Yes+ with Krishi

The Yes+ course started a few days ago, today is the last day of the course actually.
We shortened it to 5 days, we started on friday and it has been a wonderful ride so far.
I'm really starting to feel it, this teaching thing. When I was in Mainz and Freiburg I was still having doubts whether this was gonna be a thing for me, but now I'm really looking forward to keep doing this for another 6 months. I'm very excited to see what will happen; a world is opening up to me and it's only the beginning!

The other day I was talking with Iva about what makes this kind of work so beautiful. She didn't understand how one could be a full-time teacher; basically telling the same story to people every time. Then I told her that it's more about giving something to people that is truly valuable and watch how they grow, loosen up and become that person who they really want to be; who they really are by nature. Yesterday I asked Krishi about this and he confirmed what I thought to be true. The most important motivation as a teacher in general is simply helping people, teach them something and see how they grow by applying the knowledge that you're giving them.
That is why this work is so beautiful; you can make a big change in someone's life, you can give that which someone has been waiting for so long.

Iva won't join my little adventure; she's going to New York in the beginning of 2010. Man, time flies. I still remember 2000, when everyone thought all the computers which were not 'millenium-proof' were gonna crash. What a joke. Anyway, we'll be seperated in a few months so I'll see how things will turn out. Life can be like a factory; you put some stuff in, then alot of processes happen that you don't understand or aren't even aware of, and then something comes out and you're like "Wooow!". It's better to enjoy this than to reject the outcome of things. After all, it has already happened, you might aswell accept and enjoy it for what it is instead of being annoyed for what it is not. Besides, most things in life are small, it is nothing more than our judgement that can bring us down; "Oh no I don't like this, and now I feel bad :(". It's hilarious!

One of the things I've been thinking about is going to New York myself when I'm done with CLP. I'll just go there, work a bit and get to know the city. Then I'll orientate myself and choose something to study there while building up a network for my music business. I also have the idea that exploring the underground hip hop scene of the Big Apple would be a good opportunity to destroy my ego by doing rap battles. I can imagine it's almost as effective as learning the game of picking up women, which is also very good for destroying the ego.

Why I'm so obsessed with this? Simple; the ego is that which keeps us from having total confidence. Ego and confidence are opposites and trust me, ego brings misery, alot of misery. People with big ego's may seem happy because they are so sure of themselves, but eventually they will see that they are not who they think they are. It's at that point that confidence starts to take shape, because you know who you are, and nothing what you do or what other people say will change that. Then self amusement comes; you'll have fun making yourself look ridiculous. Whoever said that it's stupid to laugh hardest about your own jokes was wrong; it's the best to laugh hardest about your own jokes, but only when it's genuine. This is confidence, and since the self is always coming through, it doesn't matter how stupid you appear to be because everyone will know that you are just a mass of confidence which is indestructible; you actually show your solidity by making fun of yourself.

Anyway, enough of that, I could go on for hours and someday I will! Because I want to create my own empowerment seminar especially for men. So today is the last day of the course and it's gonna be alot of fun! After that me and Iva were thinking of going to Freiburg; at the moment we're contacting our network to see if we can expect some help there.
Cya later alligator!
