. . . so he can tell a story. (. . .)”. Quote by Matthias Claudius (1740 - 1815).
Those of you who know me know that I love to travel and have lived abroad for several years. There have been many ups and downs, views and insights. Experiences that I would never want to miss. In the end, one thing was always the same: coming home. We often forget that the real journey takes place within ourselves. We want to reach our destination, each in a different way. Sometimes with shortcuts, so-called shortcuts, which often turn out to be detours. People come, travel with us for a while. Some stay or leave again. Sometimes we are sad about this and sometimes happy. Everything stays in motion and at best we learn from the rather impassable journey that leads us to ourselves. It is up to us to determine the pace of this journey. It is up to us what we make of encounters and situations. How and whether we accept them, how and whether we let them go again, how and whether we learn from them. It is up to us to question material things when they are taken from us, lost or broken. It is up to us whether we see this journey as a game or as a fight. We should always be aware of one thing: Every goes its own way. We always determine the rules of the game ourselves. It is the time to wake up and realize that self-responsibility and self-determination are not always easy, but are more important than ever. How often do you think to yourself, "I don't care anymore" or "I can't change anything on my own anyway"? How often do you shy away from standing up for what is important to you and why? How high is your threshold for suffering before you dare to take the next step? What is (still) stopping you?
Traveling means courage. For a long time I didn't understand when others called me brave, alone, with all the challenges of life, traveling in foreign countries. Over time I learned that courage also means getting involved in something new and uncertain, being open and living in the moment so that whatever comes, may and can come. No matter how much changes, believe in yourself and have faith in the bigger picture. Realize that you yourself are the change.
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
. . . said Mahatma Gandhi (1869 – 1948). It is interesting that at the turn of the century, travel in Europe was just gaining in importance: it became cheaper, faster, more comfortable. Where has this led us? Do you also see a change in this?
In my consultations, I work individually and intuitively on different topics that make our worldly journey conscious and tangible for you. If you would like support with this, I would be happy to accompany you on a part of it! > Make an appointment
With this in mind, I wish you a wonderful onward journey.
