In this post I want to share 3 things which had a very big and positve impact on my life so far. There are many, many others of course which influenced me in a good or bad way but you need to start somewhere, right?
I had to grief for friends and family members, but probably nothing hit me like the suicide of my father.
In a weird way death is a good thing to encounter. It ripped me out of my state of mind, showed me nothing is forever or I should take it for granted.
A reminder that we are not here forever and should make our stay here count.
After every death of sombody close to me, I could not help myself but took a very close look at my life.
The everyday routine got me sooner or later again, but I never felt so thankful or full of fire to fulfill my dreams after encountering death.
But I noticed how I was way happier when I went training regular and consistent.
I know this is something I have to battle with a lot : concestincy and not 1 week of throw myself totally in it and than do nothing again for the next 3 weeks.
The people I have met, the training, the view on the world outside of my usual fishtank, it all changed my view on life and my dreams to this day.
This post is also a test. I will throw every booster I know at it, to see how much this will influence the success of the post.(messed it up already....)
Sorry to hear about the loss of your father. That must have been real tough!

Der Tod meines Schwiegervaters, im letzten Jahr hat uns auch sehr aus der Bahn geworfen, und er hat mir auch gezeigt, das eigentlich alle anderen Dinge die man für wichtig erhält, in Wirklichkeit völlig nebensächlich sind.
Wir versuchen jeden Tag, uns auszusprechen und ohne irgendwelche Streitigkeiten ins Bett zugehen.
Denn man weis nie ob der andere der neben einen im Bett liegt, den nächsten Morgen wieder erwacht.
Man sollte jeden Tag genießen, denn niemand weis ob es der Letzte sein wird.
Danke für deinen Beitrag...ich wünsche dir noch einen schönen Restsonntag, mein Freund :)

Ja, da hast du vollkommen recht.
Ausgelutschte Sprichwörter wie "Lebe jeden Tag als wär es dein Letzter"hört oder liest man halt so oft da sie wahr sind :-)
Denke ihr habt da eine gute Einstellung. Habt ihr das davor schon gemacht oder kam das durch den Tod deines Schwiegervaters zustande?

Das haben wir vorher schon so gelebt, nur durch den Tod, hat es sich nur noch mehr gefestigt.
Ich muss sagen wir sind auch sehr Harmonie gebürtige Menschen, zumindest was das untereinander angeht.
Ich persönlich habe aber durch dieses Erlebnis schon große Verlustängste, das meiner kleinen Familie etwas passieren kann.
Denn bei meinem Schwiegervater ging es auch sehr schnell, er war erst 62 und gesund, drei Monate vor seinem Tod war er beim Check up da war alles ok...und dann fällt er von heute auf Morgen um Herzinfakt.
Und das hat mir gezeigt dass, das Leben zu kurz ist um sie ständig zu streiten...

Hmm...die Verlustängste sind bestimmt etwas bedrückend.
Aber das Aussprechen finde ich sehr gut.
Ja, streiten ist n vielen Fällen ein Zeit und Energiefresser.

Wow i cannot describe the picture. It speaks itself. Beuatiful stages of life that we should always cherish no matter what. And i am sorry to hear that. I personally feel that we should be happy and live in the moment! Then nobody can betray us or let say when we are strong nothing can chase us. I love your content. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Much love from my side 💜

Very nice post buddy. Very touching and down to the core.
We don't open up so often here on Steemit, but when people do I appreciate it.
Death can definitely be something that can jolt us into taking taking action and making sure that we do something with our life.
If there is nothing bad in life there is nothing good, if there is no sadness there won't be any happiness, there has to be a contrast in order for us to be able to see things clearly and to appreciate life.

Yes, there needs to be some balance and you can even find good in death.

That is true I completely agree with you ! I had a very close call once and it completely changed my life. It was a skiing accident where I went off a cliff. No one saw me fall off, and no one could here me calling for help... anyways long story short. I almost lost my leg and was told I would not be able to run again. 1 year later I was jogging, and another 6 months later I was in the shape of my life and also I felt on top of the world .

That is great to hear man.
Did it last though?
Myself I tend to fall off after reaching new heights which annoys me a lot about myself.

This high lasted for Maybe two years, but it was a good two years for sure. But yea I guess the worst thing we do sometimes is to not accept that life doesn't only go up.. It naturally has to go down sometimes. Some people start fighting it when we feel that we are going down. I think we have to let it happen naturally. It will be faster, maybe a bit more painful. But I believe in ripping the bandage off quickly.
Some people use drugs and alcohol to try to keep feeling this high and we know how it usually ends..
I don't think you should be annoyed about this fact, it's the same for all of us, but after a dip we can continue our way higher again

Great post!
I believe people that have trained a lot in periods need training. It is almost like a drug. You get a bodily high, after training, witch is hard to get in other ways.
Sex will do it, but thats half way training :-/

Yes, training was kind of an addiction at some point. Atm it is a mix of struggle and looking forward to it. But I remember when I was in better shape it was really addictive and I was looking forward to get this great feeling after training.

Good influences. I would say 1 and 3 are influences in my life too, and possibly 2, if workout out is considered a sport lol

I find consistency is a one of those key things for me in many aspects of life. Probably most noticeable in business because people respond very positively to that trait. I try to start off small with anything to then "build" into a consistent routine instead of going all out then sort of falling short long term.
Hope you are enjoying Thailand again I would love to go there and try the food. I have heard many good things about the country but think I would die from heat lol

Yes, I think concistentcy is important in almost every aspect of life, especially in business.
Unfortnately it is not one of my strength but hopfully will be in the future :-)
You get somewhat used to the heat and the food is defenitly worth a trip and then you also have great nature and a great culture to explore.

You have such a wonderful life friend. I am 23 myself and my dream is to travel, yet I'm stuck living in a poor country so its quite hard to make mints meat here.
Also I've had around 3 near death experiences throughout my spiritual practices and it really changes life.
