Mind your own Business! It all starts within yourself

Finding peace with not having it all perfect from the start is hard. It might sound easy but who can admit that not having the fitness to run a marathon straight away again after a broken leg is bothering you? A failed exam after long studying does cause pain and not having the dream job tasks straight after starting into the career can also be demotivating.

The truth is that we are simply too much driven by the outside. We create goals that we need to fulfil only because we believe others would expect this from us. So expectations arise from expectations and this vicious circle keeps us running like a hamster-wheel, always chasing something that in fact does not exist.

But how to cope with this? Well this is a journey, but I learned to really search in myself what it is that I want to reach at some point in my life and who I want to be. You have to be concrete and ruthless about knowing your strengths and weaknesses and your goals. And then you can learn to breathe and endure when life doesn’t fall out as hoped. Because you believe in yourself and know that sooner or later you will make it happen.

And this thought motivates me every single day and every moment when I feel unsure whether this is really my life or just a short detour on my way to proud happiness.
