For the first time.

Guillaume Apollinaire once said: ''Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy''.

I don't want to talk about this quote, but just ask you a question, that might help you just to be happy:

- When was the last time you did something for the first time? -

I don't mean things like; buying THESE shirt for the first time, but like wirting a love letter, eating something new or doing bungee jumping for the first time. So stop doing your everyday stuff for the millionth time and START doing something for the very first time in your life! It's such an easy small step, by whom you can achieve so much. 

Ps: Keep record (a small book) of your 'first times' :) Just write them down and stick in a photo.

If not now, when?

It's a fact: Most of our time we live in the future. We think about how great our lifes are going to be in the future and what we will achieve.

 If you ask a high school student about his life goals or dreams, an answer could be' ''I want to have a family and a good job, so I get rich and have a really good life.'' - Okay, that's your dream. And what are you doing to realize it? The answer: ''Nothing. I'm to young. I have to go to school.''

-> But the truth is; if you have dreams, it's irresponsible to wait until the ''perfect moment'' for realizing your dreams comes. If you want to achieve something, you can't think about the great future but you have to do little steps now. Right now. If not now, when?

Music ♪

-'What makes out a perfect man? His Playlists.'

Not long ago I was reading a report about marriage. There was this couple, who was married for 23 years; and still would be married today, if the man wouldn't have died, cause she still keeps him in loving memory. When the interviewer asked about the secret of their everlasting love & good marriage by questioning her the quote above, her answer was: His Playlists. Then she told the interviewer about how she never felt happy with a man, who listened to music she doesn't like.

This question was just the introduction to the "real" interview, but still - as for me - the woman's answer was very thought-provoking.

I mean, I don't fully agree with her idea of THE right man - sometimes you don't like the same music, but you can still be very happy together. But the other side of the coin is that most people - if not all - listen to music, that somehow touches them in a way, either by the sound of the music or even by the lyrics (See quotes like: "Without music, without me" , "Music is my life" ..) . So when music is the sound of your soul and two people listen to the same music; maybe they hide the same desires?

Guess What? He hears you.

Some weeks ago I was surfing the net to find some nice Quotes ... searching searching searching I found this really short one:

-When you can't put your prayer into words, God hears your heart. -

And guess what?  Little things - like this short quote - often give solutions to big questions.. If you just think about it for a while, you'll see that. I mean, everybody knows the feeling of wanting to 'talk to god' but not feeling like doing it... maybe because of anger, laziness, happiness, whatever. Then hearing this quote may be like mercy coming over you. At least for me it is.
Just try it.. to remain silent in your prayer.

Right & Wrong

- Right is what feels good at the moment you're doing it. -
Really?
I think this is crap. I mean e.g. having sex with your ex boyfriend probably felt absolutely good at the moment; BEFORE you realised he's a dick, not worth your love & beautiful divine, by mother nature given, body.
The so called "moment" always makes you feel either totally right or totally wrong OR totally weird..
But most important thing is to have values in life -about right and wrong- to hold on to. BEFORE the famous "moment" surprises you. What are your values?

Introducing me..

My Name's Nicole and I'll tell you a lot of stuff; like I said I don't have a special talent, I'm just me. -

Sure I don't always invent all the things I say on my own, a lot of 'thoughts' are adapted from books, movies, people I know.. But for sure I feel what I say and I mean it.

- And if this isn't art, what is?

Lots of Love xoxo
