Daarmee is het einde van dit bulletin alweer in zicht. Om af te sluiten nog enkele leuke, geinige en/of inspirerende zaken van het moment.
Sfeer van het moment
Voor de sfeer van het moment grijp ik graag naar een uitspraak van Oprah die zij deed in The Daily Show, n.a.v. de vraag: “What would you say is the one common characteristic that gets people to where they want to go?”.
Ja, het antwoord vind je misschien cheesy, coachy, corny, cliché of zelfs cringe-worthy; maar uiteindelijk is dit wel waar het IMHO om draait.
Oprah: “People get to where they want to go, because they know where they want to go. Most people don’t know where they want to go. A lot of people are being driven by what they think they should do... What other people say they should do... What they have carried in their mind for a long time they should do...
But the most important question you can ever ask yourself is: what do I really want?
And once you can establish for yourself what the answer to that is and have everything you do, every choice you make, move you in the direction of what you say your vision is... Well, when you do that, the forces of life rise up to meet you. The reason why most people have chaotic lifes is because they are living in chaos in their head. As soon as you get clear, it clears up.”
Als we dan toch aan het quoten zijn
Een andere uitspraak die ik in de afgelopen periode erg kon waarderen komt van beeldhouwer en installatiekunstenaar Nancy Rubins.
“The only advice I could give any artist is just to make the work. And the work will lead to more work. And you’ll figure things out for yourself through doing that work."
Simpel, bescheiden, maar heel waardevol. Je vindt 'm hier.
Tot zover! Hou je taai.
En misschien tot snel.
