Inspiration, empowerment & mindful living
I just saw this quote on Instagram and for a moment wanted to share it in my stories, but there is so much more to say about it that I felt like writing a blog post about it. The quote said “Life is strange. You arrive with nothing, spend your whole life chasing everything, and still leave with nothing…..
Actually, this should read, “One way of how to change your life” because there are of course so many ways to change your life and in this article, I am only sharing where my path took me after leaving the corporate world and diving head first into the unknown.
Many of you probably know about Van-Life mostly from Europe or North America. Living, traveling, and working from a Van. Parking the Van wherever it suits you (and is allowed) and just making it your home. If you have ever wondered if this could be possible in South Africa – in this post I am sharing our experiences from just having tried this out during living Van-Life for the past 8 months.
It feels like more and more people nowadays start questioning what they currently do, especially when working in fixed or corporate jobs for many years. If you are one of them and feel you would like to change your life but don’t know how and where to start, this blog post will give you some good ideas and inspiration.
I recently read a story in a book and I love stories for they bring messages across in the best way. This story holds so much truth and I am sure it will resonate with you like it did for me. If you have had bad experiences in relationships, lost the belief in love, don’t think true love exists or you have given up on relationships, this story is for you!
Most people think that they have to do something first or have something first before they can BE someone. However, in this exercise, it is the other way around. You need to BE someone first to then have or do it. It means that you need to envision your future life and future self first (now) to then become it.
Growing up in Germany, I was always kind of led to believe that success equals career and money. However in the last couple of years, I started seeing things differently. If you are out there chasing money while thinking once you achieved “xyz” in terms of career and money, you will be happy, or if you like to read about different ideas and angles of success…
In July last year I took off on a solo mission in the Austrian alps which besides turning out to be one of the best things I have ever done unexpectedly led me to some important life lessons and epiphanies.
For most of my adult life I thought that I wanted to change the world to be a better place or to save the world, or at least make a huge difference. And I always thought if I only had lots of money – if I was a billionaire – I could do so much! I struggled to see how I could possibly make a difference without being a billionaire or famous person. Until one day…
It is amazing to see how one’s perception and experience can change so immensely within 6 days from first being unsure to then not enjoying it to then absolutely loving it and being incredibly grateful. This is what happened to me during a 6-day meditation course at a Buddhist monastery in Nepal.
