It`s all about the perspective…

It can be the same landscape, but depending on the window we look through, it may look quite different… An old wisdom but it`s nice to remind oneself about it from time to time :)

I am proud of my princesses!

 photo by axinia

They used to be green, immature cherries: growing wild and uncertain, knowing nothing of themselves, desperately looking for happiness and love…

They used to be simple pretty girls till one day they became aware of their royal dignity and female powers.

They found out that actually every one of them is nothing less than a princess: good hearted, beautiful, generous, loving and forgiving.

Today they are shining like these fresh jolly cherries on the picture, with the most beautiful colors of life: glowing eyes, beaming faces, open hearts, lovely dresses, gorgeous smiles…

Who will not recognise princesses in them immediately? Continue reading ‘I am proud of my princesses!’

Blog credibility (German Blog Study 2007)

 photo by axinia

Coming back to the German Blogs Study 2007 I quoted some days back, there is some more interesting information on blogs.

What kind of blogs get the highest credibility?

  • The Study shows that the least credible are the corporate blogs (26,4% do not trust their content)
  • Only 12,1% do not trust the content of privat blogs
  • Media- and journalists` blogs are highly credible (from 4 to 7% blog-useres do not trust them)
  • But the top-credibility prise goes to the expert-blogs (only 2.1% do not trust them!)

Unfortunately the Study does not differentiate privat blogs with adSence and without, I am sure there will be some difference in Ranking. Continue reading ‘Blog credibility (German Blog Study 2007)’

I keep falling in love… with everyone!

 photo: axinia

I do, really!

Every new person I learn a little more - just can not help falling in love with. No matter, man or woman, old person or a child…

The fragrance of every personality is so intense, so amazing and colorful that it is hard to feel less than love!

  • I love the way a person gets angry (because I find it humorous)
  • I love the way a person shows the sweetness
  • I love the moments when it comes to the core values and the person reveals hidden or obvious beauty of his/her soul
  • I love the way people are trying to withstand the power of love and then give up following it
  • I love the way people jump into the ocean of love - fearful or fearless, curious or trusting
  • I love watching human beings becoming divine

It could be the case that I only meet such lovable people, the ones who are easy to love. But I meet so so many! - Is it all by chance?

Dedicated to everyone I know.

LOVE, axinia

Freedom is Ego

 photo by axinia

Freedom is the favorite mantra of the western society. It is the magical word people use left and right to explain their most odd interests and ideas. Freedom is on top of the value system. But how can anybody be free and make choices based on so called freedom when he does not know himself??

We feel that we are free to make our choices: the choice between toast or sandwich or maybe the choice between pizza or pasta. Fine.

Now the clothing: how can we be free persons if we are actually forced to buy the things that are right now in, otherwise we just don`t get anything else in the shops.

No need to mention so called political freedom when every President selections our poor brains are being manipulated to such extend that God save us from knowing it in details!

However, the worst type of freedom today is the freedom to lead an immoral life. You can marry one person, sleep with another, flirt with the third and make children with the forth. This crazy idea comes from the notion that you always have to be looking for something new. Continue reading ‘Freedom is Ego’

If you need love…

 photo by axinia

People always need something: attention, pleasure, money, love… Some fight for that. Some work hard. Some just wait for these things to come.

There is nothing much new in what I am going to tell you now, but it could be a good reminder.

Whatever we desire (appreciation, power, money) it is finally all about getting LOVE. Everything else is just the instrument or the means.

BUT HOW TO GET LOVE?

I remember reading one very wise quotation- could not find the source then - that says something like that:

IF YOU NEED LOVE, GIVE LOVE AND YOU WILL FIND LOVE.

As easy as that. Have you ever tried it out?

In fact, it can be applied to any other “needs”:

If you need money - support with the little you have the one who needs it more.

If you need appreciation - praise people!

If you need power - use the power of love!

I believe many people do function this way and follow this rule, if not consciously than unconsciously.

Are you one of them?

LOVE, axinia

JOY, BEAUTY, ETERNITY…

 photo by vova

This is a kind of a self-portrait.

Filling up a form for an intellctual discussion club BIZZLOUNGE I was confronted with a task to shortly describe philosophy of my life in one sentence.

Not an easy task! What expesses my life-phylosophy the most?

Suddenly it strock my head: it is so simple!

I put it in 3 words: JOY, BEAUTY, ETERNITY…

And YOUR life-sentence?

LOVE;

Why I almost never watch films

 photo: chandkipari

We like something because we can identify ourselves with it.

I remember some years ago the hype about “Star wars” - I could not understand why I did not really like the film until I realised I could not actually identify myself with any character in there. Strangely enough, as in “Matrix” (similar stuff) I could identify myself even with two characters!

I go to see a movie once in 2 years. I have a TV at home, but I watch it once in a month (information and news Ii get - of course! - from Internet).

Yesterday I had some time and decided to see a film - why not, after all? Actually I saw even two and finally realised why I do it so seldom. Continue reading ‘Why I almost never watch films’

Visit the Sick

 

photo axinia

 

Visit the sick, and you will heal yourself.

The ill person may be a Sufi master,

And your kindness will be repaid in wisdom.

Even if the sick person is your enemy,

You will still benefit,

For kindness has the power to transform

Sworn enemies into firm friends.

And if there is no healing of bad feeling,

There certainly will be less ill will,

Because kindness is the greatest of all balms.

New member in our princess club

 photo Sagespot

Yesterday our exclusive Princess Club has got a new member and now we are 5!

The idea of a Princess Club stroke our pretty heads 3 years ago. Nobody knows for sure, but probably it has started with the poems one admirer was writing to one of us. Being happily married, she was confused at first but then she said “So what, I am a princess after all, and people dedicate poems to princesses!”

Her and me, we realised that actually there is something important about being a princess and we decided to found a club. We met with another girl who was of a same kind as we are and together we composed the statutes of the Club.

Shortly after I met my future husband who was not thinking of marriage until 30 (which is sort of late in his country). The reason was he only wanted to marry a princess but could not find any. After he saw me he knew I am the one ;) How did he know?

EVERY WOMAN IS A PRINCESS, but she must be aware of that! The statutes of our Club say: Continue reading ‘New member in our princess club’
