I recently recognized that it is a shame that I could visit my family members (I am talking about grandmoms and aunts and uncles) more often than I actually do, when I am in their vicinity. It gives me so much being around them and listening to their stories. I don’t want to have to look back and say “I wish I would’ve visited them more often when they were still alive” one day and I also don’t want to miss out on relatives that may be totally genius but too far away to be reached.
And that’s why I am reaching out soon myself and organize a big family meeting with all the close and less close relatives to get all in one big room and see what happens. I also would like to settle some long lasting fights that came out from nowhere. I know that’s a different kettle of fish and could be parlous but I just can’t watch it anymore and think it shouldn’t be like that…

Some call it a mission statement, others their passion or purpose. I want to write down what I want to do, what to achieve in life and who to be or become. I think it’s important to think about the important things in life on a daily basis and try to get a routine in doing and acting on those goals.

Lies tend to get uncovered and then are worse than being honest in the wrong moment. To lie doesn’t only make me feel bad about my integrity but also about the way I treat people and want to be treated. It’s always hard to be honest and sometimes it might be better for another one to get lied to (to not hurt his/her feelings for example). But in the end, there’s always a way of saying it in a nice® way without bending the truth. And even if there are disadvantages for the people not lieing – it just feels so good to have such strength and high aims!
And by starting to be honest to myself (not an easy thing either), be clear about the things I want, it’ll be much easier to be honest with others as well and don’t have to explain myself to others that much anymore.
