Category: Really nothing
Today I don’t really know what to write in the diary. Nothing very exiting happened. What should I tell you, what could be interesting? It was just a normal day. But maybe this is exactly what is interesting for everybody. I also have something like a daily routine. I have my work, people come for healing sessions and Yashendu and Ramona work together with me on the website, the schedule and whatever has to be done. There is not always something special going on.
On the other hand every day is special and unique as it is. I was very happy to sit on the terrace after dinner and watch and hear how it started raining. It was very nice fresh air and while we were eating some strawberries that Susi, Ramona’s sister had brought, we just enjoyed being together. We had cooked very much and I suggested Andrea to do it in an Indian tradition and to give a part of the food to the neighbours. In India it is very normal to send some food to the neighbours when it is a special dish or if you have a lot. So we went over there and Andrea introduced me and explained the Indian custom. The neighbours were a bit surprised but I think they were happy. This was my day. Not very exciting but still very nice!

How lovely it is to be at peace with a normal day. You don't need something special to happen because life in itself is quite a treat. I think this is all in your perspective... even a very hard day could be looked at with appreciation and joy. We just have to decide how we see things in life. :)

How nice. I love that whenever you can't think of something to write you tell us about friends, family, or food. Love to read it.

How wonderful to share your culture with strangers. Acts of kindness should always be passed around

I bet the neighbors were very surprised that someone they didn't know knocked on their door, also that there was a food offering! How nice to share customs with people, especially when they involve kindness.

The coming generation will not forgive and forget violence in their childhood. If you hit your children, they will not keep a loving relationship with you, so don’t even start it!
SourceAccept yourself as you are. You can follow a good and healthy example but don't go in any competition. You are fine as you are.
SourceWhy do religions make people afraid? If the rules that they put up made sense, they wouldn't need to make others afraid, others would understand it on their own and follow them!
SourcePeople cannot express what they feel. They often do not even really know whether they like something or not. They look at their neighbours and see what their reaction is. Then they can imitate it. Easy.
SourceGive time the chance to heal your sorrows, wounds and pain!
SourceAt some point everybody needs to take his own responsibility and act according to what makes him happy. If you tried to make everyone around you happy, you would never succeed but forget your own fun and joy! You should never make the happiness of others more important than your own happiness, otherwise you will make yourself unhappy – and won’t be able to help others!
SourceHappiness should be our normal state of mind.
SourceDo not feel guilty if you have a certain amount of expectations that you cannot get rid of.
SourceIf you believe that someone whom you are beating could improve in any way through this, you should follow the same rule. After a mistake, go to someone who is stronger than you and ask him to beat you a bit so that you can better yourself!
SourceLove is the soul of our soul. Without it, you can be alive, but your soul is dead. We need love, it is the essence of our essence.
SourceBeating children only creates anger as well as the thought: ‘Okay, now I am small, you are big, let me become big and then we will see!’
SourceSomeone tried justifying all gender differences by saying ‘god made women different’, not realizing that it could mean that men are the ones who are different as well.
SourceI love smiling and have the habit of laughing :)
SourceWhy do we kill the joy of the presence with thinking of the past or worrying about the future?
SourceGanesha and Spiderman - in a child's mind two equal superheroes!
SourceMany times relationships fail because there is no physical closeness. A relationship doesn’t work over phone or over internet. A lot of people try but our human nature is that you need someone close to you for a real connection.
SourceYou don’t need a church or temple to pray and get in touch with god.
SourceIf I am god, you are god and we all are god, whom are you preaching to?
SourceSoul, energy, love, essence, prana and god are synonyms for me.
