This book is an insight into a period in my life that was very
intense. Each evening, I wrote about the day's experiences and
insights. My daily life was the raw material for the thoughts
and extended understanding that followed. Maybe it is worth-
while to remark that from the beginning, this diary format was
meant for a larger audience. Therefore, I have not written
about the circumstances or situations that led to these writ-
ings. They are not relevant in this context, but I can assure you
that this period was definitely a rough ride—a lot happened,
and not all of it was pleasant or joyous. On the other hand, I
seriously doubt that these writings would have the same feel-
ing and depth without the rich raw material of volatile and
dynamic daily experiences.
The writings have been sorted under a few titles to make
them easier to read. I feel it is important to let the text speak
for itself and transmit the ideas as genuinely as possible. Since
the material for this book was written within a relatively short
period of time, the various topics are partly interlinked and
also implicitly referred to, but it is not necessary to follow the
suggested order.
This was my exploration for the harmony and tranquility
that await everyone. They are with us at all times—we just
have to reach for them. There is no better time to start than
right now. The busier your life is, the better your chances to
experience and explore the opportunities. Internal harmony is
not dependent on situations. My insights were gathered from
busy daily activities filled with meetings, traveling, confer-
ences, and social functions. Life is always an adventure, and it
is not about external circumstances but internal experiences.
Inspiring moments!
