This is a funny quote right? In the end I want to show you something with this and I hope you understand it once you are finished with reading this page.
Lets go!
I know that life can sometimes feel incredible hard to master and when we try to manage it, everyone suddenly has the best advice on how to do it. The whole web is full of advise like…
‘The 10 best ways to master …” or
‘The 3 habit rule to …”or
“6 steps for …”and
“9 simple things to …” and
“Follow this to get the most out of … ” or
“5 Tips to …” and
“5-4-3-2-1 exercise for …”
Trust me I am not even close to naming them all. Well, are you not tired of all this things people come up with, to make life ‘the best’ and live it in ‘the right way’..?
I am. All this rules: Do this, but do not do that. Behave like this but not like that and if you want to be successful say this but not that. Uff..
I think, it is not about giving rules. We already see this behaviour in children: rules don’t work! What works is to empower each individual and create an understanding so that in the end you do something because you want to and not because you get told to. I really believe in us humans but, you have to believe too. So that at some point we are all able to create our life in exactly the way we want.
“It is about educating, about teaching and about understanding, not about giving you rules on ‘how to live your life”.
It is your life and therefore it is your own decision how to life it, I simply want to give you some advise on how to understand, see and overlook things when you are deciding your path and I have 4 things to beginn with:
1. “It is 100% your life and therefore you decide.”
I can see you roling your eyes for this sentence but be honest. Isnt it true?
You are born and at some point you die.
The time in between birth and death you are alive. You can decide to finish your life or you live it until life decides to end it. Until one or the other, your life is formed by your actions, your words, and your thoughts.
Never forget that it is you who decides. Sometimes people forget that and this can become very dangerous.
2. “Don’t let anyone scare you“
Look, in these times (we are living in the year 2026), not many things can kill you right away. You are quite tough as a human even tho you might not feel like it (anymore./ Due to modern lifestyle?).
Well, sadly people tend to scare others to make them follow, to keep them silent or to make them behave in a certain way (I am very honest here and: I hate this). I believe in freedom and I think each of you has the right to feel free in this world!
As long as you don’t hurt anyone (including yourself), you can do whatever you want! No need to follow anyone.
3. “Never stop educating yourself“
Do you understand that you are super super smart? Yes you! (well and me, and your neighbour and your dad..). Yes, smart!
There are incredible many different kinds of being smart! You know, each of us has their own way of being smart but that doesnt mean that if you can’t learn a language you are stupid. You get that no? Well, let me (just to be 100 % sure we are on the same page) tell you about it a tiny bit deeper. Let me give you an idea:
DIFFERENT WAYS OF BEING SMART:
Adaptability smart, Aesthetic smart, Analytical smart, Attention-management smart, Behavioral smart, Bias-aware smart, Big-picture smart, Bodily-awareness smart, Bodily-kinesthetic smart, Brain-based smart, Boundary-setting smart, Business smart, Business-strategy smart, Cognitive-flexibility smart, Communication smart, Conceptual smart, Contextual smart, Creative smart, Critical-thinking smart, Cultural smart, Decision-making smart, Design smart, Digital smart, Emotional smart, Empathic smart, Entrepreneurial smart, Environmental smart, Ethical-reasoning smart, Existential smart, Expressive smart, Financial smart, Imaginative smart, Information smart, Innovative smart, Interpersonal smart, Intrapersonal smart, Intuitive smart, Judgment smart, Learning smart, Leadership smart, Linguistic smart, Logical smart, Mathematical smart, Media smart, Metacognitive smart, Moral smart, Musical smart, Naturalistic smart, Organizational smart, Pattern-recognition smart, Performance smart, Philosophical smart, Practical smart, Problem-solving smart, Psychological smart, Rhetorical smart, Risk-assessment smart, Scientific-thinking smart, Self-regulation smart, Sense-making smart, Social smart, Spatial smart, Strategic smart, Systems-thinking smart, Tactical smart, Teaching smart, Technical smart, Technological-literacy smart, Temporal smart, Theoretical smart, Time-management smart, Tolerance smart, Translational smart, Value-based smart, Visionary smart, Visual smart, Vocational smart, Wellbeing smart, Willpower smart, Wisdom-oriented smart, Work-ethic smart
We are more than 8.000.000.000 (Eight Million) people living on this planet, of course there is not only one way of being smart.
It is the same principle that, even tho many people mainly know the orange carrot, there is not only 1 type of carrot in this world. “..there are over 500 distinct varieties of the cultivated carrot worldwide” (source: https://carrots/).
Being smart also is to understand that everyone else is smart aswell + to accept that noone can know everything and that this is fine.
So, you got a body, use it! There are no limits! Learn, grow and age. It feels good. It’s important. You simply have to find out which smart is yours.
Alright, ready for the last one? Lets go!
4. “Sharing is caring”
‘The things you are smart about, it is important to share that!‘
“Why?”
Because, we need all different types of smart! We need every single brain in this world. They shape the time, they write history and they make this planet colourful and unique. We need everyone the same not everyone to be the same.
We need all the different types of brians and all the different types of carrots! Once we forget this… once we forget about being special and unique this world will stop being wonderful. Imagine one day we only have one type of human because we make everyone the same. I hope you can understand that this would be a big problem. And that…
... it is crucially important to keep every single individual alive and therefore continue learning, growing and sharing your very own mind!
Do not worry. There is no need to share your mind with the whole world, you do not need to write a blog or create video content. It is enough to simply share with the people around you. You will see, the people will share something back in exchange and this circle can feel wonderful. It is, of course, (again) your own choice with who you share, and therfore what you get back .. but just make sure you share.
Personal last note:
I wish for us humans to understand that sharing is not only about physical things (like food, water, shelter or money) but it is also about knowledge, thoughts, ideas, opinions, care and love. I wish for us to have the mindset to understand that, we can also share without giving something materialistic.
I truly believe that each of us has the power to be great and if you do not harm anyone (including yourself) and share your mind with others you are already great! And that, this is simply enough for a humanlife.
In doubt or other matters, free to always reach out to me.
Best, Wanda
