Fortunately,
We are not alone!
Welcome back to your working place. The annual skinning between the years is finished, definitely, and reality got us back. The Haiti earthquake hauntingly confirms once again that our New Year's pledge and target setting are under reserve of God willing or the Arabic inschallah. Presence shows that small and big disasters, private and social catastrophes can confront us with a totally different reality from one day to another. Those might lead all previous planning ad absurdum out of a sudden and challenge us existentially. However, when misery is huge, the rescuing grows as well, Hölderlin says. That is impressively confirmed by the collective emergency activities of the international community in Haiti. We are not alone - neither overall nor in our small private world. Let's do and hope the best and calculate with the worst. Have a great year

Success by Letting It Go!
We want to be successful. We are ready to do nearly everything for that. We set strategic short-, mid- and long-term goals. We design visions and missions, plans and actions according to our values and priorities. We strive and struggle, we hope and pray. To sum it up: We are ready to do everything to be successful.
However, sometimes we fail - in spite of all strategies, all sweat and good ideas. What's wrong? - Just let it go! It is that easy! Easy? Letting it go - how does it work? Shall we not think any more about our visions, targets and plans? Normally, we just do the opposite, if things not work. However, the more we struggle, the more we fail. Just letting it go might be difficult since we understand it the way of letting it fall down. But that is not meant here. We should not lay down arrow and bow. We should not keep sitting on the couch and do nothing. Instead, we should always make the next step, one after the other. Werner Ablass said: "The more you draw the bow with the energy of your live to hit the mark with the arrow of your desire, if you do not let it go in a certain moment, it never ever will reach the target!"
That is a wonderful analogy showing what is really important. It is the powerful effort of drawing the bow. And then: Letting it go! To let the arrow leave the string and reach its target. And then the very most important: Immediately, take the next arrow from the quiver, draw the bow and focus the target again and let it go. Again and again. That means "letting it go".
I wish you the power to draw the bow, the boldness to let it go and a quiver full of arrows.

...You were deluded if you thought
I should hate life
and fly into the wilderness
because not all of my
budding dreams blossomed...
