Contributions to personal development with a focus on self-reflection, mental strength and practical methods. The aim is to show ways of gaining clarity and coping better with crises.
At a time when many children's books seem fast-paced and are often designed for short-lived effects, it is worth taking a look at works that have been written with real attention to detail. Books that take the time to build a world that not only entertains young readers, but also conveys courage, imagination and inner strength.
This is exactly the kind of book Jana Kollmann writes - an author whose roots, life path and artistic influence are recognizable in every line.
This is not a guide in the traditional sense. You won't find any career recommendations, tables of future industries or tips on the perfect job application here. Instead, it's about something deeper: attitude, orientation and the ability to see clearly - at a time when many things are no longer sustainable.
There are times in life when you feel inside that things can't stay the way they were. Not because you are suddenly dissatisfied. But because you can see that the world around you is changing - and not for the better. Many people today feel this quiet pain. A tugging in the background that won't go away. The feeling that what has been sold to us for decades as "security" has less and less to do with reality.
"You have too much stress."
That's what my dentist said to me when I was being treated for my CMD problems. And my spontaneous answer was one that many people would probably give:
"Yes, what am I supposed to do - I have the stress."
But his next sentence stuck in my head. He just said calmly:
Some decisions are made overnight - others grow slowly. In my case, it was the latter. The idea of leaving Germany and starting a new chapter abroad has been with me for years. But as life goes, something kept getting in the way: Commitments, projects, personal ties - and last but not least, the comfortable familiarity of what you know. But at some point, the moment comes when you feel it:
Now is the time. Now is the time to act.
A kind of essay by Mr. von L'oreot on a possible state tension.
In times of increasing international tensions, a term keeps cropping up in political debates that many citizens hardly know how to categorize: the "State of tension". But what does it mean in concrete terms when this case is established in Germany? And how does the case of tension differ from the better-known case of defense, which is usually associated with an actual war? In order to be able to correctly assess the possible consequences, it is worth taking a sober look at the constitutional situation.
At a time of increasing geopolitical tensions, many people in Germany are wondering what could happen to them in the event of a reintroduction of compulsory military service or a military escalation. Even though general conscription has been suspended in Germany since 2011, the constitutionally guaranteed right to refuse military service with a weapon for reasons of conscience still applies. This article provides a factual overview of the legal basis, the possible target groups, the procedure and the points to be observed, without replacing legal advice in individual cases.
I am writing these lines from a vacation apartment in Pilsen, Czech Republic. It's a simple, clearly structured place. Kitchen, WLAN, a good table to work at. Everything I need - no more, no less. I'm not here because I'm on vacation. I'm also not here to follow a whim or start a new chapter. I'm here because I had to.
