Radical Forgiveness

 In this blog, I regularly write about topics that can help you lead a happy and successful life. One of the things I believe is often underestimated but is one of the most important aspects of a happy life is forgiveness. In this article, I will discuss what forgiveness actually means and why it can be so important for you to forgive.

Buddha once said, "Holding onto resentment and hatred is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." Do you know the feeling of anger, that unpleasant sensation within you? Are you aware that you are the one feeling this emotion and not the other person?

As a human, you possess incredible abilities. You are a creative being with the capacity to achieve greatness. However, most people are not aware of this. There are certain prerequisites for fully utilizing the potential of your creative power. One of these prerequisites is to be as free from resentment as possible.

Judgment is a process where you recognize something in another person that you can find in yourself in one way or another. Once you recognize something in another person that you actually reject, you react with judgment.

In many coaching sessions, I have repeatedly confirmed this theory. We constantly project onto our fellow human beings, constantly reflecting ourselves in them. It takes a lot of courage to allow this thought. But once you understand it, you realize that every time you judge someone else, you are actually judging yourself.

Once you've swallowed this bitter pill, it's about forgiving yourself for what you have recognized within you. Judging yourself will never get you anywhere. Whenever you learn something about yourself, you can use it to change. By shedding light on your shadows, you free yourself from everything that prevents you from stepping into your potential. This so-called shadow work is an important part of my coaching. If you would like to learn more about transformation and shadow work, you can do so on my website.

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 ...

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. Cons...

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 ...
