Happy New Year

… may our humanity beautify and experience ecstasy in knowledge and light in 2008 .. I wish everyone pure love ..
An insightful book I just finished, “it’s not how good your are, it’s how good you want to be” by Paul Arden, has beautiful advice from his own experience on how to be better .. I want to share some of these passages with everyone:
The past is … out of date .. Opposite of originality … always keep moving forward .. Let go of your ego - It’s right to be wrong. Being right may be like walking backwards proving where you’ve been. Being wrong isn’t in the future or in the past. Being wrong isn’t anywhere but being here. The best place to be.
Get unblocked .. Lose your inhibitions and stop worrying about being right ..
If we don’t get lost, we’ll never find a new route … Make your vision of where you want to be a reality.
Ideas are open knowledge. Don’t claim ownership. They’re not your ideas anyway, they’re someone else’s. they are out there floating by on ether ..
.. High creativity is responding to situations without critical thought (playfulness)
… and on that note, on being playful … always stay playful … as our children .. And from another book I received from my beautiful friends, “The Daring Book for Girls” .. something fun I can’t wait to play is ‘Amoeba Tag’ - one person is It. But instead of being able to tag someone and no longer be It, the person who is tagged then has to link arm with the tagged, the link of taggers grow, looking like an amoeba .. doesn’t that sound fun? .. looking forward to trying this game out with friends and strangers at Vondel park soon …
Happy New Year lovely beings!!
