Conquering Uncertainty and Embracing Life's Adventures

Presently, I'm relishing a two-month sojourn in the Philippines, basking in its splendor. In Davao, I indulged in the opulence of a 40th-floor luxury apartment for four days, immersing myself in the city's awe-inspiring vistas. Subsequently, I jetted off to Davao and procured a car to traverse its stunning mountainous terrain. Venturing by ferry to the isle of Samal, I luxuriated in a night spent in an idyllic resort.

Currently, I find myself on Siargao Island, a haven for surfers. This enclave is a veritable utopia, and I yearn for more to partake in its delights. Mounted on a rented motor scooter, I revel in unhindered exploration, embracing life's abundance. Here, on this island, I find the quintessence of freedom.

Yet, amidst this tapestry of bliss, uncertainties and anxieties often loom. Manila, among Asia's most perilous cities, serves as a stark reminder. Moreover, my rental car escapades in Davao lacked adequate insurance coverage, adding to the complexity. Constantly shifting locales necessitates perpetual adaptation, a task not devoid of challenges.

However, herein lies the crux: succumbing to fear, as many do, precludes the possibility of embracing life's extraordinary wonders. The key lies in not always heeding our fears, recognizing that they may not truly belong to us. Frequently, we are unwittingly guided by anxieties inherited from our upbringing.

In my forthcoming book, "Use of Stress," I delve deeper into this subject.

Until then, seize the opportunity to pursue your long-held aspirations. As Erich KƤstner aptly remarked, "There is nothing good unless you do it."

May courage illuminate your path,

Stefan

Transforming negative emotions

Today, I would like to write about how to deal with negative emotions. There are, of course, a variety of ways to encounter negative emotions. Today, I'm presenting one of the many paths that has often helped me. Emotions are always a result of a thought to which you have allowed entry into your mind. A thought that you believe and that is active within you will produce an emotion in you.  If you believe that you can simply stop thinking your negative thoughts, you are mistaken. In most cases, you will not succeed. At best, you can try to think of something pleasant. But even this approach often does not lead to success. Additionally, it does you little good to stop thinking a negative thought once it has been thought, as it is now active within you as truth and leads to negative feelings. It is advisable to take a closer look at the thought and ask yourself if something in your life is calling for change. In this case, the thought and the associated negative feeling may have a ...

You don't have a fixed personality

How can I make this blog as useful as possible? This is a question I ask myself every time I write an article. Last week, I returned from my two-month journey through the Philippines. With mixed feelings, I slowly reacclimatized to the daily routine filled with numerous tasks. Among other things, I spend a lot of time in the car. I love to spend this time with audiobooks, to educate myself further or to get inspired. One of my favorite books is "Fearless" and "Reinventing Yourself" by Steve Chandler. Especially the book "Reinventing Yourself" had a great influence on my life. Here, I write about one of my most important insights. What if I told you that you don't have a fixed personality? What if you could choose who you want to be at any time? When I first read about this idea, I was confused. No fixed personality? Shouldn't I just be myself? I can choose who I am, instead of just being myself? This thought scared me, and to be honest, it took me ...
