Every day can be a party!

Every day can be a party, when you can dance on the tears of sorrow.
Every day is a party when you can be in the now moment.
Every day is a party when you can appreciate the simple things in life.
When you wake up in the morning, can you look at yourself, with honesty, in the mirror, valuing what you are and what you have in your life?
Even when you are ‘no thing’ or ‘some one’, is it not enough to know that you just exist? 

If you don’t need a reason to throw a party, then why do you need a reason to celebrate your life? 
You don’t need so much to start your party every single day. 

Every day is a party when you see the comedy in every tragedy, because even in  the most painful life-experiences there hides a little joke.
Every day is a party when you allow yourself to see what you already have, instead of denying yourself this pleasure.
Maybe you don’t have much, but when you can celebrate ‘not having so much, which is still something, the party can begin.

Maybe you only have a roof above your head, then set that roof on fire, so that everyone knows you are celebrating life.

The Old vs. New… Past, Future, NOW!

The ‘old’ doesn’t trust the new.
It resists change and is suspicious of the new. It is in the nature of the ‘old’ that it starts to doubt the ‘new’. It doesn’t know the ‘new’ yet because it’s old. The old likes the old way… Period.
It does not know any better.
But when the ‘new’ wants to arise. The old has to make way for the new.
But because of the fear of ‘what is coming’, The old does not give up without a good old fight.
The ‘now moment’ is like a protective shield that brings you as safe as possible from the old to the new. Be aware: The ‘old’ tries to drag you back in the ‘good old times’.
From time to time, the old, will succeed in its attempts.
The old uses tricks and temptation to hold you back in old comfortable ways.
Like a baby that wants to be born, the new can not resist to come forward and grow. The new has no other option. And the only way to come forwards is when the ‘old’ makes space.
When change comes, it hurts like hell.
The pain is in the uncertainty of the new and in the boredom of the old. The new pushes from the inside, it wants to make way for the future. The old attacks you from the outside and keeps you captive in the past behaviour,thoughts,emotions, etc. When you are in the now, both the past and the future are coming to seduce you. The past is so comfortable, because that is what you know to be. The future calls for adventure, that can be exciting and scary at the same time! Both are necessary and only the right amount of balance between the two allows for a safe passage over the bridge between the old to the new.
In the end, the new is inevitable… it is a rule of life. But it usually won’t come without chaos from the old, that is screaming to be acknowledged by the new. Only in this way, the new can start fresh and pure.
Overtime the ‘new’ becomes the ‘old’ as the future one day will become the past. But right ‘NOW’ is actually all that we need. Relax in the knowing that the new will bring forth exciting new opportunities, new ways of learning, of living life in it’s full spectrum. It is all about learning to trust. The old has served us in wonderful ways, but is not anymore. And it’s time to surrender to the ‘new’ that comes through the now.
