I am a dreamer. Not in the sense of detachment from reality but in the sense that I am a great believer in the power of imagination, creativity and dreams and that everything is possible and achievable with the proper decisiveness and commitment. Indeed I am a dreamer, relentlessly optimistic, and appreciate my limits. Using […]

The question of the questions in coaching very often is: What is my calling? What I’m very good at? So, for example, with my philosophical approach, I asked someone today: Are you a hedgehog or a fox? There is a line among the fragments of the Greek poet Archilocus that says: “The fox knows many […]

Grow through adversity and what we can learn from lobsters. I was inspired by Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, MD (A lifelong Process Growing up) when writing this text. The lobster is a soft mushy animal that lives inside a rigid shell. The rugged body does not expand as the lobster grows. And how does the […]

From the Egg to the Chick
premium
Growing inner strength and breaking the surface with the egg and the chick analogy. In an egg, the hard part is on the outside, the shell, and the soft part is on the inside (the white and the yolk). The shell prevents the liquid it contains from slopping out before a chick has had time […]

On being natural
premium
Naturalness is the key to your true spark. Naturalness enchants without costing anything. Without striving to appear different or better, being true to yourself simplifies life. Some people live every day to please others with the only goal to offer the world a perfect image of themselves. For them acting naturally or spontaneously is a […]

Zuerst wünsche ich euch allen ein frohes Weihnachtsfest! ⭐ Danke, dass Sie meine Beiträge lesen. Mit meinem Beitrag möchte ich Sie ermutigen, einen anderen Blickwinkel einzunehmen, das alte Auge der Wiederholung zu verlassen und Ihren Blick zu weiten wie ein Samenkorn, das im Stillen neue Früchte hervorbringt.

Are you an egg or a potato?
premium
“The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg.” We study successful people because we want to get their results. But those results depend on the context, indeed, and what they did in that context. And what they have done, choices and actions is an expression of who they are of their uniqueness. […]

Comparison: A fatal poison…
premium
First, we must understand what this comparison? The comparison is an unconscious alibi for not taking the situation in hand: one prefers to see everything perfect in others and everything wrong in oneself, rather than face the coexistence, in one’s reality, of positive and negative aspects, of good periods and moments of crisis.

When we feel hurt by someone or when a situation makes us feel sad, the risk is to choose between these two erroneous responses: Reacting immediately denying the problem so as not to be seen as weak: However, in doing so, we do not give the inner world time to go through the natural stages […]

Self-esteem and Self-respect
premium
As the famous Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote, respect and self-esteem have a powerful link: -“If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect, will you compel others to respect you”. Self-respect has three qualities: self-esteem, assertiveness and authenticity. Self-esteem, if we want […]

We all fall victim to victimism and become suspicious, sceptical and discouraged, but the more we complain, the more lonely and stressed we feel. “That’s it, I don’t trust anyone anymore”; “As soon as you give this much, everyone takes advantage”; “I don’t believe in good faith any more”; “When I really needed something, everyone […]

During a session, one of my clients says: “Lately, I often wonder if my mind is getting old, I constantly repeat the same things and what I do is always familiar. There are not many things beyond known in my life. I know my self very good; respectively, I know exactly how my character is”. […]
