‘’Eigenlijk ligt geluk voor het rapen... Je moet er alleen oog voor hebben’’.
Té simplistisch? Niet volgens wetenschappers.
Geluk is voor iedereen verschillend. Tot jezelf komen, jezelf graag zien en respecteren is dus nodig voordat je weet wat je écht wil in het leven.
Neem er de tijd voor, denk aan alles wat je hebt en hoe het jou nu al geluk schenkt. Elke dag opnieuw. Voel het geluk in jouw dagelijkse dingen, groots of klein. Kies voor de dingen en mensen die ‘’jou’’ gelukkig maken.🦙🦙🦙
Dit liedje vond ik toepasselijk. Als je de tijd hebt luister naar het liedje op YouTube, of lees de tekst hieronder maar eens.
We staren ons soms blind op het leven dat anderen delen op sociale media. Maar geluk valt niet te meten in momentopnames...geluk meet je in je hart...💕🦙💕
I've Never Been to Me
Charlene
Hey lady, you lady
Cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I 've no doubt
You dream about the things you'll never do
But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you
Ooh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...
Please lady please lady
Don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
Still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part
Of a weary heart that has lived a million lives
Ooh, I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
When I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed them what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'posed to see
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
A fantasy we created about people and places
As we like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you are gonna make love to tonight
That's truth that's love
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
The subtle wh***ng
That costs too much to be free
Hey lady I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me...
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise -
But I’ve never been to me
