Erlebnis Experience
The word experience runs like a red thread through my personal life story. My childhood and youthful memories are about the urge to try things out, to experiment with many things, to approach others without reservation and to take risks. Sitting still, listening and observing how to do it “right” was never my way of acquiring content, actions or movements. My parents, siblings, friends and teachers know what I mean…
Quickly bored by the mere thought of doing “the right thing” or finding the “right solution”, my true strength is revealed in flow. I strive for direct interaction with the environment and my fellow human beings. Although I also integrated the theoretical approach into my toolbox during my studies, I remain a practitioner through and through!
Making mistakes, reflecting and growing on myself has made me what I am today: resilient, tolerant of frustration and equipped with the ability to defer gratification.
I see failure for what it really is: the chance to do better from now on.
For me, the journey is the destination! The journey is what life is all about.

Passion Leidenschaft
I am a passionate person. That doesn’t mean that I like to suffer or long for painful situations. No, not at all! I associate the word with many positive attributes that can be found in all my activities, be it in my private or professional life. I can’t do anything half-hearted. Anything I can’t associate with passion has no place in my life in the long term. I get bored and lose interest…
For me, dedication to or in a particular activity is the best way to stay intrinsically motivated and not lose sight of my goals. This adherence to my values and goals is what sets me apart. Even when it gets painful, I don’t give up!
Of course, reaching for the stars means that you can fall deeply and painfully. The bipolarity of life does not stop at me either. Sorrowful experiences pave my path to the here and now.
How is passion kindled in me? In my pursuit of meaning! To achieve this, I am prepared to search for my mental and physical limits, to reach them and to raise the bar even higher. I strive for more than just bog standard.

Liebe Love
My natural attitude is to meet my fellow human beings with an open heart. We all want to be loved. But those who want to receive love must also give love. Of course, I am not free from prejudice or bias. Nonetheless, joy, affection, interest and helpfulness prevail in me. This has been the case for as long as I can remember.
True love is the death of the ego and therefore unconditional. I do not love out of a conscious decision. Love overcomes me, indeed all of us, without us being able to control or steer it. We forget our personal picket fence as Vera F. Birkenbihl mentioned it (bias/blockages in your head).
Anyone who has never loved will find it difficult to describe love. I think this is exactly what makes love so magical for us. For me, it is a form of powerlessness – a total loss of control. From one moment to the next, I no longer know what is happening to me. I forget myself in the moment, time seems to stand still and I only have this one person in mind.
