Inspiration
(17 Posts)For me there is no greater reward than inspiring others. Inspiration is one of the greatest thing to be able to give and one of the true goals of this blog. It is not easy, because to inspire you, to just make you thinking, to get a new insight or to do something worth doing, I personally have to excel as well. I think inspiration is an important piece of the puzzle to have happiness in life. So here you will find inspirational articles to live life fully and to never give up on life. We also look at the wisdom of the most inspirational people ever and examine the meaning of their past quotes, such as The Buddha, Lao Tzu, Confucius, The Dalai Lama, Mahatma Gandhi or a collection of Zen Stories.
Personal Growth
(32 Posts)The articles on personal growth are about the inner work on yourself, especially on your beliefs, desires, character, values like integrity and personal responsibility. By following the tips of the personal growth category you will build your self-confidence, develop more self-discipline and lay the foundation for a happy, fulfilled and successful life. Because in life we have to grow. And when we grow we get new insights and experiences and we are able to open the doors that were closed before.

Productivity
(24 Posts)How can I personally be more effective in what I do? How can I get more done of the tasks which are important to me? What are my important tasks in the first place? Here are all articles about improving your productivity and defeating the causes that sometimes keep us from getting started and procrastinating instead of doing what we need to do. A core part of productivity is understanding time-management and to have a productivity system that specifically works for you, which can be simple or more sophisticated. First and foremost productivity starts with what to do: in other words with your GOALS. We also look at what other people such as Stephen Covey said about getting things done. Another area is simplicity which is the approach of keeping life simple in order to stay away from unwanted stress and live a life in balance.
Self Improvement
(16 Posts)When you want to make the most of your life, self-improvement is the way to go. For me self-improvement in itself has an important supporting role because it's not giving us meaning, but enhancements to be better at what we set out to do. So self-improvement is all about learning, communicating with others and increasing your abilities in all areas of life: especially your mind by developing your mental focus up to a point of reaching the flow state. Working on your body and your energy level is very helpful as well. Eventually self-improvement will help you to really be the best you can be and to express your full potential.
Spirituality
(14 Posts)The topic of spirituality: Articles about being, living in the present moment (now), being in contact with your soul and realizing that we are one, connected as the greater whole. You find more about growing in consciousness and awareness, possibly through reflection, mindfulness and meditation. You will also find more about the relationship of spirituality and typical values like success, time or mind and ego. Spirituality is all about experience - to experience yourself and to live in the present moment. It is to realize that you are not your mind and to know your own nature as one with being, not through thinking, but through direct experience and realization. Therefore spirituality is not about concepts and ideas and the articles here are merely pointers to the experience. It's much more simple just the felt oneness with what is. The realization of this can be called awakening or enlightenment.
Success
(11 Posts)Success is one of the most desired and respected things in our society. But what is real success? Is it all about money or is success without fulfillment really a failure? Here are articles about creating success in your life and what it takes to be successful. Is it right to follow your passion? What is the right choice for your career? And how can we avoid getting stressed out while trying to climb that mountain of success? Eventually success is not one big thing, it is making the right decisions and taking the right actions on a daily basis.
