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!

To focus on the right thing is very important.
Why?
Because if you don’t really know what to focus on, you end up doing nothing but waiting for the right moment. When does this moment come? The answer?
Never. There is never a moment as good as now, to decide what to focus on.
One example is this blog. I started it at this domain monkeyofhope.com at February 1st 2008 (where my german blog was located, which is now at www.rilinger.com/de.) Thats two years! Two years since i startet my blog back in 2008. I had great visions on it. I wanted to blog and blog and blog and rock the internet. I thought “Life” would be a good topic. And yes it is. Life is all about Life. I want to give the reader something worth reading and i want to write something i like to talk about. The thing is. I love it all. I read a lot of blogs. I read how to become a professional blogger, how to get readers and i always read that just producing good content is the main part for a successful blog. That’s partly true. The most important part of anything to focus on is: Just do it. Do it. Don’t always think about how to get better, how to be perfect. No! I think the development to a good writer is something that is far away.
The focus should be on: Do it, no matter how badly.
That said, i want to produce good content on this blog. Something worth to talk about. But be aware, my english is not perfect. And as silly as it is: Sometimes i only think about my english and that i can’t write like a native speaker and writer and because of this i don’t write anything. But hey. It’s better to write something in a bad english than not to write it. Not writing it means: Beeing afraid of making a mistake.
I’m ready.
I’m ready to make any language mistake in history, so feel free to give me advice. I listen to you.
I just want to do it, no matter how badly.
Every new year seems to be the beginning of something new. So does this year. The numbers 2 0 1 0 i just like. This year is great. Every Year seems to be greater than that before. So this time i do not write about the things that may happen this year, but i write about them while they are happening.
I want to share with you something. I want to share with you a part of my life, some thoughts that come to my head. Some interesting ideas. Some new philosophy and mayby some philosophical views of life.
To be honest, i want to share with you a lot, but as you know. This is the Internet. I am not as free as I am as I write for myself. What I write here should be printable in the newspapers, live on CNN. To write something on the Internet which is not good to be known by hundred and thousands of people than the Internet is the wrong place for it.
Yes, the Internet gives something like anonymity, but this anonymity is no real one.
Thats enough for now. More of my thoughts will follow someday soon.
I love to get up early.
A new day is born. All is fresh, all is new. There is so much time in this wonderful new day. A day is like a little life. And if those days and little life’s are concatenated they become my life. And of course there are more things that make my life great, but one of it is definitely a wonderful morning. Without a great start, i miss something over the day. Right now, i listen to music, while writing these lines. I feel very good. I am energised to go to work, what i have to do soon.
An early morning is one wonderful moment in a day. And there are more wonderful moments. What if all these little wonderful moments where manifested in every single day? What if it where possible to create those moments every little life (every day)? And I think it is possible. I definitely want those moments. Sometimes great moments just appear out of nothing. And I think to have more of those moments, the start of the day is essential. That’s why I love the morning of my little life: Today.
At first it sounds quite easy for me to be myself. To be exactly what I am. To feel: Hey that’s me. But it’s not always easy.
First of all you have to listen to yourself, what you want, what you love, what you like. But that’s too much to write about here, so today I want to focus on being myself in writing.
Writing can be a thing that gives joy and happiness to my soul, cause being creative and generating some new shiny sentences is just wonderful. But it’s not always easy. During writing for the Web I often think how it is to be the reader of my articles. So I start seeing my articles through the eyes of other people.
- You may think “Yeah good point, focus on the readers.” But i tell you to do the opposite. Just focus on yourself, on writing for yourself. You should like your own writing at first. Be your own fan. -
And then I focus on myself, focus on the thoughts in my head, feeling the inside stream of information flowing from my brain right to my fingers. Sometimes the thoughts create words -magically- in front of my eyes. Thouse are the moments, that I love on writing. Words create themselves. Me reading them live. Thinking. And wondering.
I think it is automatically after a while that my writing style and the topics of my articles are loved by my readers, cause readers who love them come back.
It’s better to have 10 readers and I write what and how I want it than to have 100 and I don’t feel being myself. To develop my own lovely writing style it’s a long way I think. But the most important reader should have fun reading my articles: myself.
So be your biggest fan, write for yourself, be yourself. Your audience will find you.
“Hello World! I want to be a writer.” is what i postet on twitter today.
It’s what i truly want. It feels very good by thinking about beeing a writer. It feels better than anything else i can think of, that i could be. And that for a few reasons
1. I love to write.
2. I love people who do it.
3. I love to produce something.
By writing down this reasons it feels good inside, healthy, healing. It feels as if writing is made for me and not I for writing.
I wonder why i have not explored it before and i know why. Because i have not thought of it as a real dream. I thought it was possible to be a good writer but i thought that there would be something else for me to make money from. The fact is, that i don’t think in terms of making money in the first way, when i think of writing. It’s just the thing i want to do most.
One other reason why i have never startet to become a writer is the fact, that i have never been one. Yes of course, i have written some articles, i had the best fun of my life in school with writing. But that are not reasons for not to write but for writing. Yes, i have never developed a “writing habit” as some people would name it, but thats no reason for not to begin. I love writing. Thats a reason to start with. If I had a successfull blog, or if i would write everyday, i already would be a writer. And yes, i’m not a writer right now, but i want to become one. I want to be one. From the bottom of my heart.
