Therapy Roots

When the winds of adversity come, remember one thing--kites fly the very highest against the wind. Kites don't fly in spite of opposition, kites fly high because of opposition. In fact, they couldn't fly without opposition.

"John By"

Μια καινούργια χρονιά ξεκινάει!
Κάποιοι αυτές τις μέρες βρίσκουν την ευκαιρία να κάνουν μια ανασκόπηση του παρελθόντος, άλλοι θέτουν νέους στόχους, άλλοι πάλι απλά χαίρονται για το πρωτοχρονιάτικο πάρτι ή για την άδεια από τη δουλειά.
Σε κάθε περίπτωση είναι ωραίο να ξεκινάς το υπόλοιπο της ζωής σου με λίγη έμπνευση και πολύ πολύ χιούμορ, έτσι όπως το κάνει και ο κωμικός Tim Minchin.
Καλή μας χρονιά!

Χρόνια πολλά, καλά Χριστούγεννα!!!

Ακολουθεί μια μικρή "Χριστουγεννιάτικη" ιστορία στα αγγλικά...

* ATTENTION PARENTS WHO MIGHT NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SANTA 🎅🏼 *

Son: "Dad, I think I'm old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?"

Dad: "Okay, I agree that you're old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can't un-know it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you'll never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know?"

*Brief pause*

Son: "Yes, I want to know."

Dad: "Okay, then I'll tell you. Yes, there is a Santa Claus."

Son: "Really?"

Dad: Yes, really, but he's not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That's just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he's not a person at all; he's an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. We bought those for you. We watched you open them. And did it bother us that you didn't know? Of course not! In fact it gave us great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement.
When I saw that woman collapse in town last week and I called for help, I knew that she'd never know that it was me that called an ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that."

Son: "Oh."

Dad: "So now that you know, you're a part of it too. You have to be Santa Claus now. That means you can never tell a young kid the secret, you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help other people. Got it?" ☺️

Look out for and help each other this Christmas🎄🎅 and... always be kind ❤

"Ακούστε. Εγώ είμαι ο γκρεμιστής, γιατί είμ’ εγώ κι ο κτίστης,
ο διαλεχτός της άρνησης κι ο ακριβογιός της πίστης."

Κωστής Παλαμάς - «Ο γκρεμιστής»

"για να γίνει το πήδημα αυτό, απαραίτητο να προηγηθεί η καταστροφή, να γκρεμιστούν πολλά σεβαστά κι αγαπημένα που εμποδίζουν και να ανοίξει ανάμεσα από τα ερείπια η ψυχή καινούργιο δρόμο '

Καζαντζάκης 1936
