\"\"<\/strong>I'm writing a book: The good life.<\/a>\u00a0 Why am I actually writing?<\/p>\n

There are many answers to this question - some of which you can find on Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> discover.<\/p>\n

Two aspects are particularly important to me.<\/p>\n

(My) words move people<\/h3>\n

Yesterday I received a Facebook message:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
I am F. a young man from Syria who spoke to you two years ago; I was still in Turkey waiting for a visa to Germany, you wished me success, thank you very much<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I came to Germany, learnt the language and now I'm in my second semester of medical school.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
In Turkey, at the time when I was afraid that my visa would be refused or that my future and dreams would be jeopardised, I needed the motivation that you once gave me.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
And now you have to say thank you for that.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When I read these words, I can't hold back the tears. 123 words that I wrote - that's all they were - encouraged a person so much that he still remembers them two years later.<\/p>\n

Words have power. Power to give hope. Power to bridge the distance between people. Power to develop new perspectives.<\/p>\n

I write because I hope and trust that I can give life, give courage and entice people out of well-trodden paths.<\/p>\n

I love to learn and inspire<\/h3>\n

My best friend told me yesterday:<\/p>\n

I don't know anyone who reflects on their own life as much as you do and is constantly learning new things that make life better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It's true. My idea of a life well lived is that one day, when it is over, I will stand before my God and say:<\/p>\n

I was the best Kerstin I could be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I've long since given up on wanting to be the best Mother Teresa - she already exists. Or the best researcher, the smartest philosopher. That's not in me.<\/p>\n

I want to fully utilise my gifts, abilities, potential and interests. Whenever I reach my limits, I set off into new territory. Full of excitement about what there is still to discover. I always sense that there is more! I want to discover it!<\/p>\n

And I love efficiency and multiplication\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

New learning costs me something. Sometimes \u201ejust\u201c time. Often also quite a bit of heartache, courage, overcoming fear or release old blockages<\/a>. It's worth it - just for me.<\/p>\n

What's more, I think it's even nicer when other people also benefit from what I have worked so hard to achieve. If they can benefit from the discoveries I make along the way, just as I have been inspired by what others have discovered before me.<\/p>\n

If they are inspired by it - and take off themselves.<\/p>\n

No one has to build all the roads on the path of life themselves. We can give each other gifts.<\/p>\n

That's why I'm writing...<\/p>\n

Question for you? Why do you read what I write?<\/h3>\n

I have the assumption and hope that what I write gives you something. But I would be interested to know what word or words you would use to describe what you get out of it.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your comment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
