  Denk voor jezelf, bepaal je eigen pad In een wereld waar iedereen een mening heeft en waar stemmen van alle kanten op je afkomen, is er één kracht die niemand je kan afnemen: Think for yourself, make up your own mind. Hoe vaak wordt je verteld wat goed voor je is? Wat je moet doen, hoe je moet denken, welke keuzes het beste zijn? Maar de waarheid is dat niemand jouw pad zo goed kent als jijzelf. Niemand loopt in jouw schoenen, niemand voelt wat jij voelt. Dus waarom zou je blind varen op de koers van een ander? Think for yourself. Durf vragen te stellen. Durf te twijfelen. Durf af te wijken van de gebaande paden. Want echte vrijheid begint in je geest – in het vermogen om zelf te kiezen, om je eigen gedachten te vormen zonder dat iemand je voorschrijft wat je moet geloven. Make up your own mind. Niet omdat het makkelijk is, maar omdat het het enige is wat echt van jou is. Jouw gedachten, jouw waarheid, jouw leven. Laat niemand dat voor je invullen.

WEES EERST GOED VOOR JEZELF Neem jezelf niet zo serieus...lach eens wat vaker... Zie de humor van de dingen wat meer in. Je kunt het leven niet veranderen, doch het leven verandert vanzelf mits je er met een andere blik naar gaat kijken. Soms is het goed om de bril van perfectie af te zetten en de perfectie te zien in de dingen zoals ze zijn. Stop met dingen af te dwingen die niet afdwingbaar zijn. Voel je je in de steek gelaten? Niet gehoord? Projecteer je gevoelens van ongenoegen dan niet op de boodschapper of de andere partij in deze....maar richt je aandacht naar binnen. Datgene wat zich in je buitenwereld weerspiegelt, kan slechts bestaan doordat het resoneert met wat er inwendig in je speelt. Zoek de oplossing niet bij de ander doch in de sterke en liefdevolle kracht van je Ware Zelf. Ga wat meer tijd besteden aan de dingen die jou blij...écht blij en gelukkig maken en je zult zien dat de buitenwereld dan als vanzelf transformeert doordat er binnen in jou ook dingen veranderd zij...

The Château de Lichtenberg is a castle built on a singular prominence in the northern Vosges at the end of the village of Lichtenberg, Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. The castle was first mentioned in 1206 and is most well known as the home of the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg. It was left in ruins in 1870 after bombardment by Württemberg troops during the Franco-Prussian War, but was restored in the 1990s and is open to the public. History The castle is first mentioned in 1206, as home to the Lords of Lichtenberg. The Lichtenberg line passed to the Hanau family, who became the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg. In the late 16th century, Phillip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg hired Daniel Specklin, who had designed the fortifications of Strasbourg, to turn the castle into a fortress to use and protect against a new weapon: the cannon. In 1678, the castle capitulated to French troops after an eight-day siege. Like most of the castles in the Alsace region, it came under the contr...

Taitin is de kaart van mentale snelheid, aanpassingsvermogen en enthousiasme. Wanneer deze kaart opkomt dan is het meestal een aanzet om de dingen op een nieuwe, spannende manier te gaan zien. Er is een indicatie hier dat je oude (geloofs)overtuigingen en ideeën aan het loslaten bent. Een nieuwe onafhankelijk manier van denken zet zich nu aan. Nieuwe ideeën, of nieuwe versies van oude ideeën komen vrij en je voelt je psychische krachten ontwaken. Wel wordt hier gewaarschuwd dat je selectief moet zijn. Er komen vele nieuwe ideeën op je af en het is makkelijk om erin verdwaald te raken. Het is makkelijk om in de meest gekke en dwaze ideeën los te gaan. Behoed jezelf hiervoor. Wees er zeker van dat je geaard bent en dat je de extremen probeert te vermijden. Zo kun je helder blijven denken en een beter begrip hebben op wat er allemaal op je af komt.

What was it like to be a Serf? . In the Middle Ages, being a Serf, was only moderately better than being a peasant. While this line was often blurred in specific regions, there was a distinct difference between a free peasant and a serf. Serfs were bound to the land on which they lived, and they were the property of whoever owned the land. When the lord sold his land, the serfs were part of the purchase. Peasants were often just as poor as serfs, but they were not bound to the land and were able to live and move freely, so long as they paid their taxes in crops, money, or work. Serfs were given their own plot of land and their own personal quarters. It was generally understood that serfs did not own any of their possessions - they were property of the lord just as the serf was. As the land belonged to the lord, even the food that was harvested, also legally belonged to the lord. The serfs were responsible for building their own homes, and making their own clothing. Regulations on w...

Helen met de Engelen - Studie Je bent nu betrokken bij het proces van leren en studeren. Je engelen geven je de raad om tijd te nemen om te lezen, te luisteren en te groeien. De engelen zeggen tegen je: Deze kaart beklemtoont dat dit een belangrijke periode voor je is om nieuwe ideeen op te doen of nieuwe vaardigheden aan te leren. Als we in een fase zitten waarin we nieuwe dingen leren, willen we heel graag onze nieuwe kennis testen. In plaats van het leren zelf, willen we toepassen wat we hebben geleerd. Deze kaart raad je aan niet overhaast tot actie over te gaan. Geniet in plaats daarvan nu eerst van het leerproces zelf.

Herken je fout. Het maakt niet uit hoeveel het kost, aan je trots en ijdelheid. Rechtvaardig nooit het verkeerde.

THE SICHANGU (BURNT THIGH/BRULE) LAKOTA, HIGH BALD EAGLE c. 1941: High Bald Eagle was a 20-year old warrior in 1876 at Battle of the Greasy Grass (Little Big Horn). He was a follower of Crow Dog at the mother of all Indian Wars battle. A nephew of Chief Iron Shell Necklace and a cousin of Chief Spotted Tail, High Bald Eagle had an envious war record which included a great battle between the Sioux and Pawnees in August 1873. In it he counted two coups and took two Pawnee scalps. Counting coup was a higher honor than killing the enemy. “When I was born my father’s father saw a bald eagle flying way up in the sky and so named me ‘High Bald Eagle.'” – Rosebud Reservation 1941 Photo Courtesy~Pinterest/FacesofLittleBigHorn.

IDEALE GANG VAN ZAKEN...nieuwe plannen maken is zo gedaan. Nieuwe plannen waarheid maken is iets anders. Het lukt niet altijd zoals jij dat geplant had/gedacht had. Toch moet je door deze fase heen om het voor elkaar te krijgen. Het is de ideale gang van zaken. Deze fase moet je door om duidelijkheid te krijgen en niet te ontsporen...

  I’ll never forget my first year as a mom. The way the feelings came in waves that didn’t stop. The fears that made my chest tight. The insecurities that kept me up even when the baby finally slept. The way I kept wondering if I was doing any of it right. But somehow I still showed up every single day. Shaky hands. Tired eyes. A heart learning how to stretch in ways it never had to before. And the wild part is that none of it had to be perfect. Because to them, I was already everything they needed. So to the women stepping into motherhood for the very first time, take it slow. Be soft with yourself. Your world is about to shift in the best and hardest ways. You will find your rhythm. You will find your confidence. And one day you’ll look back and realize you were doing a beautiful job long before you believed it.  

Niets staat vast, niets is blijvend, en we moeten leren afscheid te nemen van de dingen die voorbijgaan. De tijd gaat voorbij en we veranderen met de tijd. Elke verandering is een afscheid van wie we vandaag zijn en... morgen niet meer zijn !

VLIEGEN. als je mag vliegen en je kijkt op jezelf neer...wat zie je dan? Kijk naar alle doelen die je al bereikt hebt. Wees trots op je harde werken want nu is het de tijd om beloond te worden. Je hebt hard gewerkt om voor elkaar te krijgen waar je nu bent. Dus vlieg ....samen met de engelen...wees trots.

  March 26, 1954, TV Guide cover featured Jackie Gleason.

The cover captured him at the height of his early TV success, often billed as “The Great One,” alongside the popular June Taylor Dancers, a regular part of his variety series. This issue came during the first full year of TV Guide, which had launched nationally in 1953 and was still establishing itself as a staple of American households. Like all early issues, it featured regional program listings in addition to national television highlights. During this period, Gleason’s show also included the early sketch version of The Honeymooners, which would later evolve into the classic standalone sitcom the following year.

  Soms voelt het alsof je te veel bent. Alsof je woorden verkeerd vallen. Alsof je liefde verkeerd begrepen wordt. Maar dat zegt niets over jou. Jij deed het met je hart. Je was echt, open, zuiver. Twijfel niet aan jezelf. Laat los wie je niet kan ontvangen. Laat gaan wie je niet wil horen. Niet uit boosheid, maar uit zelfliefde. Je hoeft niet te vechten voor begrip. Je hoeft alleen trouw te blijven aan wie jij bent. Dat is genoeg. Altijd al geweest.

OLIFANT... als de olifant zich aandient, trompettert hij luid. Met veel geluid wil hij aangeven dat we even moeten onthaasten. We zijn zo druk met de uiterlijke kant van ons leven dat we ons innerlijke kant vergeten. Nu is het het moment om even tot onszelf te komen. Aanvaardt je gevoel van vrijheid en doorbreek maar de grenzen tussen ons en anderen. Dan zal je merken hoeveel geluk er bij je is. Normaal loop je daaraan voorbij....

  March 25, 1983, Michael Jackson debuted his signature move, the Moonwalk, on television. The moment came during a performance of “Billie Jean” on the NBC special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever. Although the special was taped earlier, it aired on this date and stunned audiences, with Jackson appearing to glide backward across the stage in a way that seemed almost unreal. The performance instantly became one of the most talked-about moments in television and music history. Jackson had refined the move from earlier street and dance styles, but his presentation brought it to a global audience and made it forever associated with his name.

The series followed their comedic culture clashes as Balki, a naïve immigrant from the fictional island of Mypos, adjusted to life in America. After a short six-episode first season in spring 1986, the show found lasting success when it moved to Friday nights, becoming a cornerstone of ABC’s popular TGIF lineup. Its blend of physical comedy, heartfelt moments, and catchphrases made it a fan favorite throughout its run. Perfect Strangers aired for eight seasons, concluding on August 6, 1993, and remains a memorable part of 1980s and early 1990s television.

The series evolved from a made-for-TV movie and went through early casting changes, including performances by Loretta Swit and Meg Foster before Sharon Gless took on the role of Cagney for the majority of the run.

The Monkees—featuring Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork—were created in 1965 by producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider for a television sitcom inspired by the success of The Beatles. The series blended comedy, music, and a fast-paced visual style that anticipated the modern music video. While initially criticized as a manufactured group—with early recordings relying on session players like the Wrecking Crew—the band fought for and gained creative control of their music in 1967. At their peak, the Monkees were among the biggest acts in the world, earning four consecutive No. 1 albums—The Monkees, More of the Monkees, Headquarters, and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.—along with three No. 1 singles: “Last Train to Clarksville,” “I’m a Believer,” and “Daydream Belie...
