Distraction is a powerful tool

from persepolis 2: the story of a return by marjane satrapi, page 148

Words of wisdom to keep uppermost in your mind and in your heart! 🙏👍

If you think you are beaten, you are

If you think you dare not, you don’t,

If you like to win, but you think you can’t

It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost

For out of the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow’s will

It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are

You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go

To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.

Freedom for Iran and the Persian people 🙏

40th day since Ghazaleh Chelabi was murdered in the protests against dictatorship and misogyny. Women are burning their hijab at her graveside.

Haven’t read the source quoted but I like the concept as something that’s practicable for each of us to adopt as behavior that helps us all

'We are not just one little island in the samsaric or confused world. We have the rest of the world to inspire. A demonstration of personal growth, personal dignity, and the understanding of karmic situations, and of how to plant or transplant good karma in people, can go a very long way. This is both short and long-term vision joined together with the intention of developing bravery.'

Excerpted from: _The Future Is Open: Good Karma, Bad Karma, and Beyond Karma_ by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

There is going to be big protest on November 15th they will probably cut of our internet...don't forget us...

Now if THIS doesn’t relax you, you need serious help!! 😉🙏😎

Redheads & freckles are a perfect combination 😍🔥😜

Love this!!

WOMAN. . . . . . . . .

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.......

An angel came by and asked." Why spend so much time on her?"

The lord answered. "Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?"

She must function on all kinds of situations,

She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,

Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,

She must do all this with only two hands,"

She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day"

THE ANGEL was impressed" Just two hands.....impossible!

And this is the standard model?"

The Angel came closer and touched the woman"

"But you have made her so soft, Lord".

"She is soft", said the Lord,

"But I have made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome"

"Can she think?" The Angel asked...

The Lord answered. "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate"

The Angel touched her cheeks....

"Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her"

"She is not leaking...it is a tear" The Lord corrected the Angel…

"What's it for?" Asked the Angel..... .

The Lord said. "Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."...

This made a big impression on the Angel,

"Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything.

A woman is indeed marvellous"

Lord said."Indeed she is.

She has strength that amazes a man.

She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.

She holds happiness, love and opinions.

She smiles when she feels like screaming.

She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.

She fights for what she believes in.

Her love is unconditional.

Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life"

The Angel asked: So she is a perfect being?

The lord replied: No. She has just one drawback

"She often forgets what she is worth".~
