WHY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO CHANGE

Posted in Jones' wisdom with tags , , , , , , , on December 11, 2023 by tiltdiary

Admitting that what you’ve done for thirty years (which most people think makes them an “expert”) doesn’t work will bring up tears of regrets, questions about your existence, and will put everything you think that was true into jeopardy. It’s much easier to continue doing what you do even if it doesn’t work and blame others for the failure. Changing and trying something new is risky!

KEEP DOING YOU

Posted in Jones' wisdom with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 23, 2023 by tiltdiary

We all must try to remember who we are and what we came to do on this planet. We must reconnect to our passions and never let go of what we are meant to do. It doesn’t matter if you inspire millions or just one person as long as you keep doing you.

STRIPPER JUMPS LUCK-TRAIN

Posted in Jones' Poems with tags , , , , , , , on March 2, 2018 by tiltdiary

Take my numbness away
Tell me I will be okay
Set me free
Just let me be
Call me an angel that has fallen low
The music moves me and makes my moves slow
Dance it off, no more tears to cry
From here on I will fly
Don’t need drugs to get high
Make it rain
I am finally on the luck train
Enough of suffering and despair
I comb out my matted hair
No more time to get stuck
I jumped on the train of new luck
Last tears cried
Tonight I will make an exception and eat my food fried
Enough of modestly
From here on I pick my own melody

BEING STUCK IN THE HAMSTER WHEEL

Posted in Jones' wisdom with tags , , , , , , , on April 24, 2014 by tiltdiary

photo (25)Do you feel like your life has become an experience in a giant hamster wheel and it keeps spinning with you loosing control over what’s happening? Guess what a hamster does when he had enough of running in the wheel? He stops and gets out. You too can stop to at least take a breath, collect yourself, and then decide if you want to keep spinning or if you want to get out. You do have a choice and you should never forget that.

BE THE DAREDEVIL IN YOUR OWN LIFE

Posted in Jones' wisdom with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 3, 2014 by tiltdiary

Image-1 (3)It is never about how good you are. What counts is that you are doing it, and that you can enjoy the experience, feeling how your body, mind, and spirit react. Especially, if you are trying something you have never done before, you cannot be a master at it. You have your whole life to master certain skills but without trying, exploring, and challenging yourself you will never explore what makes you giggle, happy, passionate, or powerful. Don’t let fear hold you back, and start to spin, fly, climb, and go upside down changing your perception of things. There is no “I can’t.” You can do anything you want to do. You are in charge of your life, the experiences you invite and allow, the actions you take or don’t take.

Today, in my “Try-Something-I-Have-Never-Done-Before” journey I encountered Lyra. A simple ring attached to the ceiling can spark unimaginable powers inside of you. I remembered how my class mates made fun of me because as a teenager I sucked on the uneven bar. Back then, they made me believe I was fat and weak. All I can say about that is that this was only their perception, and my gym teacher was really the one who sucked. Tavi Stutz at Aeriform Arts made me feel as if I can tear out trees with my bear hands. Be strong with me, be fearless, and let all the negative things they told you some time in your life turn into dust. You are what you want to be.

LIFE IS SHORT

Posted in Jones' wisdom with tags , , , , , , , , , , on October 30, 2013 by tiltdiary

Make it unforgettable, create the unthinkable, go the extra mile, and live with all the passion you can find inside of you. It’s the little things that count. The extra thought, the special “Hello” just out of the blue, the happy smile, and the extra determination that will change the ordinary into the extraordinary. Life without adding your essence, your spark, your imagination, and your creation means nothing. Only you can make your life special and transform the hearts of others with your joy. Don’t sleep your life away. Wake up and live to the fullest. Surprise someone today, and make as many creature as possible smile today, share a touch, and have the courage to look deep into someone’s eyes. Fear does not move you, it freezes you. But passion and courage will transform the world one animal and one human at the time. Life is short, make it yours, and create the extraordinary.

TAKE A RISK

Posted in Jones' Poems with tags , , , , , , on July 8, 2013 by tiltdiary

lomob-4 (3)Don’t wait for your life to wake

Wake it today

Don’t hide from fear

Face your fear

And let it take you to the limit

Don’t think tomorrow is soon enough

Make it today

Live

Laugh

Race

Breath

Kiss

Forgive

Love

Be

Dangerous

Fearless

Wild

Limitless

Risky

Alive

Because today is your day

Tomorrow is written in the wind
