When I read this quote, I thought: this is spot on!!!

That’s exactly what I believe in!

Only an open mind

sees things,

appreciates things,

learns things,

looks forward, not backwards,

….

People are scared of the unknown.

In Dutch we say: “ onbekend is onbemind.

So learn, explore, travel, read, …

That’s my appeal to you all:

Open your minds, learn, be tolerant, be open, be humble.

How can you do this?

– Learn something new

– Kill the TV for one week and read a good book

– Try a new recipe

– Actually look around you and see the people, the birds, nature, the sun, …

– Talk to people and actually listen to their story!

– Smile when you buy your bread, when you take the bus, when you enter a shop,….and you’ll be amazed by their reactions!

– Think before you mindlessly start doing something out of habit:

Do I really want, need to do this?

What would make me more happy: doing this or not doing this?

Be mindful, be present and you’ll get the best present ever:

A happy, peaceful evening, day, weekend, ….life!!!

Enjoy!!!!

Love you all for reading me!
