So often, we anticipate that once we achieve, gain, or acquire something, or when we conquer or win someone, our lives will improve. For many successful individuals, this becomes a driving force to surmount obstacles. Yet, what we frequently overlook is that our lives inevitably become full. We are bound by the confines of a 24-hour day, impervious to any hack. Nevertheless, our innate desire for growth persists.

Essays about the Simplicity Of Happiness and living the life you love!
distraction of self worth
I had a conversation the other day about distraction. I personally went off most social media in the last month. Since I have been traveling for most of my time for the last 10 years, I love to stay in contact and read about my friends’ updates as well as posting my own. Two things changed over the last years. Somehow my news feeds consist mostly of reposts written by people I don’t know, suggested posts of people I don’t know, and ads for stuff I don’t want to buy. By now, there are so many different options that you need to check 3, 4, or even 5 different feeds, and then you have people that share everything everywhere…
sucked into the stream
Social media for me became mostly a very easy accessible distraction, engineered to suck us into a never-ending stream of content. And when you want to create attention through your own social media, you have to play the game and create stuff that is engaging as well and helps to suck others into the stream.
embracing failure – the key to success
Today, I want to write about a topic that many of us tend to shy away from: failure. Yep, you heard me right! We’re diving headfirst into the world of setbacks, mishaps, and moments when things don’t quite go as planned. I could write an entire book about it, and yet those were the moments I learned the most. To people striving for success, failure often seems to be an obstacle, a setback to be avoided at all costs.
How would it affect your decisions if failure were not the antithesis of success but rather an essential ingredient for achieving it? What if embracing failure were the secret sauce to unlocking your full potential and realizing your dreams?
why i am leaving social media
Some people come into your life for a season, some for a reason, and some for a lifetime, but eventually, they all leave.
The same goes for everything else that we let into our lives.
Once upon a time, there was a life without social media for me. And guess what? I loved it for quite a while. Since I am traveling most of the time, I won’t see most of the people I meet anytime soon. Yet… I would like to stay in contact.
Social media gave me a perfect platform for that. Interaction was good, and every time I logged in, I saw real updates from real people that I knew.
A Path to Authentic Relationships
A Personal Journey of Growth and Transformation
Join me on a journey as I share my values, beliefs, and the person I have become over the past decade. I’ll explore the essence of authentic relationships and the power of unconditional love. It’s a story of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the pursuit of genuine connections.
Embracing Authenticity: Discovering the Essence of Genuine Connections
As a coach, I’ve spent considerable time working with individuals on leadership development. Whether through one-on-one coaching or in my leadership masterminds, I’ve come to understand that leadership is more than just managing tasks. It’s about leading people and nurturing unique relationships. Every relationship harbors a desire for something from the other person. We seek collaboration, support, love, and reciprocation.
roller coaster
Life is a wild ride.
As if to prove this saying, which is the shows motto right, I was sitting on a boat in the Mediterranean Sea on a stormy day when we recorded this conversation about life.
my perfect failure
In mid 2021 I had this conversation with Paul about failures and how it is up to us, to change the meaning of a failure to turn it into positive learning experience.
does more mean happier?
There used to be a time when I had more stuff than I could possibly use. That didn’t happen accidentally but served two needs of mine (at least I thought so). On the one hand I wished to own things that gave me joy and on the other hand I wanted to look successful to others. I thought: once I proofed to the world (and myself) that I had success I deserve to do the crazy things I dreamed about.
Fact was, it didn’t make me happy. I became more and more dependent on working for the things I owned and I had no time to actually use them. Secretly I was longing for freedom and was wondering: when you have all the stuff you want, but are not happy, will more of what didn’t make you happy in the first place help after all?
INpowered podcast
A perfect example, of how you can sometimes plan and still things turn out different.
I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Jayne of the INpowered podcast and although I was a a beautiful setting, I had to change last minute because a heavy wind was blowing.
I ended up recording this episode in my car, parked in the sun and the heat rising in the and my dog being annoyed being annoyed by all of that.
Helmstedter Sonntag
Recently I was interviewed by the Helmstedter Sonntag, a regional newspaper in Germany.
We talked about wasting stuff, desert, change and focus.
The whole interview is in German and if you know some German you might enjoy the conversation.
