The Invitation

Posted On März 14, 2007
März 14, 2007

Wurdest du jemals von jemandem dazu eingeladen auch nur einige dieser Fragen zu beantworten?
Stell dir für einen Moment vor, Arbeitskollegen, dein Chef, Partner, Freunde oder deine Familie hätten es getan. Wie würde es dich beeinflussen?

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine and your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine and your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself: if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul: if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it’s not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, ‘Yes!’

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you can stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

    I believe that a property foreclosure can have a important effect on the applicant’s life. Property foreclosures can have a Several to few years negative impact on a debtor’s credit report. A new borrower that has applied for home financing or virtually any loans for instance, knows that your worse credit rating is, the more difficult it is to acquire a decent bank loan. In addition, it could affect a borrower’s chance to find a quality place to lease or hire, if that gets to be the alternative housing solution. Good blog post.

    A few things i have observed in terms of computer memory is that there are features such as SDRAM, DDR or anything else, that must match the specifications of the motherboard. If the pc’s motherboard is pretty current while there are no operating-system issues, replacing the storage space literally takes under an hour or so. It’s one of the easiest laptop upgrade treatments one can envision. Thanks for expressing your ideas.

    I realized more interesting things on this weight reduction issue. 1 issue is a good nutrition is vital any time dieting. A big reduction in fast foods, sugary meals, fried foods, sweet foods, red meat, and white colored flour products could possibly be necessary. Retaining wastes bloodsuckers, and contaminants may prevent desired goals for fat loss. While particular drugs in the short term solve the matter, the terrible side effects are not worth it, and so they never supply more than a momentary solution. It is a known undeniable fact that 95 of celebrity diets fail. Many thanks sharing your ideas on this weblog.
