Yesterday I wrote that people tell me they need to learn to say no and it is really many people who say this. But today I want to say from a different perception why don’t we also learn to say yes? Why do we always live so much in doubts? I believe if our attitude is positive, it can change everything and also the way of living. If we say ‘yes’ to life, to love and to laughing, enjoying and having fun, we can change our life.
But unfortunately most of the times all our doubts and negative thoughts are too much and we are not able to say ‘yes’ and enjoy and have fun. And if we have fun and enjoy we often feel that others don’t enjoy with us. They want to make us feel guilty about it, that we are having fun instead of living in doubts.
I want to invite those who are worrying about learning to say no. Please come, take a step out and say yes! Open your heart and say ‘Yes, I am ready to embrace love’ and see how beautiful life is. You have a right to be happy and you deserve to have fun! Don’t care about people who try to make you feel guilty. Nobody knows how many days are left in life. Come, enjoy it and celebrate it!
Our friend Jürgen drove us to Erkelenz today where we will stay the next week with Sonja and her family.
Today’s food was sponsored by the students of the yoga teacher training. Thank you all!

I love this post Swami Ji!! There is something transformative, open, and free about saying YES to life! When we are filled with doubt and think we should say "no" to life, we are feeling fear about the unknown. We are afraid to take chances and live life to the fullest. No matter what it is, say yes to the possibilities... you never know what amazing things will occur just because you are open to it. YES!!!

This is really well stated. These words sound simple...and they are simple. And saying yes has a deeply profound effect on your life.

Among friends, in relationships or among family members you should be able to tell the other one whenever you feel that an expectation was not fulfilled.
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.
SourceTry to be attached to as little as possible, leave old things, throw them out and give them to someone who needs them more than you.
SourceDon’t be afraid to act differently. It won’t make you an outsider if those around you really love you. You have to be honest in order to feel good about yourself.
SourceMeditation has become a sign of being spiritual or religious. Don't do it regularly however simply because your religion tells you to. Such a ritual often becomes a habit and loses its benefit.
SourceYou are not responsible for everything and everybody. Relax, lean back and watch what others are doing. It is fine, enjoy whatever comes!
SourceWhen we grow up we are taught that we should be careful whom we trust. So how could it be right to have faith in God, someone whom you never even met? Sometimes you even doubt whether he exists at all! So is it really a great idea to have faith in such a person?
SourceAtheists have done something that is not very different from what Buddha has done – they formed just another group with a different belief, the belief that there is no god.
SourceNever skip a reason for a celebration!
SourceReligion is outdated from today’s point of view because we have found the answers to the questions due to which religion was created in the first place! Only manipulation and fear is left together with ancient, bloody scriptures – so you should leave religion and it should be buried as a relic of the past.
SourceReligion was founded when people started creating rules around that power called ‘God’ with which they could make people afraid and manipulate them. They defined ‘their god’ and split the population of the world in different groups.
SourceThe explanation of why healing works is not important. Important is your experience.
SourceReduce your Stress-Levels! You are not responsible for everyone else!
SourceMost people think they don’t deserve to be happy.
SourceLow self-esteem lets people worry about what others think of them. Don't try to be perfect in your action and reaction. You are perfect as you are.
SourceAtheists say ‘God is only a thought’. But what is wrong with having a good thought?
SourceWhy do gurus want you to switch off your Brain and follow them with the words: Don't think!?
SourceWe don’t need rituals to find God and God will not be especially happy if we do rituals for him. You can find God through love and by being in love, you do the best service to him that you can.
SourceA normal friendship means that sometimes you are a bit less close and sometimes you are closer again. You may have different opinions on topics but can still be friends. That is what is normal.
SourceWhy are holy religious scriptures full of violence and blood?
