Ways of courage
Ways never take you in the right direction. They are created while you go. Ways never take you to the horizon. You will get there with every step you take. Ways never lie in front of you. They will appear when you go on the journey. Ways never are right or wrong. They are simply a creation of your heart. Why do you struggle so much to find a way? Why do you fear taking the first step? Why don’t you see freedom, the horizon over the endless blue ocean? Which way do you want to create? A way to the ocean is never created by the fear from the…

How can I make life feel a bit easier? That was my journal entry this morning.Daily life and work demands feel more and more heavier at the moment, tiredness kicks in and there’s hardly any energy left for something I enjoy doing.

What would make life feel a bit more serene and joyful? Because that is what my body, mind and soul is craving for.Not setting another…

A way to the ocean
“Roads were made for journeys not destinations” ― Confucius A way can be narrow, long winding and nevertheless the right way to go.Twists and turns bring in different directions, a light that shines through the hedge of doubts.

This place in the distance is calling you.You feel attracted by it, although you can’t even say why.You pack your rucksack, get all your learnings and memories in, and you leave all the limiting thoughts, all that’s wearing you down…

The light is rising for you
Sometimes we can’t see the light because it seems to be hidden behind a huge wall of worries and doubts. Sometimes we can’t see the lighthouse that sends its rays over every stone, over the endless sea. The light travels with the waves, sparkling with the stars even in dark nights. Sometimes we have to wait, we have to be patient for the light getting through the clouds, rising above the horizon. It is always on its way, even if we can’t sense it and have already given up hope for the brighter days to come. Can you touch the ground, feel how it becomes warmer, as if it wants…
