The unreal truth that stops us from playing small.

Lisa is crying. And she is not the only one. Her colleague Mona is tearing up too.
They knew it was coming. Even though they tried to ignore it. 

But let´s go back 16 years. When they first met, they didn´t like each other.
Lisa was already working at the company when Mona joined.

The ‚new’ one was a bit too pushy in Lisa´s opinion. And she was talking a lot.
But pretty soon it turned out, that Mona was a sister from another mister.
And vice versa.

A wonderful relationshp flourished. They have had a great time together.
Whether it´s in business or in private. They loved to work with their lovely peers.

„Everything comes to an end“ they say. While Lisa and Mona are crying togehter,
they realise that this is the end. Today is their last day at work. The company will close it doors. 

This all being history right now, makes both feel very sad. 
The same goes for some of us, when:

• friends move away forever
• you loose a loved one
• a relationship ends
• your kids move out

You know it´s coming. But when it happens, you are overwhelmed.
Maybe it´s sadness. Maybe it´s guilt. Maybe it´s some kind of victim mentality.

But there is a benefit being in these situations.
Being deeply connected to your feelings makes you aware of this unreal hope.

THE HOPE OF INFINITY

Although you wish that things will stay the same, you know it´s an illusion.

 - you know that your body is aging - all the time. 
 - your kids are growing up - every day.
 - your Environment is changing - constantly.

Nothing will ever stay the same. 

While you go through some "life is finite" experience,
you suddenly realize, that you will be gone too. Soon.

Now stop reading and stay with your feelings.
Only for a minute.

Observe what´s coming up.

Get aware of the messages that your heart is sending to your mind.

Write them down.
Go explore them.
Follow your heart.
As long as it is still keeping you alive. 

Please
stop waiting
for
better times.

They won´t come
by itself.

Better times
are created
today.

Stop complaining about your parents or your partner. Because when they are gone and you can´t talkt to them anymore, your regrets will eat you up.

Stop hiding behind your masks of perfection, because when you are laying on dead bed, you will deeply regret that you didn´t show up fully to life, to your partner, to your kids.

While I am writing this I am beginning to cry. These words touch my soul deeply.

Because
you and I
will be gone
some day.

So please step up your game. Be brave and speak you inner truth.

• Whether you just want to say „I love you“
• Whether you wanna say sorry to someone.
• Whether you just want to say „Thank you“ to a loved one.
• Whether you want to have a deep conversation with someone.

Act bold now. It´s the way to have no regrets today.
