Today is Susi’s 15th birthday. We had a wonderful breakfast with a torte without eggs that Andrea has made especially for this day. As it was the first time that she tried it without egg she had chosen two recipes to have at least one torte which is nice. I am not a baking specialist but somehow both flan cases went wrong right in the beginning so that she could make neither of the tortes. However she had the wonderful idea to make one cake out of the two failed attempts. And it tasted wonderful! If something doesn’t work out how you would like to have it, make the best out of it and sometimes it can be nicer than what you actually intended to make!
Among other presents Susi got an envelope with money. I found it a very good present. Now she can buy something that she really wants to have. She might enjoy that much more than anything that one chooses for her.
While writing the diary I got very emotional because it is the birthday of my little sister, too. It is now one-and-a-half years ago that we lost her in a car accident. Since then I have not even looked at a picture of her. I miss her very much. I was crying when telling all of this to Ramona to write it down. It is okay and good to cry sometimes and I allow myself to let this flow. How many different emotions come in one day!

Making the best out of a situation is the best way to look at it. It can turn a disaster into a miracle! Sometimes you aren't expecting things to turn out a certain way. But if you open your mind and follow your guidance, you can create something beautiful out of a mistake or an unplanned circumstance.

Sometimes the outcome is simply not in our control, so stop thinking about what could have happened if you had taken another decision.
SourceThe fact that millions of people follow something is no proof that this action is good. Many people followed Hitler, too, but you cannot say that he was right!
SourceAcceptance and respect are needed for keeping a relationship alive. Your perception of your partner must be clean of doubts. Nothing is bad or good, keep in mind that it is only your perception.
SourceWhy do you eat Pig and Cow but not your Dog?
SourceEverybody has a heart and a soul. The body is the temple of our soul, in which it lives and we should be very respectful with it. We should not make an exhibition with it and we should not have rules to hide it. Both is not right and if you do one of both, you are disrespecting your body.
SourceYou need hope to believe, to survive and live. This whole world and everybody keeps on breathing because of hope.
SourceDon’t do what you don’t want your children to do. They learn what they hear and follow what they see. Love your child. Give clear signs what is good and what is not.
SourceThe scriptures of many religions tell the reader that God is beyond intelligence, beyond arguments and you cannot get to know him by discussing or talking. So why do you even try?
SourcePlease don't live with a different identity. The creation is wonderful as it is, accept that. If you do not accept god's creation you do not accept your own soul. Stop fighting against your true self! Self-confidence can only come after self-acceptance.
SourceIf you did a mistake, the first part of the solution is already that you realize it and then accept it. Don't try to find an excuse but turn around and walk the other way. Simply, honestly accept that you made a mistake and for the future commit to live an honest life which doesn’t cause pain for others and later for yourself.
SourceEnlightenment is being in love.
SourceOur stress is created by thinking with ego: I have to do this, I have to be good in that and I should be perfect in another thing. Actually it would be good if I was perfect in everything! Of course this creates stress! We put such high demand on ourselves and on what we should be able to do and to achieve.
SourcePeople often have different faces, for work, for home, for friends and so on. That makes it difficult for you and others to understand you. Just be who you are!
SourceImportant is not how rich you are but how happy you are.
SourceIf you read a superstitious scripture often enough, you start believing it is true. Coincidences confirm it but you have to follow your doubt!
SourceSpirituality may be different for everyone but if you have a meaningful life, no matter whatever this is for you, you live in spirituality. If you feel that you fulfill your purpose of life, you are happy and that is true spirituality.
SourceNot every religious person is a criminal but many criminal people are religious.
SourcePeople often trust lies and that is why lies can exist at all. You always need to believe lies blindly because if you opened your eyes, you would regret.
SourceThe great Indian culture says that falling in love is a crime. You teach your daughters not to talk to male college classmates but expect them to sleep with a complete stranger after their wedding.
SourceFall in love often. And not only with people, no, fall in love with a smell, fall in love with a colour, love the moment. Love the way how a person talks, love how friendly your neighbour is, love it that your body feels healthy. This will help you to live in a positive way.
