INSPIRATION
Wolfgang says some
people in powerful
positions always
want to exercise
their power over
others by instilling
fear. He describes
fear as;
F-false
E- evidence
A- appearing
R-real.
He quotes one
of William
Shakespeare’s
masterpieces;
“nothing is good or
bad, but thinking
makes it so.
training on Early Childhood Education. It
was during this time that I got interested
in mentoring and in training children
(for free). I also got into yoga and learned
nursing and meditation. I realized through
all these and as I learned the psychology
of children that all people are children,
regardless of how old they are. Living
in a country where at the time freedom
was restricted, I realized how important
freedom is, how hollow life can be, and
how much people need to be inspired to
live life fully…
He understood early through these
experiences how easy it is to disconnect as
families and how parents can unknowingly
create a rift between themselves and their
children. He also felt the need to make
parents understand how important it is to
create an atmosphere of friendliness and
understanding between themselves and
their offspring in order to build lifelong
and binding relationships.
Wolfgang says some people in
powerful positions always want to exercise
their power over others by instilling fear.
He describes fear as; F-false E- evidence
A- appearing – R-real. He quotes one
of William Shakespeare’s masterpieces;
“nothing is good or bad, but thinking
makes it so.” Fear is an acronym; it is what
you imagine; don’t feed it. If you feed fear,
the consequences will be bad for you. You
should always be confident and happy.
Don’t bother about people who reject you
because you are not like them. Reject evil
and evil people. No one wakes up and says
I will be evil or a loser, or a failure today.
Remember that being happy and fulfilled
is not about what you have, it is about your
peace of mind, it may be challenging when
you have no money, but you must never
allow that to determine your happiness.
Determine who you are, not what you
have. Do not identify yourself with the
external concept of what you are supposed
to be.
Happiness comes from the act of
giving. Do it without expectations,
believe in yourself; affirm that - I am
happy, I have to be happy, I want to be
happy, think along these lines and make
it a physical reality. Create an attitude of
gratitude. Have this fusion approach, it
is like a mirror; when you see it far away,
you imagine you may never reach there;
but if you continue bringing it close to
you, you will eventually come face to face
with it. Indeed you will come face to face
with what you believe in by bringing it
closer every hour every minute and each
waking day. We need to unlearn the
wrong attitudes we have learned. Attract
the positives and do things differently if
necessary. Don’t think; I am not smart
enough, if you want a solution, you can
reconcile and change strategies of how to
deal with it. You then realize you can do
better, you discover your potential, bring
new meaning to your life and embrace
challenge. Look at it this way; a certain
medicine may be bitter, but it may be the
best medicine for you, so take it.
Saying no! In some cases, if you say
no, you give it power and it makes you
powerless. Every time you say it is enough,
you are giving yourself limitations. But if
you say I have to change, the hardest part
is over. Continuously work at what you
want, make it a part of your conscience.
There are times when you may need to
create a new habit; the way you perceive
things; your life must become mindful not
mindless, then you become a participant
in life. The attitude of gratitude is basically
the foundation of all things to come, if
you don’t have this, you may find that
you are living a very narrow life; you
should remember that you are doing it
for yourself but not by yourself. When
you make others happy, you too will be
relaxed and happy. Wolfgang says he sees
people through their attitude of gratitude.
We normally get drowned in our anxiety
and find no solution; you should propel
yourself to a forward motion and whatever
you desire, will meet you halfway.
Everyone has infinite potential. We
all have a mission in life; we are our
strengths and weaknesses and potential.
When it comes to guiding your children,
is important to know where to draw the
line as a parent, in every aspect of their
lives. Parents send children to college
and insist that their children must do
the courses they suggest. Encourage
dialogue with your children at an early
age. Dialogue with your children is critical
if you want them to attain their potential.
Remember, nothing really belongs to you.
This includes what you have and what
you don’t have. My children don’t belong
to me; I should encourage them to be
the best they can be. What is missing in
most parent/child relationships is personal
engagement and personal development.
To reach your potential there are several
steps you need to take. Like a business,
you need a marketing strategy, you need
control, you need to keep the place clean,
you need management skills, you need a
mission and a vision and you must follow
through. There are always rough edges
that you need to smoothen when you want
to be an entrepreneur or to succeed in any
aspect of life.
Change bad habits. If you can’t change
your mind, change the habits of your mind.
You can tell yourself that I am going to
replace this thinking with another way of
thinking. I will improve it until it becomes
second nature. Wolfgang says: “I smile
because I practice it” He visited Nagasaki
(Nagasaki is a Japanese city on the
northwest coast of the island of Kyushu.
It’s set on a large natural harbor, with
buildings on the terraces of surrounding
hills) to re-discover himself and reasons
for the longevity of the people in Japan
and to have some inward thinking. He
discovered that the Japanese try as best
