Let’s start this new year on a very positive note! Allereerst wil ik natuurlijk zeggen: gelukkig nieuwjaar allemaal! MEGA bedankt dat ik jou ook in dit nieuwe jaar mag verwelkomen op Healthy Wanderlust. Zullen we er samen een mooi, liefdevol, gelukkig en gezond jaar van maken? Om meteen goed van start te gaan wil ik dit mooie zelfliefde gedicht met jou delen. Geschreven door Charlie Chaplin (1899-1977). Hij schreef dit gedicht in 1959 op zijn 70ste verjaardag. Een hele tijd geleden dus, maar de krachtige boodschap die hij toen zo mooi op papier schreef is op de dag van vandaag misschien wel nog belangrijker. Lees je mee?
EEN ZELFLIEFDE GEDICHT MET EEN KRACHTIGE BOODSCHAP
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
as 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 steeling 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 worry
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”!
