“The Highest Thought is always that thought which contains joy. The Clearest Words are those words which contain truth. The Grandest Feeling is that feeling which you call love.”

The greatest discovery

“The greatest discovery of the 19th century was not in the realm of the physical sciences, but the power of the subconscious mind touched by faith. Any individual can tap into an eternal reservoir of power that will enable them to overcome any problem that may arise. All weaknesses can be overcome, bodily healing, financial independence, spiritual awakening, prosperity beyond your wildest dreams. This is the superstructure of happiness”

~ William James -
Harvard Psychologist, Father of American Psychology

Barbecue in winter

Every year we make a barbecue in February. And we followed the tradition this year, too.  Last Saturday was very warm for Germany’s winter, +10 degree celsius and sun was shining. Best conditions for a good barbecue in winter.

So we had a very nice evening with turkey’s spit, vegetable and wine. The pictures show you how good it was

The value of a human being

On given occasion the misinterpretation of the “value” becomes more conscious by me. The following situation has led me to the following knowledge: Study 7th semestre, business management. Of all ambitious student, everybody well then them has created it up to the end. The exam results are announced and a student receives a mark which she agree with it. When she hears that another student who was in her opinion much worse than herself has a better mark, she is angry at it.
If she had not known that the other is better, she would not have been angry and herself the evening-spoilt.

In the west the value of a person is measured first in the marks, later in the occupation and within the occupation in the salary. Figures always determine the value of a person. And these will award from other people on account of tests, check, achievement proofs and personal predilections.

However, is this really the value of a person? Is the 1st pupil more “worth”, therefore, than the 3rd pupil? What does this mark state about the person in himself, his character, his being?

Not a lot. We everybody know examples of rich people, the tyrants or choleric persons are and bring to the humanity nothing good. We know “poor” people who earn not a lot, were not well at school, however, for others are there. Who is more worth now?

Is a egoistic manager more worth than a good father of a family who works on the tape? Is a doctor more worth than a nurse?

The true value of a person deals nothing with the stamps imposed by us like marks or salary allocations. If it also is not able at all, because each of us is unique, has other aims in the life and other images. One would like to make career in a big company and earn a lot of money, the other is happy than fisher.

Every person has an individual value which is to be compared to no other person. One can compare himself only with himself and with nobody other. Most people forget this, but for us to the west educated people is also such a thing difficult to understand. We are trimmed, finally, from 6 years on figures and imposed, standardised values.

I know this well to have to be this ambition, this pressure and compulsion, always the best. I was the same up to the beginning of the study. But it brings nothing. Of course one can push himself and bring far it be “successful” in the social sense. Whether one is happy with 60 hours of job, a big car, house etc. then, is doubtful. Namely really happily. Not the feeling of happiness that our ego auditions to us.

Think about it. And discover your true value.

The most important wisdom…and its explanation

In his steps

Decide what you want

“Inside of every one of us is that tiny seed of the “you” that you were meant to become. Unfortunately, you may have buried this seed in response to your parents, teacher, coaches, and other adult role models as you were growing up.

You startet out as a baby knowing exactly what you wanted. You knew when you were hungry. You spit out the foods you din’t like and avidly devoured the ones you did. You had no trouble expressing your needs and wants. As you got older, you crawles around and moved toward whatever held the most interest for you. You were clear about what you wanted, and you headed straight toward it with no fear.

So what happened?

Somewhere along the way, someone said:

• Don’t touch that!
• Stay away from there.
• Keep your hands off that.
• Eat everything on your plate whether you like or not!
• You don’t really feel that way.
• You should be ashamed of yourself!

As you got older, you heard:

• You can’t have everything you want simply because you want it.
• Money doesn’t grow on trees.
• Stop beeing so selfish!
• Stop doing what you are doing and come do what I want you to do!

After many years of these kinds of sanctions, most of us eventually lost touch with the need of our bodies and the desire of our hearts and somehow got stuck trying to figure out what other people wanted us to do. We learned, ho to act and how to be to get their approval. As a result, we now do a lot of things we don’t want to do. So take care and thing about this.

Don’t live someone else’s dreams”

Guides or sign posts in our life

We all meet people which are guides and sign posts for us. They do or say something which change or form our life in a way and leave one’s mark. Both in a negative and positive way.

The negative people, or better said what we perceive as negative, are guides for our life too. Why? Either they are an example how it isn’t working, or we have developed a strength because of their behaviour.

Positive guides, for example, are often poeple which support us in a new or stressful situation. They give us advice, help or put our mind at ease.

Guides and sign posts are coming into our life for a moment or sometimes even longer.

Take a few minutes to think about it. In which situations of your life have people left one’s mark? What do you have learned from them? How has your life changed after the encounter with them? Are there people which attend you over and over again? Do you have a person who “gives” you energy and you feel good as soon as you think about the person?

Think about it! You are not alone in this world. The energy of life is sending you guides or sign posts in all moments to support you. What you have to do is to recognize their messages.
