It’s as if, having left the house for a walk, you suddenly find yourself in a curved space-time - and find yourself in the cockpit of a dive bomber. And there is nothing more. No visits to the dentist scheduled for a week on the calendar. No problems piling up on the table awaiting your arrival. Not all of these public relations", from which you risk not getting out for the rest of your life. No false friendliness on the face to gain the trust of others... I just send all this to hell for a while. All that remains are these old tennis shoes with worn out soles. Only them - and nothing else. They have already grown firmly to my feet - scraps of unclear memories from another space-time. Well, it's not scary anymore. Such memories are easily banished by a couple of beers and a ham sandwich. © Haruki Murakami

Do it sincerely - not because you are looking for personal gain, but because You really want the other person to have it all - and everything that You gave will come to You.Why is that? How it works? The very act of giving makes You feel that You have, that You have something to give. Since You cannot give away what You do not have, Your mind comes to a new conclusion, a New Thought about You, namely: You have something, otherwise You could not give it away. This New Thought becomes part of Your Life Experience. You begin to “be” like this. And once You begin to “be,” You activate the most powerful machine of creation in the Universe - Your Divine Self. © Neil Donald Walsh

  • The window of the carriage is the main entertainment for the traveler. In it, as in a kaleidoscope, stops, villages, forests flash by, bridges fly by under the metal whistle of riveted beams, fields open up, changing their color from white to black and from green to yellow.

In motion, everything seems so cute and a little toy-like, as if it weren’t real. Looking out the window, the passenger becomes a little child, discovering with surprise how huge the world is, how much space and air there is in it, and not just the usual streets and houses.

There is a secret charm in the carriage window, when you look at the lullaby rocking of the wheels and do not hold your gaze on anything. The pictures fly by, as if blurred by a brush, and from this measured movement and constant change of impressions you plunge into a light drowsiness in reality, and thoughts come to your mind by themselves and just as easily disappear.

Sometimes you want to go to nowhere. Just drive and listen to your favorite music, look at the flickering lights, look at all this city bustle. Forget about all the problems and just enjoy.

  • Life is a journey. For some it’s the way to the bakery and back, for others it’s trip around the world. © K. Khabensky
  • You know, when I woke up this morning and looked back at my life, I thought: “Should I be afraid to take risks and do what I really want to do, not paying attention to other people’s opinions and criticism of me? Not paying attention to the imaginary fears that my “smart mind” draws, distancing me from the realization of my desires?” Death happens to a hundred people out of a hundred, not to ninety-nine, but to a hundred people. Is it worth worrying about her if the moment comes when she knocks on my door and says: “Well, it’s time!”? I think the worst thing is when she knocks on my door, and I, looking back at my life, will very much regret that I had the opportunity, but I didn’t take the risk. That I could approach the girl and meet her, but I was afraid that she would send me away. That I didn’t have time to tell my parents how much I love them and don’t want them to fight. That I didn’t quit a job that was boring and uninteresting to me and never took the risk of opening my own business. I will regret that I did not travel much and did not take care of my health. Etc. Now, when I have any doubts, I ask myself one question: “What am I afraid of?” and there are no more doubts. © Alexey Demidov
