👉Hustle and hard work are not at all mandatory 👉Hustle and hard work are not at all mandatory ingredients to reach or live a joyful life!👈 To better share the idea behind it with you, let me tell you a little story. 📖 After an exhausting year at work, a successful business man decided to take some days off and enjoy some leisure time by the ocean. 🌊🏝☀️ Whilst having a great time he day by day noticed a fisherman following his daily routine. After enjoying the sunrise every single morning, he had breakfast with his family, grabbed his stuff and boat and went fishing for half the day. Every day the fisherman returned with his boat full of fish, which he then sold at the local market. He usually ended the day by having dinner with his family, playing with his kids at the beach and enjoying a beautiful sunset. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🌅 The business man was really impressed by the amount of fishes the fisherman was bringing home every day by just spending few of hours fishing. He continued observing, started thinking it through and doing some calculations. 🤔 Then he approached the fisherman. “I have been watching you the last days and I am pretty sure, you can grow a big business out of your fishing. By not spending half a day but a full day you could easily double or triple the fishing results and your earnings💰 In a couple of months you’d then be able to hire another fisherman or two who could further increase the volume, followed by investments in even more boats and employees!” 🚣‍♀️ 🎣 🚣‍♀️ “That sounds like some tough years of work. Why should I do this?” “You could grow a great business! After 3 or 4 years that business will easily run with less efforts on your side! A business that would run itself whilst you would be having the life you always dreamed of!” 🤔 “Hmm, like starting the day with my family and enjoying a relaxing breakfast?” 😃 „Yeah absolutely! And you could spend the rest of the day doing whatever you love doing!” 🤔 „Like being out on the ocean and fishing in silence?“ 😃 “Exactly!” 🤔 „And at the end of the day I could play with my kids at the beach until sunset and end the day with a family dinner?“ 😃 “Sure thing! You got it!“ 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️ „Yes, indeed. I‘ve got it all...“💫 ...👇👇👇
Happy Monday everyone! Have a fantastic start into Happy Monday everyone! Have a fantastic start into the week! ☀️ We will go from -16 to +16 degrees this week 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️
Today I’d love to share another little tale with Today I’d love to share another little tale with you. When it does the same to you as what it did to me, it will change the way you look at “bad” and “good” things happening to you. And therefore will hopefully help you in how to cope with them. 👨‍🌾 👩‍🌾 There was this farmer who, together with his family, owned several acres of land and quite a view animals. 🚜 🐄 🐴 One day his best working horse suddenly ran away and disappeared. A friend who heard about these news came along: „Oh man, that was your best working horse. This is really bad!“. The farmer shrug and replied: „Good...bad...who knows?!”. 🤷‍♂️👨‍🌾 🐴🐴 Just two days later the horse returned and even brought another horse along! The same old friend again approached the farmer and was celebrating: “This is incredible! You are sooo lucky!” But the farmer again just replied: “Good...bad...who knows?!” 🤷‍♂️👨‍🌾🚨 Throughout the next days the farmers son was the one to train the new horse. When he did so, he fell of the horse and broke his leg. The farmers friend was really sorry to hear “That new horse might have been a real bad coincidence. You would have been better without it. Now your oldest son is out for the harvest season.” All the farmer answered was “Good...bad...who knows?!” 🤷‍♂️👨‍🌾🚍 A few days later, military came into town to recruit all healthy young men for the army. They left the farmer’s son behind because of his broken leg, not forcing him to war. „Now that must have been the luckiest thing that could have ever happened!“, the friend said to the farmer. And again he relied “Good...bad...who knows?!” 🤷‍♂️👨‍🌾 By now you pretty much got the point, I guess. Events and incidents in our lives are neither good nor bad. They are just happening and it is each of us individually who give them a good or bad meaning. Relax, try changing perspectives a little more often and challenge yourself in finding the “good” even in what seems to be “bad” things.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! ☀️❄️☀ Have a wonderful weekend everyone! ☀️❄️☀️

I‘ll never outgrow the excitement of looking out I‘ll never outgrow the excitement of looking out my window and seeing falling snow ❄️
While last week felt like spring, this morning we While last week felt like spring, this morning we have -7 degrees! Can’t think of a time when it’s been that cold here 🥶 What’s your minus degree record?
It’s just been very recently when life taught me It’s just been very recently when life taught me another session. It’s been a small thing but the story behind it goes far deeper than that. 🥾💧 It was one of those days on which I did take a little walk across the fields with one of our boys. Rainy days have caused several big puddles along the way and there’s that one place where the puddle spreads over several meters and the full width of the path. 🌧 Obviously, there are just two ways to cross this one: either going straight through - when you got the proper waterproof shoes on- or make use of a little dirt trail at the side of that puddle. 🌲💧🌲 Whilst we got closer I was looking down at the shoes of the kid. The shoes he was wearing weren’t waterproof and the laces were untied. So I turned to him and said: “Be careful, you’re shoes are untied and would soak up the water when you walk straight ahead into the puddle. Better tie your shoes and since I don‘t expect your shoes to be waterproof, why don‘t you better take the dirty path aside the puddle?“ And that‘s what he did. At the same time I was just walking straight ahead with my hiking boots on knowing they are water resistent. Seconds later, a few steps into the puddle, I looked down at myself, seeing my shoes untied and the laces soaked up with water. 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️ It‘s a small little story but it has a fundamental lesson to be told: take care of yourself - in all ways. Only then will you be able to properly take care of others without neglecting yourself. 💫 Life is telling the best stories, don’t you agree?!
Good Morning everyone and have a wonderful day ☀ Good Morning everyone and have a wonderful day ☀️🌧🌦🌨❄️
THIS is surely one of the key tales and wisdoms th THIS is surely one of the key tales and wisdoms that had a huge impact on my life and I can’t wait sharing this one with you today! So take a minute and follow closely... 📝 One late evening, the disappointed apprentice approaches his teacher: „I have done everything you ever told me, master. I have meditated not just for 2 hours a day but even 3! I have fasted not just 7 days but nearly 2 weeks! I have read all the books you recommended and practiced everything exactly the way you taught me. But still, I don‘t feel lighter, I don‘t feel happier, I don‘t see how I ever get closer to where you are spiritually or even to being enlightened!“ 😔 The master turns around, looks at the apprentice. He then turns away and looks at the moon. 🌙 „When you would ask me to show you the moon”, he asks “what would I do?“ „I guess you would point your finger to the moon and say ‘There it is’”, the apprentice replies. 👉🌙 „That‘s right. This is because there is no way I could ever SHOW you the moon. All I can do to help you is pointing my finger in the direction where the moon is. YOU need to find and see the moon yourself. I can only lead you to the direction by my gesture but I could never show you the moon.” 💫 After a short moment of thoughtful silence he continues: „All the tools, all the lessons, all the wisdoms I have shared with you are like my finger pointing to the moon. In the end you need to find your own way to finally see and reach what your are searching for.“ 💫 Think about it and read this again. All the tools and gained knowledge in the world don’t matter if you don’t apply them deeply into your life and shift your awareness and focus. This has been a major lesson to me and I can only hope that it will have a similar impact to you as it had for me.
I’d never claim that what I am sharing with you I’d never claim that what I am sharing with you is the one and only truth. It is my way! That’s what it is. My way of developing and evolving to be the best version of me - the version I truly, deeply love. ❤️ And my hope is that sharing all those stories, thoughts, questions, challenges, meanings and all there is with you, will help you in a way it helped me before. It’s so easy to listen to and read about things that we already know and to which we immediately respond like “Yeah I know! Totally agree!”. Things that are perfectly fitting in to how we see the world. Your current truth. If it’s that what you’re aiming for, hearing the same things and simply getting a confirmation of what you already know - fine, then move on and stay the same. 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️ ☝️But here’s what I experienced so far: there is always something to learn and ways to improve yourself. Always! The longer we ignore that the longer we ignore evolving to our full potential! 💫💫💫 My tip for you - and this is nothing magical, nothing extra ordinary, no big secret - my tip for you is: start dealing with yourself. 🤯 Right?! 😃 It‘s that obvious! It might not be easy but it’s surely that obvious! Get to know YOU better, understand why you THINK what you THINK, FEEL what you FEEL and DO what you DO! 🌄 Be open to new perspectives. Be open to a new way of looking at you and therefore looking at the world that surrounds you! 🌅 This is why I am sharing my own journey with you. The thoughts and lessons that taught me a lot. The tales and experiences that opened my eyes. Hoping that it helps you to start and proceed on your own journey. 🛤
✨You are in charge of your thoughts and feelings ✨You are in charge of your thoughts and feelings✨ Not satisfied with how you feel and the thoughts running through your head?🔥 Well what if I told you there is a straight forward way to change that! 🌟 Take action and be the change. You cannot change what‘s happening around you. You cannot change events or people. But you can surely start a change by changing what you feel and think. 💫 Fact is: Your feelings mirror your thoughts and your thoughts mirror your feelings.🙃 Sounds confusing at first but give it a try and read it again. 🙂 Our mind is highly influencing how we feel. Thoughts, based on past experiences or expectations, give direction to how we feel about a situation, a person or to something that was said or done to us. And vice versa, how we currently feel is directly linked to our thoughts. 🤪 So knowing that, why not take positively advantage of that?! Have wonderful thoughts at the start of the day instead of flashing your brain with negative news and foreign opinions by checking your smartphone and turning on the TV? Why not feel happy about what you‘ve got, what you‘ve achieved and be aware of all the wonderful small things in your every day life?! You, and only you, are in charge of your thoughts and feelings! Being aware of that also gives you the power to change your thoughts and feelings instantly from one moment to another! True story!😎 It‘s all up to you! Stop blaming others, take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings and by doing so change how you approach your day and every single moment!🥰
⁉️I’ve been facing a lot of tough decisions ⁉️I’ve been facing a lot of tough decisions throughout my life. Decisions that not at all been easy for me. Can you relate? Have you experienced these challenging situations as well? 😞 You know what really helped me to be quicker in making decisions? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 2 things: 1️⃣ I changed my perspective. In fact there are no easy or tough decisions. There is no wrong or right. It is just one of plenty decisions to be made in your life. 2️⃣ I started taking decisions. It’s as simply as this. Simply move ahead, make that decision and see what’s happening next. You’re fine with the outcome? Perfect! 👍 Is it evolving in a way you don’t like? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Guess what?! Make a new decision and set things right. ✅ Overthinking decisions never EVER made it easier. It’s not like the more you think about it, the more likely the answer will magically appear to you. 🧙‍♂️ 💫 Within the Hagakure, the code of the Samurai, it is said that you should take a decision within 7 breaths. 😌 A time span long enough to properly think through and escape the first emotional reaction but also short enough to not make it “a big thing”. 💫💫💫 Try it out. Make some intentionally quick decisions today - no matter how big or small - and be aware of how this feels and how it’s moving you forward.

FEAR - How it’s limiting us in helping others - FEAR - How it’s limiting us in helping others - Part 1 Is it just me or is fear to one extend or the other ruling us all? I have the impression that fear is very present these days and it’s shaping a whole generation. The fear may be sometimes obviously clear and sometimes hidden. But it seems to be everywhere. The following might seem to be comparably small but something I’d like to share with you since I am experiencing it a lot lately. It’s happening here on IG and is related to our creative project. We been approaching a few IG profiles whether they would be interested in promoting our creative event Lettering On Air to their communities. By organising this event and all the activities around it, we want to support rising artists and help creatives in developing their skills. What we got as replies were prices far beyond normal and answers such as „being creative“ doesn’t match their IG profile. Since when does supporting others not match a personality? And isn’t it pure creativity to run an IG profile?! No matter the content. Aren’t we all creators of every single day of our life?! They are building a border by those statements and thoughts. Limits based on a self-established border that doesn’t exist at all! It’s just in their heads! But why? My assumption is - and yes it’s just an assumption but which other reason could it be? - so my assumption is, that they simply do have a fear of sharing their followers or even losing them to other profiles. But again why? There are plenty of people out there on Insta, following thousands of profiles and pretty sure, there are enough possibilities to grow your audiences. Why do Instagramers fear sharing? It‘s not a loss at all. It’s a win! Sharing and recommending is providing an added value to your followers. They are following you for a reason - mostly because you got something in common. So why not share something that might help them - even if it’s not exactly your cup of tea. How can you dare to say “This is not something that fits my followers.” when you got thousands or ten thousands of people in there?! Do. Them. A. Favor! Share ideas, share support...share the love...share creativity!
Swipe for the panorama effect 👉 To one extend o Swipe for the panorama effect 👉 To one extend or the other we’re all guilty, Me, you, everyone! We all care about what others think about us. And this is negatively influencing our thoughts, feelings, decisions, life. It is happening to me as well🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️ But why should we care at all about what others think⁉️ The truth is: noone else but you knows your feelings, thoughts, motivations. Even your closest peer is not living your life. So how could anyone else ever claim to know you or even know what‘s going on in your head and what your motivation behind your action is? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Pay attention! Now, this is fundamental! Don’t care a damn thing what others think about you! And don‘t ever take anything personally. Worry less - or even not at all - about what others think. ⬆️⬆️⬆️ The only thing that matters is that YOU are fine with what you do, what you think, how you behave and how you treat others. And obviously it is the other way round as well: we should not judge upon others at any time. But that’s for a different stor:)

🙏🏻Gratefulness This is the key to so much i 🙏🏻Gratefulness This is the key to so much if not everything: gratefulness. ✨ „Not the lucky ones are grateful. It is the grateful ones who are happy. “ Francis Bacon ✨ If gratefulness is not the key it is for sure a major part of the solution.‼️ Be grateful. 🙏🏻 Get in the mood of gratefulness every single day. Every morning of each day. Do it intentionally.👈 Remind yourself regularly of what is! Not what is missing in your life. Not what might be. What is!☝️ It should be a goal for all of us to get into this mood and feeling and conviction of gratefulness, spread it through our adapted behavior and receive what we spread. 💕 What are you grateful for? Write down 3 things or say them out loud right now and let’s get this started.🥰
✔️ It‘s not the moment Are you upset a lot? ✔️ It‘s not the moment Are you upset a lot? About things happening in your life? Smaller things, bigger things. In your relationships, at work, wherever they occur. ❓ It‘s not the moment or action that is good or bad. ‼️ It‘s your legacy, your judgment of that moment that you picked up yourself over the years of your life. And this is what is making it good or bad. The pure event itself has no direct meaning to yourself. Neither in good nor in bad. 🔆 It‘s not the moment or action that is good or bad. ‼️ When this is understood, there is no reason to be upset anymore - at all! ✨ Take a minute. Try to clear your mind and forget everything you have been taught or you experienced yourself and take away your own conclusions and judgments that came along with those. Seriously. Totally ignore everything. And then think again about the situation you are upset about. 💫
