			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I keep thinking a lot about minimalism and what it means to me.</p>
<p>Minimalism is some kind of simplicity. It means to reduce all unnessessary things in order to have space for the important. </p>
<p>Right now i am happy with everything i own or have and don&#8217;t want to have more stuff.</p>
<p>That means a lot to me. It makes the things i have so usefull, cause i also try to find out what i don&#8217;t need for the quality of my life.</p>
<p>I am on the path of minimalism and so far it makes me feel kind of rich. Yes, i don&#8217;t need a great car to make my life usefull. Right now i even don&#8217;t need any car.</p>
<p>Life is simpler if you have less stuff. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Think about what you don&#8217;t need and get rid of it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Life is not in the past, nor in the future, it&#8217;s in the presence.&#8221; &#8211; ar</p>
<p>Right now, I&#8217;m sitting at a table of a Cafe in fresh air. It&#8217;s a wonderful sunny day. I&#8217;m sitting here with my MacBook in the shadow, listening to music. I love to write, &#8217;cause today i&#8217;ll post a new article to my blog, this one.</p>
<p>I love these moments. They remind me that Life is one wonderful thing. It&#8217;s important to celebrate them. I love to be right here, sitting at this very table writing.<br />
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. </p>
<p>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&#8217;m having right now makes me feel like it&#8217;s my time. It&#8217;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&#8217;t find joy, sunbirthing for a week even if thouse sunny moments at a lake are just wonderful. I also don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>If I go to the movies, I&#8217;m also having joy, but it&#8217;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.<br />
They are the key to a creative mindset. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Heli by monkeyofhope, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moh/1489586038/"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1338/1489586038_b862864a08_m.jpg" alt="Heli" width="240" height="180" /></a> I am happy to announce, that this website, which is actually a blog is going to restart. There are 4 articles, over a year old. I keep them. I could delete them and start over, but hey, it&#8217;s part of the history and i like them.</p>
<p>The funny part: The second article &#8220;How to reach a goal&#8221; should have been implemented on the goal to have a developing blog. But that didn&#8217;t happen. Old goals may sleep for a while. But hey, never give up, if it&#8217;s still a goal. It&#8217;s still my goal to have a blog i want to write for with fun, connect to people all over the world (thats why it is in english) and i&#8217;m very curious about whats happening with all this.</p>
<p>Till today i only dreamt about having a wonderful blog, a place of ideas and visions and goals shared with the whole world, open to everyone to discuss them, creating something new on the planet. And yes, i had one, a blog sitting on this domain and it was nice to conversate with people. It was in german, but it was kind of personal blog, most interesting for people who know me. I transfered it over to andreas.mobi one year ago, to make this domain free for a big project i would start. To start a wonderfull blog. A blog focused on topics like personal development and reaching your goals, reaching my goals. There are many and many of blogs out there focusing on such topics, and i do really like them. Speaking of Leo Babauta from the fabulous blog <a href="http://zenhabits.net">zenhabits.net</a> or Tim Ferriss, author of the <a href="http://fourhourworkweek.com">4-Hour Workweek</a> . But hey, everyone is different. I have my own story to tell. A story which starts in the present and reachs into the future. I want to take you with me on a travel into the future, and because i&#8217;m writing this articles in a personal view, i invite you into my future. So come on an join my future if you like. New Articles are following soon.</p>
