I feel so guilty…..

Of not writing anything in such a long time but so many things has changed.

After we decided to move back to Europe, Germany to be exact, a lot of things had to be set in motion. It started from: what do we have to do to take the dog with us same as how do we get the dog over? To the next important thing : Finding a place to stay to deciding whether to sell everything or to take the things we want and to pay for a container …and the list goes on .

I am sure you moved at least once in your live so just double the stress factor when you think about me trying to arrange our move across the ocean and you know how I felt:)

But to most people’s and our own surprise things just went as they were planned this way – by someone higher up I guess- and we took it as a sign that this move is just for our best.

Since two months now I am back in Germany and I cannot believe how much I enjoy it- even the cold:) and I am sure that I am the only German greeting every foreigner passing my way after experiencing to be a foreigner in another country and I don’t consider that a bad thing.

I am surprised how much living in a foreign place has changed my outlook on life in general. I am certainly not the same person that left Germany nine years ago and I don’t think I would be who I am today without that experience….and it feel’s great to be me !!

Now, after finally being settled in, I will try to post more often about my personal and business musings until then …

Take care

Too old to make changes ??

I got inspired for this topic by a post on XING, which is btw a great Networking place ….

When are you too old to make changes in your private or business life ? Is there any limit at all ?

I say : NO , the only thing which might hold you back in your old tracks is most probably fear.

If you wake up and you have stomach cramps just thinking about going to work because you don’t like the job, the co-workers etc . I say its time to make a change

If you are not happy in your relationship, don’t stay just for fear that no one else might come along – try to learn to love your own company. There is nothing more appealing in anyone no matter whether you are a woman or a man than being happy and confident in your own skin.

There is no age limit nor a limit of trying when you go for a change. The most interesting people are those who tried to go for their dreams , those who overcame their fears . They felt down in between and got up again – Those people know now there is nothing to be scared off. They trust their abilities and don’t care about what others might have to say. Those are the people who will succeed in their quest eventually!

So you might not succeed in your next job or relationship …so what ? There are so many other options out there .

Think about what you really want – no matter in which area. Make a list with all you want either in your job or in your personal life and make a list with all you don’t want .

You will be amazed by how much things are coming on your mind, which you actually do NOT want but still accept .

Just remember ...Life is too short to ignore it! ”No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change”. … Barbara De Angelis
