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.

Have a break

In a society, where everyday life is dominated by stress and hecticness, people long for calm and quietness. Stress is all around and life is very fast. People have to managed permanent changes and are pinched for time. Burn-out, infarction and other illness are the consequence.

It’s important to have a break. Every day for a few minutes at work or better a few hours at evening. Please provide room for creativity, hobbies and relaxation. We all should recharge our batteries. That’s important for a healthy and happy life.

For people like me it isn’t easy to take a break. Workaholics means that they have to run, run, run. But that isn’t true. So please take time for yourself every day. And you’ll see that your life will be easier.

The beginning…

What is life all about?

My journey began at some point in life where I experienced more and more dissatisfaction creeping into my daily routine. This was not a situation I’d liked and I’d thought about my situation and looked for solutions to find out how to regain joy and happiness again. I started asking myself: Why am I here and what is it all about? What is life really about?

Having thought about this point over and over again, I began realizing that every day I walk through my life I experience people having the same issue. When I looked into their faces, listened to their words, I found the same question about the core of it all on an unconscious level. It seemed like a deep inner search for true living, in joy and happiness and being completely satisfied.

So I became curious, bought my first books which I hoped could give me some answers (I have always been an enthusiastic reader of books), and the more I read, I ended up with more and more questions. Obviously I had started on a journey which leads me to undiscovered land: The true potential of the ourselves and the wise use of  it to create the life that I want.

What first hit me like a hammer was the conscious realization that I have lived my life totally unconsciously, driven by thoughts, words and actions of others.  Today I can state that this has been the first essential step, because in becoming aware of going through my life like a sleepwalker, I have been given the great gift of changing the way I think, search for solutions and getting the rudder back into my hands. This has been such a great experience, so I proceeded like being driven by an unknown inner force, getting more and more curious and I began exploring and discovering the great mystery that we call life. What a journey as I am experiencing it along the way! It doesn’t took long before the answer to my question, “what is it all about?”, came up inside of me: A journey that is meant to be enjoyed along the way! Wow, this was mind-blowing! And it still is…..
