I keep thinking a lot about minimalism and what it means to me.
Minimalism is some kind of simplicity. It means to reduce all unnessessary things in order to have space for the important.
Right now i am happy with everything i own or have and don’t want to have more stuff.
That means a lot to me. It makes the things i have so usefull, cause i also try to find out what i don’t need for the quality of my life.
I am on the path of minimalism and so far it makes me feel kind of rich. Yes, i don’t need a great car to make my life usefull. Right now i even don’t need any car.
Life is simpler if you have less stuff.
Minimalism is not focused on stuff but on everything in your life. But reducing stuff and think twice before bying something is an easy start into minimalism.
Think about what you don’t need and get rid of it.
We use to have lots of stuff. We want it, we buy it, we have it.
Generations before us did never have this amount of things like we own today.
And there is nothing wrong with having as much stuff as you want.
But…Do you think that the stuff you posess makes you happy? Or do you think it gives you security?
I also had a big wishlist in my head of “nice to have’s” And even if I never would buy it, it was still in my head.
I realised that wanting more of things you don’t have makes you wanting to have even more stuff if you get them.
On the contrary, to reduce your stuff and wanting less gives you the opportunity to proof to yourself that you don’t need all that stuff, that you don’t even want to buy more stuff, but instead give your friends and family and your actions you are truely passionate about more time and energy.
That leads to a Life where you don’t need that Big-Money-Job but instead work on a job that you truely love.
You will realise that the things you own are enough which makes you feel kind of rich, cause you have everything you need already.

If you walk.
On a path…
.. you have chosen.
Remember

counts.
Do one step today!
In order to post regularly, it’s necessary to stick to a schedule.
I try to keep it and post every Monday and Thursday.
My dream is to write every single day and then have enough to post on those two days. The best thing would be, to have several articles and then only post the best and maybe develop the others further.
Right now I’m writing this article with only 5 minutes to go. It’s more important for me to write regularly than not to write at all but only dream of writing perfect article.
So if you know whats important to you and to keep your blog alive, just do that. Everything else may develop later and I’m looking forward to have more time to write to bring my articles one level further.
But at this moment in time I’m just happy with what I created.
“Life is not in the past, nor in the future, it’s in the presence.” – ar
Right now, I’m sitting at a table of a Cafe in fresh air. It’s a wonderful sunny day. I’m sitting here with my MacBook in the shadow, listening to music. I love to write, ’cause today i’ll post a new article to my blog, this one.
I love these moments. They remind me that Life is one wonderful thing. It’s important to celebrate them. I love to be right here, sitting at this very table writing.
Not all moments in my Life are like this lovely relaxing and productive moment. But I can create them. I call this the Art to enjoy Life.
Sometimes you get distracted by so many things in Life. And then you have no time or take no time for yourself. This time I’m having right now makes me feel like it’s my time. It’s not just relaxing but beeing creative and productive. To do something that is worth it -whatever it is- is the key part for having joy. I don’t find joy, sunbirthing for a week even if thouse sunny moments at a lake are just wonderful. I also don’t want to write for hours today. To find joy in this very moment is art. And realising that this moment gives you joy is important.
If I go to the movies, I’m also having joy, but it’s a joy of distraction. There is nothing wrong with it. But it is not replacable with the joy of this moment. I think one should integrate thouse moments in Life whereever possible.
They are the key to a creative mindset.
Right now, I have less than half an hour to write this article. After that I go to work, but want to post it today. It’s one of the hottest days of the year here in Germany and I’m sitting outside, drinking a cup of coffee.
So I decided to write something that is not perfect, but just written.
The ability to write better and more helpful articles will develop over time. I’m shure.
So the key-part of blogging for me is to write on a schedule. I call this the Power of doing. The most important part to keep a blog alive is blogging regulary.
If you write, whether it’s good or bad, but you are on your path to greatness, you’ll succeed.
Keep it simple and do it. Don’t dream of doing it perfect and then not even start.
I wrote tons of words to post a nice article on this blog today. But I didn’t like it. There was no flow.
So I write a new one. This article does not have to be better but it feels more like me.
To write naturally with not too much editing and still having something great to say is my personal dream of writing.
I don’t like to rearrange sentences till the hole article is some kind of thing I don’t like anymore.
Writing should be fun and I think this naturally writing, that feels like speaking makes writing just wonderful.
So feel the flow of writing, it’s important to have as much fun as possible while doing it and never stop. Some people on the planet may like your style. Just be yourself.
Right now my head is full of ideas I want to share with all of you. One of these is the idea of your own path. Every single human has his or her own path to follow. Whether you know it or not you are on some kind of path.
It’s important that the path you follow is what you truly want and makes you happy.
Recently, i keep thinking a lot about how people live there lives and what they do for a living and whether they are happy with it or not.
I also look at my own self and think about where I’m going. I have chosen my path. I like my path.
Yes, there is a path of life -your life-, but also a path you take for a project … like a blog.
If you read older articles of this blog, you’ll notice, that the blog was not started this year, but years ago. I posted some articles with a lot of time between them, always asking myself if the things I talk about are worth it.
But to go back on track – yes also this article is following some kind of path – and i want to talk about my thoughts about the path that I take for this blog.
I’d like to share some ideas, thoughts and stuff with you, that helped me and may help you too. I don’t write for a big audience, but for people like you who like my style of writing and like to connect with me. Even if it’s only one true fan I keep writing for. It’s better to have one true reader I can help than hundreds, who don’t get anything out of my words.
I am fascinated by the idea of minimalism, so that’s part of the path where this blog is heading. What minimalism means for me and what it means for my life or your life is what you’ll read on this blog.
I invite you to follow your own path by joining me. If you decide that this blog may help you to follow your own path, that’s fine, if not, that’s fine, too. It’s your decision.
 Do you really rock your Life? I mean: ROCK? Do you want to rock your Life?
What do i mean when i say: To rock your Life?
Thats the first point: Do you know what rocking your life means for you?
Does it mean, to get the job of your dreams, do the things your love or do party every single night?
You are not satisfied with your current situation, searching for ways how to change something. You want every single day to be a great day. You want to enjoy Life, and give happiness and joy to the people surrounding you? You want to take action and control your life? You don’t know when to start?
- Start today.
- Talk with friends.
- Write about it.
- Change.
I’ll write about life, changing things, getting the power you need and having joy rocking your life in some future articles.
So till then, feel free to talk about how you want to rock your life or how you are rocking your life in the comment section.
No matter how good things work for other people. Maybe they don’t for you.
There are many ways to live your life, to do the things you have to do in a good way, in your own way.
You know the best what keeps you doing things. There are many people around you, who may life their life in a specific way. But it’s not your way. You are in a different situation.
So if you try to find a way to do your things, to motivate yourself for doing things, keep it plain simple. Reduce it to the basics that work for you.
You can rock your life in your own way. Try it!
