I would like to write a little bit more about the idea that everybody could find a profession and job that he likes.
In Germany Ramona explained me the school system there: after primary school, there are three kind of branches of school which have different length. One finishes after eight years and many of the children then make an apprenticeship in handicrafts, at a bakery or a hairdresser for example. The second one finishes after ten years and many of these teenagers become clerks or work in administration or also do different apprenticeships. The third one is the longest, for twelve years, and after that many young adults go to university and college to have an academic career. Of course there is a possibility for other ways, too, and in each school you can select already in a way which direction you would like to go or what you would like to learn but that was the main and rough structure as it was explained to me.
So that seems to be the right idea but it we still have to find the right way of implementation because still there are so many people who are not satisfied. I tell you this from Germany because I know it from there but I have heard the same complaint in other countries, too and think it is a worldwide problem.
In my opinion a person who wants to dance and teach dancing to others does not need to learn high mathematics. Of course it is necessary to know the basics and it is always good to have general knowledge but only those people should go deep in this who really enjoy it. I know that there are people who enjoy the numbers just in the same way as there are people who like to teach sports and others who like it when things get clean. People who love to sit in front of a microscope the whole day and make discoveries of little beings that nobody else sees should also not have to be forced to learn singing, it is just not necessary!
We need to find a way that everybody can do that what he likes. And it starts with you! Make a beginning, find out what you want and have the courage to go that way. I can tell you that you will be most successful if you do something that you like.

Many people feel that they do not have a choice in what they do when they do. This feeling comes from fear, not from lack of option. And the fear would go away if the choice was made to do what you love. Also many people do not have a choice. They have to survive and they are materially bound to their occupation. Happiness can be found anywhere. It does not matter what you do even though this can be easier to realize when you do what you love. Joy is there for everyone.

Many people shy away from doing what they love for fear they won't make enough money. This is a big mistake, as happiness is infinitely more important than money.

Happiness is more important than money, that is right and I believe if you do things that make you happy, you will always have enough. As the saying goes: Money does not make you happy! If you do something that you love, money is also not that important anymore.

Isn’t it strange that it is offending if a normal person shows his genitals in public while religious men get worldwide fame for it?
SourceLove is the most therapeutic energy.
SourceYou are loveable, lovely and loving. You don’t need to do any change to yourself to please another person. You don’t need to play a role or wear a mask. This world is so big and there are so many different people in this world that it is normal if a few don’t agree with you or don’t like you. Stop comparing and just be yourself.
SourceWith children it is easy to have an emotional connection because they understand the language of emotions better than the language of intellect. If you talk to them with intelligent words, definitions and facts, they won’t understand you. If you reach out to them with love and happiness, you establish an emotional bridge in between you and them.
SourceBe honest, even if you know the other one won't be happy about your answer!
SourceSome people don't want to accept that what they believe in is a religion. It is a sign of bad conscience because of religion's control and manipulation. But calling it a 'way of life' does not change it!
SourceStrangely enough, communication works better with different culture and language!
SourceIf you don’t have hopes, dreams and expectations you won’t be happy. Dream, hope, let your imagination fly and simultaneously use your brain, hands and feet in order to make your dreams become reality!
SourceMost people are focused on the body. Understand that you are not only the body.
SourceSwami means master or owner and I believe that I did not give any religion or guru the ownership of myself. I am my own master and owner and in this way I believe there is nothing wrong if I keep the ‘Swami’ in front of my name. And if you are free from any foreign master, I would not object if you did the same.
SourceIn this age and time, people don’t even have time for themselves, so if someone takes out time to strengthen your friendship, it is great, appreciate it.
SourceAll Gurus like to say ‘Money is bad and you should not keep it. Give it to me.’ That is how they are rich. Is that their wisdom?
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t think that women are less intelligent, inauspicious and less worth than men, as it is written in every religion’s books.
SourceHuman is just a puppet in a big play. You think you are in charge but there is something bigger than you. Nature, god, the universe, however you want to call it. Even if you know your body, you don’t have full control over it. Nobody knows when, what can happen. Nobody can predict anything.
SourceMaking an effort to make your loved one happy makes you happy. This is love: you want to make your beloved happy.
SourceWhen there is Love, you don't count Faults and Mistakes!
SourceFighting your ego - a continuous struggle with yourself?
SourceWe should not say doing Yoga, but being in Yoga. When your soul wants to connect and unite with its source.
SourceBeauty is not about physical appearance. We are not only the body, there is a soul and a beautiful soul is much more important than figure, colour or shape.
SourceTrust in yourself and have confidence. You don't need anyone who makes you afraid with stories of a past life or makes promises for the future. Live in presence and have trust in your love.
