chosen it.

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything." It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

Feeling good about yourself:

Feeling good about yourself is an arrival point, but first of all you shall ask yourself: who am I? And when I answer: I am a part of the Universe, a cell of a wonderful body, a grain of sand, I’m not here by accident, then you have done the most.

Cancer is a natural phenomenon you can live with and it can heal itself. It’s confirmed by a Swiss research
By Edward Campbell - Posted on January 4, 2014

What if you could live with cancer?
The question sounds provocative, but the answer is fascinating: yes, you can.
Do you want evidence of it?

During the 8th National Congress of homeopathic medicine in Verona (1) , held in November 2008 , results were presented of autopsies performed in Switzerland on corpses of dead people not for disease - for example, in a car accident - and the results proved that many of them had one or more tumors, but they did not know they have them.
This specific investigation revealed something shocking :

38% of women (between 40 and 50 years old) had a breast tumor (in situ);
48% of men over the age of 50 had a tumor (in situ ) to the prostate;
100 % of women and men over the age of 50 had a tumor (in situ) to the thyroid.
A tumor in situ means a closed carcinoma, locked in his capsule, non-invasive, which can remain in this stage for a long time and even regress.

The clinical and social psychologist Luigi De Marchi, author of numerous essays known internationally, also confirms that cancer is not necessary lethal: "It isn’t odd that, in the autopsies on the bodies of the old farmers living in our most remote valleys, I found tumors naturally regressed and neutralised by the body itself: they are all people who were healed by one of their tumors and then they died for other reasons totally independent from any tumor pathology. "

 Sarebbe bello, con le persone a noi più care, cogliere l'occasione di ogni Natale per fare il punto sulla nostra vita:

Cosa mi ha insegnato la vita quest'anno?
Sono diventata più forte o più debole?
Vedo ancora i problemi con gli stessi occhi dello scorso anno? O forse alcuni sono diventati più leggeri e altri più pesanti?
C'è stato in particolare qualcosa che mi ha stra-volto (volto altrove) lo sguardo? E se c'è stato, ne ho avuto paura e l'ho messo sotto il cuscino, o ne ho fatto un motore che mi sta portando verso nuovi lidi?

Pensa che dono grande sarebbe se ragionassimo sulle nostre vite ad alta voce tutti insieme... Ogni esperienza diventerebbe ricchezza per gli altri.

Questo per me dovrebbe essere il Natale. Occasione di confronto con se stessi in primis, con gli altri poi, per consapevolizzare i risultati raggiunti e ripartire, rinascere, con obiettivi sempre più evoluti.

Buon Natale a tutti,
di cuore!

It would be nice if we take the opportunity of every Christmas, to take stock of our lives with the people we are close to:

What has life taught me this year?
Am I stronger or weaker?
Am I still seeing problems with the last year eyes? Or maybe are some of them lighter and some other heavier now?
Did anything overturned me (turned my gaze over)? And if it’s so, does it scared me and I hided it under the pillow, or I made it an engine that is now taking me to new shores?

Imagine what a great gift would be if we think about our lives out loud and all together ... Any experience would become a value for the others.

This should be Christmas for me. An opportunity for discussion with yourself first, then with the other, to empower the achievements and start again, reborn, with more and more advanced goals.

Merry Christmas to all,
With love!

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
