Dagelijkse inspiratie: elke week een citaat of gedachte om moed/kracht uit te putten

'Death is not a period, but just a comma in the story of our lives.'

"Toen je als baby kwam moest je huilen, maar de wereld was blij. Leef je leven zodanig dat als jij sterft de wereld huilt terwijl jij blij bent."

 Spreekwoord uit India

"Every man dies. Not every man lives.." (William Wallace- the Braveheart)

Dodelijke ziekte: Noodlot of uitdaging?

"Not every illness can be overcome. But many people allow illness to disfigure their lives more than it should. They cave in needlessly. But they ignore and weaken whatever powers they may have for standing erect. There is always a margin within which life can be lived with meaning and even with a certain measure  of joy, despite illness."    Dr. Norman Cousins-Anatomy of an illness

'De mens mag wel verdriet hebben, maar het verdriet mag de mens niet hebben.'  Toon Hermans

Labi Siffre- Something inside so strong;

Er is iets in mij zo sterk,

ik weet dat ik het aankan ondanks al jouw tegenwerk.

Je dacht dat ik geen trots meer had-o nee!

Er is iets in mij zo sterk-ik stel aan jou paal en perk

The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The further you take my rights away
The faster I will run

You can't deny me
You can't decide to turn your face away
No matter 'cause there's

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong, oh, something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lives will come tumbling

Deny my place in time
you squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly
It will blind you
Because there's

Chorus:
Something inside so strong, so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong, oh, something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
Well we know better, just look 'em in the eyes and say
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway

Chorus:
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong, oh, something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
Well we know better, just look 'em in the eyes and say
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
Because there's

Something inside so strong (Inside so strong)
I know that I can make it (Gonna make it)
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong, oh, something inside so strong, oh, something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
