(1) The Law of Responsibility

The Law of Responsibility

Those who take responsibility seize a great opportunity. And without taking responsibility in society, there will be no successful engagement in society. By learning to consciously take responsibility for my own thinking, I recognise the creative possibilities in my own area and gain personal freedom.
How would you explain the Law of Responsibility visually?

KI:
Great question! The ‘law of responsibility’ essentially means: 👉 Everything you think, feel, say and do is your responsibility. No one else is responsible for your decisions – nor for the consequences.

1. A person with scales on their shoulders

A person who carries scales on their shoulders. ⚖️💁‍♂️ Symbol for: Every action and decision has a consequence – and you carry this ‘burden’ yourself.

2. A person holds a thread on which their own actions depend

Many threads extend from the person’s hand – and each one is attached to a small ‘scene’: a good deed, a lie, a mistake, an act of help. 🧵🎭 Symbol for: Everything you do hangs on your own thread of life.

3. Two paths, however, only one person decides

Forest two paths presented themselves to me. I chose the one less travelled. And that changed my life ‘Author – Robert Frost’

A person stands at a crossroads. Two paths lead in different directions. No other people around – the decision is entirely up to them.

🛤️🤔 Symbol for: You are responsible for the path you choose.

4. Mirror that reflects one’s own action

A person throws a stone – and the mirror shows how the stone flies back to them. 🪞🪨 Symbol for: What you give to the world comes back to you – and you are responsible for it.

5. A tree that is watered by its own hand

A person waters a tree – and the tree grows or withers depending on the care. 🌳💧 Symbol for: Your life grows as you take care of it. Your responsibility, your result.

6. A person with a key to their own door

A large door (future, possibilities), and the person has the key in their hand. Nobody else. 🚪🔑 Symbol for: You have the responsibility and power to open your door – or to keep it closed.

Conclusion as imagery:

The law of responsibility figuratively means: You are the gardener of your garden, the blacksmith of your luck, the signpost of your life.

Course

How to get started…

To help you get started, integrate it into your daily routine, stick to it and get the most out of it for your development, please read the following carefully…

You have made a good decision

Take real leadership – for yourself, for your life, for your personal and professional success! For your satisfaction.

As with so many things in life, this course begins with yourself.

With serious study and a willingness to actually ‘work’ on yourself, to look at things you might not want to know and to open yourself up to them, you will quickly notice how much easier it becomes in many areas, how relaxed you can be with your counterpart, how more precisely you can say what you want, and above all, how you can achieve your personal and professional goals.

The course offers everything you need to acquire proven expertise in the areas of communication, motivation and mental strength – but it cannot do the consistent and daily training for you.

The course is designed so that you achieve the maximum with a small investment of time.

Over the course of a year, you will complete 180 didactically structured units. You need about 10 minutes per (working) day and train at your own pace – completely flexible in terms of time and location. The training takes place in the individual practice and is integrated into your (working) day.

Therefore, you do the following:

Per (working) day: 1 recognition unit and 1 exercise in the morning and read carefully. There is a maximum of 1 unit per day.

During the day, you do that one exercise. You need (hardly) any extra time because this is done in your practice. In the evening, you write down your self-knowledge.

The most important thing is to have a routine that makes sense to you: combine the morning scan and the evening entry with a ‘routine’. Before you get up, while the coffee is brewing, the PC is booting up…

Template

The ‘12 natural laws for success®’.

As part of the ‘12 natural laws for success’, Andreas Andiel has summarised the world’s most recognised know-how of the most proven success guides for personal satisfaction and professional success. And it is precisely this elite know-how that forms the basis of every online course in the areas of communication, self-motivation and motivation of others, and mental strength.

A few more important details…

Every evening, as the last thing you do of the day, you will fill out your personal online diary (visible only to you) and record the experiences you have had during the day.

Important: This step of writing is very important for sustainable development. The following content is based on previous experiences! Only by entering your experiences in the training area will the next unit (12 hours later) be activated for the next day. If there is a break (weekend, illness, holiday), then stop at the current point.

You can repeat the previous content and also read what you have noted again and again.

At regular intervals (every 7 units), you will take a short interim test to check your progress and further consolidate your learning.

Reward: If you pass each interim test, you will receive a video in addition to the unit that takes up and deepens certain learning impulses.

It unlocks additional bonus material. The bonus material supports the content and should always be worked through together with the current unit.

At the end of the course, you will complete a summary (final test) of your most important learning experiences and receive your certificate.

Sometimes you might think that one or the other exercise has little to do with your job or your personality. The course is structured didactically. Please do not skip any knowledge or exercises – trust that every step has its importance.

Example: Professional athletes always start with a warm-up, constantly train their fitness, consolidate their technique… and then move on to the game structure and a decisive competition. In professional sports, there is no ‘I already know this’ or ‘I don’t need this’…

So, complete each session before moving on to the next. Stay in the same session for two or three days if necessary. Train at your own Pace.

(This is your first exercise. Read it carefully. If you have any questions, please call your coach on the WhatsApp Number: +43 660 7621873)

Taking responsibility means taking advantage of a great opportunity. And without taking responsibility in society, there will be no successful engagement in society. By training to consciously take responsibility for my own thinking, I recognise the creative possibilities in my own area and gain personal freedom.

The Law of Learning

Learning from ‘mistakes’ means improving the path until it leads to the achievement of a goal. Get out of the ‘mistake game’! The main topics in this unit are solution-oriented, constructive thinking and action, positive interaction with one’s environment and the acceptance of all feedback as an indicator for optimising one’s own path.

The law of will

The difference between dreams, desires and intentions. How to develop decisive willpower. Recognising your own goals, developing a goal plan, determining the necessary effort and learning to develop a strong will for activities for yourself (and others) that makes achieving the goal possible in the first place.

The law of action

Knowing when to act, what to do and how to do it is the basis of every project. After the planning and decision-making is complete, it is now a matter of moving from talking to action and focusing all energies on the start-up phase.

The law of trust

Trusting yourself is important. However, it is equally important that society/the environment builds trust in us! One of the main prerequisites for this is reliability, which in turn is based on personal responsibility and time/(self-)management.

The law of reality

It is not always necessary to see everything the way everyone else sees it. However, it is crucial to know how others focus on it, to learn to deal with it, and to achieve a more understanding approach to your environment. Empathy, understanding and tolerance are key skills for living together in harmony.

The law of adaptation

Everyone is first of all for themselves. The closer you are to another, the closer you are to them. And the more you get. Conscious adaptation or non-adaptation must be used in a targeted manner in combination with a responsible approach to one’s own environment. By consciously deciding to adapt or not to adapt, the individual gains personal freedom and strength.

The law of leadership

The basics of ‘Alpha-Leadership’ and how to apply them correctly. The right balance between ‘leading’ and ‘letting lead’. In this unit, it is also important to learn how to consciously use the instrument of ‘letting lead’ and thus create valuable conditions for teamwork and/or team leadership.

The law of balance

Recognising a balance between ‘giving’ and ‘taking’. The balance of body, mind and soul must be established in order to maintain the same performance. It is also important to comply with the compensation to third parties. ‘If you want to reap, you must first sow’. Those who are aware that they must always pay for the desired person in the form of performance, resources, etc. will find it easier to achieve their goals and will be appreciated for their efforts by those around them.

Law of growth

Everything grows through the alternation of push and pause. Those who handle it correctly get the maximum out of it. Continuous action leads to growth and success. This unit conveys the positive aspects of consistent action, the basic requirements for success in every activity (private or professional).

The law of defence

Knowing when, what and how to successfully defend yourself gives you the gentle calm of self-confidence. Develop a ‘we’ are thinking in a conflict situation and find solutions together that everyone can support. This unit also teaches basic skills for harmonious interaction with your professional, family and social environment.

The law of usefulness

When we give others what they want, they give us everything, according to the value we create for them. Increasing the value means getting more. Knowing your own value leads to a strong personality, able to act calmly and reasonably in all situations and to shape your own life.

Okay, great! Then let’s go one step further and open and edit the goal-setting package directly…

PDF: Definition of Status Quo

Status Quo Definition

What is the first thing that every navigation system does?

Determine where you are!

We humans don’t say everything we think and don’t show everything we feel. That’s normal and, in principle, a good thing. However, over time, our self-image becomes deceptive. We believe what we show others, and at some point we also believe it ourselves.

This makes it difficult to define the right, the genuine starting point, because at some point we no longer recognise the difference between what we show others and what we really are. This is where the right analysis technique, the right tool, the right questioning technique is needed.

Because: Without knowing where you start, there is no predictable way to your goal.

Where do I stand? What can I do?

What am I particularly good at?

(List all the skills you have mastered here.)

What am I less good at?

(Be honest with yourself. This is not about evaluation, but about analysis. The more honest you are with yourself now, the easier it will be for you to plan your path afterwards.)

Which people in my environment sap my energy and demotivate/slow me down?

(List all these people here. It doesn’t matter whether you are in contact with them at the moment or not. And be honest and bluntly open with yourself on this point. You never have to show this list to anyone… ☺)

Which people around me can support and motivate me?

(List all these people here. It doesn’t matter whether you are in contact with them at the moment or not.)

Which activities do I enjoy?

(Again, write down all activities, whether you think they will help you or not.)

Which activities do I dislike?

(Be honest with yourself. This is not about evaluation, but about analysis. The more honest you are with yourself now, the easier it will be for you to plan your path afterwards.)

What financial resources do I have available to me in principle?

(List all your income, savings and investments here. Not just what’s left over at the end of the month, but everything that comes in before any deductions. We’ll break this down later.)

What else is there to say about my current situation?

(How satisfied are you with your personal and professional situation at the moment? Again, be completely honest with yourself.)

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have laid a very important foundation and now know exactly where you are starting from.

Now move on to the next step and define your goal……

PDF: Definition Way

Definition Way

‘If you want a goal, don’t shy away from the path, whether it’s smooth or rough.’

– Theodor Fontane

Once you know where your real starting point is and you also know your real goal that you want to achieve… The next step is to define a detailed path to your goal with intermediate goals and control units.

When developing the path to your goal, you need to pay attention to efficiency, consistency, motivation, continuity, correct prioritisation, appropriate attitude, existing beliefs, knowledge to be acquired and much more.

Your personal path to your goals is created from the information.

This gives you a path that you can follow and that will lead you safely to your goal.

Which abilities do I need to develop to reach my goal?

(Which abilities – that you can learn – could help you reach your goal? Abilities are personal characteristics such as listening well, responding to others, thinking quickly, arguing logically, winning people over, etc.)

Which techniques do I need to acquire, and when and how can I do this most quickly and easily?

(Which techniques – that you can learn – could help you achieve your goals? Unlike skills, techniques are learnable sequences, such as argumentation techniques, persuasion techniques, meditation techniques, running and breathing techniques, speaking techniques, etc.)

How are the intermediate goals, control units and motivation peaks structured?

(Assuming you have a year to achieve your goals. If you now insert 12 intermediate goals: What are these intermediate goals? How do you check whether you have achieved them? How can you measure the achievement of your goals? How do you motivate/reward yourself when you achieve the intermediate goals?)

Efficiency

(Think about what you can do to work as efficiently as possible towards achieving your goals.)

Consistency

(Think about what you can do to work as consistently as possible towards achieving your goals.)

Motivation

(Think about what you can do to keep your motivation high during the year.)

Continuity

(Think about what you can do to work towards achieving your goals as consistently as possible.)

Setting priorities

(Consider how useful it is to set priorities in order to achieve your goals.)

Attitude

(Think about whether your attitude is such that you can work towards your goals in a motivated, consistent and persistent way…)

Beliefs

(Examine your beliefs: Are you convinced that you will achieve your goals – or do you doubt it? Write down your thoughts honestly and openly here and talk about them with your coach and/or in the group. Share your thoughts with others. It will help you build inner strength for your goals.)

Knowledge

(Consider what knowledge you can still acquire to achieve your goals confidently.)

…and everything else I need for my journey

(Write down everything else that comes to mind regarding your personal journey and goals. Discuss this with your coach and/or in the group. Exchange ideas with others.)

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have now defined YOUR STATUS QUO, YOUR GOAL and YOUR WAY.

Now it’s time to walk this path together!!!!

TRANSFER COACH supports you in this process according to the motto: ‘ACHIEVE GOALS TOGETHER’.

For the ‘TEAM’ and ‘MASTER CLASS’ options: Send your work to your TRANSFER COACH now…

RESPONSIBILITY

THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY

Very few people are truly happy and satisfied with their lives. However, the question arises: why don’t they change that?

Quite simply, they don’t know what to change to be happier.

And the reason for this is quite simple:

it’s because of the way they think!

To help you assess your status quo for the ‘Responsibility’ module, you will receive a self-assessment test in the next window…

Self-test RESPONSIBILITY

Do you present yourself as you are?

Being authentic – always and everywhere – means always presenting yourself as you really are.

You can find out how you see yourself and how others see you here. Please select only one point per question.

NOTE: You carry out the evaluation yourself by counting all the same letters on a sheet of paper. In the next window, you will receive your analysis of the evaluation.

1. How do you think you come across to people you meet for the first time?

calm and reasonable (C)

lively & spontaneous (B)

friendly & open-minded (A)

reserved & sensible (D)

2. How do you see yourself?

calm and sensible (C)

lively & spontaneous (B)

friendly & open-minded (A)

reserved & sensible (D)

3. What do you think people appreciate you for?

that I am spontaneous (A)

that I am interesting (B)

that I value myself (D)

that I do something for it (C)

4. 4/1. Which of the 4 characteristics is most pronounced in you? Please tick!

a fortune teller/astrologer (B)

a fitness trainer (A)

10. What is most likely to be neglected in your life?

my needs (A) my talents (C)

my dreams (B)

my goals (D)

Now add up your answers on a piece of paper. Which letter predominates? Your analysis is displayed in the next window.

Evaluation

Here you can see which letter (A, B, C, D) best matches your current situation…

Predominantly A – The calming influence

You are completely authentic and also radiate calm. You have the wonderful gift of intuitively assessing people and situations and giving everyone what they need. You are likely to be described as warm-hearted and generous. However, you can also be quite different: if someone tries to take advantage of you, you will find surprisingly clear words.

Predominantly B – The Doer

You are refreshingly spontaneous and full of energy. You always strike the right note with others. You are self-confident and compassionate – or so it seems. However, there is also a hint of arrogance. You like to be the centre of attention and give a lot in return. Your special gift is motivation: you can inspire both others and yourself to achieve your best.

Predominantly C – Still waters run deep…

Think before you act – that is your motto. Sometimes spontaneity comes up short. You have to be really known to learn to appreciate you – however, once you are known, you are usually very popular. You radiate competence and confidence – and when you take on something, you can be trusted 100 per cent. You have more abilities than you realise – and this is precisely where your potential for development lies.

Mostly D – clever & sensitive

You are a good listener and approach your fellow human beings with patience and sensitivity. When you say something, it is well considered and well thought out. They admire you for it and you get recognition for it. The only problem is: you can’t stand it. If you are criticised or confronted with irony, you quickly react offended. For people you care about, you are willing to do anything.

Now you have a self-assessment of your current status quo on this topic.

Think about it, exchange ideas with your coach or share your thoughts with the community.

Now go to the next window and start your first recognition session right away…

Recognition unit 1:

Let’s start by looking at what you are responsible for. To what extent you are responsible for your life.

What is responsibility anyway?

There are different lessons…

There are two large groups, one of which is those who stand at the front and teach you this topic in the following way:

‘If you finally take responsibility, if you finally get a grip on your life, if you finally believe that you can do something, then you will also succeed…’

The others – who talk about responsibility, these are the ones who explain it to you like this:

‘Life is a broad, calm stream, there’s nothing you can do about it! Everything is predetermined. Responsibility – nobody has to account for anything…’

Who is right?

Which of the two models do you think is the key to success?

Now, please think about this before you read on…

If you have already decided in favour of one of the two options, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. It’s not that simple.

We can’t take responsibility for everything, nor are we uninvolved in everything.

In the course of this law, we will learn to what extent we can influence the things around us and what we alone are responsible for.

In any case, you should deal with the topic of responsibility very, very strongly, because responsibility is the basis of everything if you want to be satisfied privately and successful professionally.

Just ask yourself for the next hour about everything that happens: ‘What are you responsible for and what are you absolutely certain you are not responsible for?’

You will find your exercise for this introductory unit in the next window. Have fun…

Exercise 1:

Do this exercise during the day.

It is important to really put it into practice, gain self-awareness and write it down.

This self-reflection is an important part of your development and you need it as part of the Cross-Check exercise programme.

Did you play detective occasionally as a child? Or would you like to do it occasionally today?

If so, it’s for the best. If not, try it for a day anyway.

Observe everyone around you carefully for a whole day, from the moment you wake up until you go to bed.

Try to find out who reacts to which of your actions and how.

And if you want to get even better: try to find out why the people around you react the way they do.

And then ask yourself what you could have done to get a different reaction.

If you play this game with focus and are a good detective, you will quickly realise how much your environment is influenced by your actions. Yes, and then you just ask yourself what you are solely responsible for.

At the end of the day, you write down your experiences in your diary in the next window.

Recognition unit 2:

Let’s look at daily practice when we don’t apply the concept of responsibility correctly.

Take a look and see if any of the following situations sound familiar:

• Once again, there is too much month left at the end of the money! Your income is never enough to cover all your needs – and obligations. However, what can you do? There is no way they can give you a raise. These days, you have to be happy just to have a job.

Another Monday. Work begins again. How nice it would be to have a few days off. You drag yourself to work with difficulty. It’ll be okay somehow. It’s no use anyway. You need the job to earn the money you need.

No positive result with the customer again. Always this mistrust with potential customers. However that is the way it is. We will not change people. You just have to accept these defeats. The others are not better off either.

Still not as successful as you had actually imagined and planned. Somehow it just doesn’t work out. You are constantly giving your full attention and only a few are really appreciated. But that’s obviously how life is. You have to be able to compromise. Anyone who claims otherwise is a dreamer.

There are countless other examples that could be listed here, however, we believe that you already understand what is meant.

Those who accept things instead of looking for responsibility and dealing with it know one thing for sure: that nothing will ever change for them.

It is therefore worthwhile in any case to thoroughly deal with the topic of responsibility and to apply it.

Those who do not deal with the topic of responsibility will one day find themselves at their last hour, like the farmer Sepp, who is lying on his deathbed while his wife Zenzi is holding his hand. And he says:

‘Well, Zenzi, whenever I felt bad, you were with me! After the war, Zenzi, you were with me!

‘Yes Sepp, I was with you!

‘Well, Zenzi, and when I broke my leg, you were with me!’

‘Yes Sepp, I was with you.

‘And when the house burnt down, when I had syphilis and when I went bankrupt, you were always with me, Zenzi!

‘Yes, Sepp, I was always with you.’

‘And now that I’m finished, you’re with me!’

‘Yes, Sepp, now I’m with you too.’

‘You know, Zenzi, get out of here, you don’t bring me luck!

Do you want to blame everyone else at the end of your journey for the fact that so many things didn’t work out?

Exercise 2:

Think about it:

Which of the situations mentioned in the recognition unit seem familiar to me?

Think about it and observe yourself in everyday life:

Which other comparable situations from my life keep cropping up?

Ask yourself:

Why has that not changed to this day?

Recognition unit 3:

What goes wrong in all these life situations? Probably none of the participants will be really satisfied with their lives, completely happy.

But why then does nothing change for most people?

Quite simply……

because they don’t know the main reason for their imbalance. And this reason is quite simple: their thinking is wrong! Of course, there are other components as well – all of which are covered in this course – but the basis for everything is right thinking. And responsibility for it.

Let’s go through the way we constantly influence our lives:

First, our thoughts are present. That is why we believe in certain things and not in others. This belief, in turn, gives rise to certain attitudes towards things within us. This is the basis of our inner attitude.

And this inner attitude is reflected in our outer appearance:

what we say, how we act, what we do, our body language, our facial expression and our gestures, how we look, and so on.

However, each of our actions triggers a reaction and sets a process in motion with all its subsequent processes. And because of our personal responsibility for our thoughts, we are solely responsible for…

• how much our environment can influence us

• what is going on inside us

• how and to what extent we influence our environment

• what actions, reactions and processes we trigger in ourselves and our environment

You alone are the one who consciously decides on his thoughts and thus on the energies he releases and the actions and processes he triggers with them.

Thus, you alone are responsible for all those areas that have their basis in your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. To a large extent, personal satisfaction and professional success are rooted in the right thinking. You won’t win the lottery just because you think right, and you won’t have a dream partner at your feet just because you think positively – however, your life will be much better if you take responsibility for your thinking and thus for your actions and consciously think and act according to this law.

Responsibility is the basis for everything else. If you understand this and practise it, you are already halfway there.

Even if it may seem incredible to you now: a sufficient income, enjoyment of work, harmony in a partnership, success in your career and much more are largely based on taking responsibility for your own thinking and thus your own actions. For some, this may be an uncomfortable realisation. For others, it is a great opportunity.

Decide for yourself!

Let’s take a look at this story…

One day at lunch, a man asked his wife why she always cut off both ends of a roast. His wife replied, ‘I don’t know, my mother always did it that way.’

Not satisfied with this answer, the man waited until he met his mother-in-law again and asked her why she always cut off both ends of the rolled roast when cooking, so that her daughter would do the same today. However, the mother-in-law also gave the answer he had already heard: ‘I don’t know, my mother always did the same.’

It was a happy coincidence that his wife’s grandmother was still alive and that he had the opportunity to ask her at a family celebration why she always cut off both ends of the rolled roast so that her daughter and granddaughter would do the same today?

The answer was surprisingly simple: ‘I had to do it. Our pan was too small.’

Exercise 3:

Let’s be honest: Do you think it’s possible that you do things just because you’ve always done them that way, because ‘that’s how you do it,’ ‘because that’s how everyone does it,’…

If you want to start taking responsibility for yourself and your life, then start today by asking yourself for at least a full day:

– Why am I doing this?

– What’s the benefit?

And if you don’t have a satisfactory answer, then maybe you’ll ask yourself if you want to continue. And you’re already in the middle of your own responsibility. Congratulations!

Make a note of the things you now want to do differently than before!

Recognition Unit 4:

To shed more light on the subject of responsibility and to really understand the system, let’s first look at what our world consists of, what we and our environment consist of.

We all know the structure of the hydrogen atom?

One atomic nucleus – one electron.

To get a feel for the dimensions we are about to consider, let’s imagine that the atomic nucleus is the size of a pinhead. The electron would then be the size of a grain of sand and would orbit the pinhead at a distance of about 100 metres.

It always orbits the pinhead at the same distance, because its centrifugal force is exactly the same as the force of attraction that the atomic nucleus exerts on the electron through the orbital speed.

Now we have the atomic nucleus and the electron. And these two form a mass that makes up exactly 0.0001% of the entire atom.

However, what makes up the remaining 99.9999%?

The remaining 99.9999% is nothing, right?

Everything material in our world consists of atoms. Is 99.9999% nothing in the material world?

No – 99.9999% of the hydrogen atom consists of energy! And it is this energy that creates matter, which we then perceive in our material world.

This clarifies that it is not mass that is decisive in our world, but that energy is the decisive element that we should deal with in every respect!

If we now pursue this insight further, we will also discover that our thoughts are pure energy. And with this energy of our thinking – whereby both conscious and unconscious thinking are included here – we set all processes in and around us in motion and influence them.

Let’s take the example: an unpleasant situation arises for you and you blush. There is no physical reason for the increased blood flow. Rather, this physical reaction (blushing) is triggered exclusively by a certain assumption by your thinking. Have you ever been hungry and thought about your favourite food?

Have you noticed how your mouth has started watering?

Again, there is no physical reason for increased salivation! In reality, no food was consumed.

Your thoughts alone influenced your body.

Exercise 4:

A very unusual game awaits you for today’s exercise. However, by the end of it, you will have gained some very valuable experiences.

The exercise is this: look strangers and passers-by in the eye – and make sure that you are in places where you meet many people and cannot immediately avoid them (department store, bus, subway, full elevator, etc.) – as dark, hostile and grim as possible.

For understandable reasons, you should not involve the people you know in this exercise.

Pay attention to how people react when you approach them in this negative way. And above all, pay attention to how you feel about it.

Thought-provoking

Today you will receive a little story that will help you to practice things that you may already ‘know’…

PDF: The invention of chess

The invention of chess…

‘If you do nothing, the only thing you know is that nothing will change.’

And if you do little, you give up a lot.

You probably know the story of the man who, as a reward for inventing chess, was allowed to wish for whatever he wanted.

This man had the following wish: ‘One grain of rice on the first square of a chessboard, two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth, etc.’

As we know, it was impossible to fulfil this wish, because for the 64th square, you would have had to give as many grains of rice as there were not enough in the whole world.

It is interesting to note that there would have been only half as many grains of rice on the 63rd square, and only 6.25% on the 60th.

A difference of 93.75% based on four squares of 64!

What does this have to do with the course?

Well, this course is structured didactically. Each unit with its recognition and exercise builds on previous knowledge transfer, self-reflection, observations and experiences.

Each unit reinforces what is already there and prepares for what is yet to come.

Skipping even one ‘field’ of this course would be like skipping the 64th field

And now you can imagine how much you have missed if you have ‘skimmed’ two, three, four recognition units and/or skipped one, two, three, four exercises.

Each skipped development step could be the 64th field……

Don’t give up anything!

Recognition unit 5:

You can observe this direct influence on your body through your thinking alone in countless examples. Since only you are responsible for your thoughts and the effects of this energy, only you are responsible for all the processes within you.

What about the influence on your environment?

Here is an example: Imagine you are a teenager again. You are planning to go out with friends to a disco. You are wearing old clothes that you no longer like. You think your hair could do with a trim. You have a blackhead that bothers you terribly and you also realise that you are carrying an extra 1-2 kilograms.

And how did evenings like that go? Not exactly sensationally, was it?

Now let’s look at a different evening: You are either wearing newly purchased clothes or your favourite item of clothing – you have been to the hairdresser and also have clean skin, without blackheads. The 1-2 kilos are still too much, you look in the mirror, think you look good, and look forward to the evening.

How did such evenings usually go?

Much more positive – right?

What is the difference between the two evenings?

Only that you no longer liked your ‘old clothes’ – there were certainly enough people who liked your ‘old clothes’ even better than the new ones.

The difference in the haircut – if it was a normal follow-up cut – was usually not even recognisable to an outsider.

Whether you had a blackhead or not was not recognisable in the light of the nightclub.

Nevertheless, in these examples there is a strong difference in the way you come across to other people.

This difference arose and arose solely from your thinking. Because the energy of your thinking influences how you act. That is, your speech, your posture, your facial expressions, your gaze, your gestures. And the sum of these things is your charisma.

So, who is responsible for influencing your environment?

Very clearly – you.

But now every action triggers a reaction and sets a process in motion with all its subsequent processes. And so, you are solely responsible for it through the self-responsibility of your thoughts:

• How far your environment can influence you

• What’s going on inside of you

• How and to what extent you influence your environment

• Which actions and reactions and thus processes you set in motion in yourself and your environment.

Exercise 5:

Also, today we play this unusual game. Only with reversed signs.

The task for today is: Look into the eyes of all passers-by and strangers you meet – and make sure that you are again today in places where you meet many people and cannot immediately avoid them, e.g. department store, bus, subway, full elevator, etc. as friendly, open and smiling as you can.

In this exercise you can include all people you know.

Pay attention again to the reactions of people when you approach them in such a positive way.

And above all – pay attention to how you feel yourself.

Recognition Unit 6:

Just as everyone bears personal responsibility for his or her development within the framework of his or her social, immediate and wider environment, he or she also bears responsibility for the development of society at various levels.

For example, in the family, at work, but also in the community, for the state and for society as a whole.

Responsibility therefore does not only mean personal responsibility for one’s own success, but overall responsibility for everything you influence.

With all decisions, whether they are big ones or everyday ones, we should be aware that we set the triggers through the energy of our thoughts. And thus, we have the responsibility for ourselves, for our participation in society and our contribution to the development of our environment.

Everyone has to accept this responsibility. As long as a person is capable of making decisions, it cannot be assigned to anything or anyone.

However, the decision itself can be made by the individual to the best of his knowledge and conscience or against better knowledge and conscience. In this freedom of decision man differs from animal decisions.

He makes conscious decisions.

It is you alone who consciously decides about your thoughts and thus about your energies that you release and the actions and processes that you trigger with them and thus have the responsibility.

And to assume this responsibility is the basis that is indispensable for professional and private success, a satisfied and harmonious life as well as inner health and personality.

Stop any whining about the negative circumstances in your environment. Instead – without evaluation and feeling – simply be aware of your responsibility about up to which point you let yourself be influenced and which triggers you set in your environment.

Recognize responsibility as the great opportunity it actually is!

Because if you are responsible for the extent to which you let yourself, be influenced and if you are also responsible for the triggers you set in your environment, then you simply have only one thing to do:

To let yourself be influenced only as far as you want and to set only those triggers that lead to those processes that you want to set in motion.

Who understands and uses this as an opportunity has the basis for any success.

Exercise 6:

Now you have sent negative and positive signals consciously for one day. And you have noticed how alone your signals change your environment.

Today you start to “play” with it consciously and on your own responsibility.

The task for today is:
Look again into the eyes of all passers-by and strangers whom you meet either as dark, rejecting and grim or as friendly, open and smiling as you can.

And of course, make sure today that you are at places where you meet a lot of people and cannot avoid them immediately e.g. department store, bus, subway, full elevator, etc. You can also try to change your signals from one second to the other several times, but only with strangers.

Pay attention to the reactions of people and above all: Observe how easy it is for you to change the mood, the reactions of your environment. Also pay attention to how you feel yourself. Also pay attention to how you feel about it yourself.

At the latest after this unit, you should feel exactly how much responsibility you have for yourself alone through your thinking and your signals – but also at the same time what a great chance this self-responsibility is for you and your life!

Recognition Unit 7:

Let us now look together at how we can implement these insights in our private lives, how we can handle the topic of responsibility in our family, with friends, acquaintances, colleagues – and especially with ourselves…

Perhaps the following situation looks familiar to you?

For the first time you meet a group of people who are completely foreign to you (an event, a training, in a club, at a lecture, etc.). You automatically make reflections:

• What do they think of me?

• What do they expect from me?

• What do they already know about me?

• How do I affect on them?

You feel insecure because you doubt your appearance, your charisma. And that’s why you seem insecure.

Take conscious responsibility for your own thoughts and think:

• “These people are happy that I am here as well”.

• “These people want to receive and be understood just as much as all people, and I will take that into account. Therefore, these people will like me.”

• “I am open, self-confident and have a pleasant, positive charisma.

You will notice that your attitude – inside and outside – and thus your charisma becomes more secure, more friendly and more sympathetic. Your statements, your facial expressions, your gestures will do the same – and you will reap more positive reactions all by yourself.

If you want to get to know a person (which can not only be interesting and beautiful in your private life, but is essential for your professional life), did not take a long time to decide how you might affect the other person(s). You can’t judge it anyway. The longer you doubt, the more you will become entangled in negative thoughts and lose your courage.

Take responsibility for your thoughts:

• “This person likes to hear nice things about himself just as much as anyone else. And everything else I can only experience when I have said hello.”

The more positive and open you will approach this person, the more likely you will be sympathetic to your counterpart.

During a disagreement with a person who is close to us (partner, colleague, customer, friend, etc.) we are easily tempted to think:

• “He/She consciously wants to hurt me, wants to harm me, knows that this statement hurts me and still does, is deliberately malicious to me, plays with me, …”

Take responsibility for your thoughts and even in these situations think of it:

• “I like her/him and he/she likes me.”

• “This is only about the subject and nothing of any negative personal statements is really meant that way and he/she is sorry again tomorrow.”

You will notice that you are much more confident and understanding – and suddenly argue less.

Don’t just let yourself be dominated by any feelings and creeping doubts but take responsibility for your thoughts. Believe in it and be sure that the people around you like you, respect you and find you sympathetic.

Be open, self-confident and – smile. You have every reason to!

Exercise 7:

Go into a society today that consists of several people. In a restaurant, in the office or at an event, for example. Then choose a person and occupy this person in your thoughts exclusively with positive qualities.

So, think for example: how sympathetic, how nice, how clever, etc. this person is. And above all, think all the time about the fact that this person also finds you sympathetic, nice, smart, etc. Expect only positive actions and reactions from this person during the exercise (of which of course you shouldn’t tell anyone and certainly not the person concerned).

And watch what happens.

How does this person behave and how do you yourself behave towards this person?

Observe exactly how you influence “only” with your attitude, your thinking, the behavior of your environment and your own. Be clearly aware of the possibilities you have when you take responsibility for your thinking and attitudes.

If you do not come to a clear insight during this exercise (and the previous three), repeat it in the next few days until you have gained this clear insight.

Knowing what self-responsibility about attitudes and thoughts means and what a great opportunity it holds is the key to all other principles of satisfaction and success.

Recognising unit 8:

And now let’s look at how we can implement these insights in such a way that we benefit from them in our jobs:

Firstly, remove the term ‘having to work’ from your vocabulary!

Because with ‘must’ we associate everything that we do not enjoy. And that is not true. If we look at it closely, you ‘may’ earn money.

That means constantly learning new things and developing, having the feeling and knowledge of being needed, being with other people, creating and building something to be proud of, rightly expecting and receiving recognition, and being part of a community.

Humans are not made to laze around, even if it sometimes seems that way.

Think about it: when do you feel better – when you’ve been hanging around all day making no progress, or when you’ve done a great job and fallen into bed dead tired?

Look, you’re allowed to work. Look forward to it every day!

And suddenly you will notice that your work is getting easier, you are making more progress and things are going better in your job. Even if it sounds unbelievable – it’s that simple.

When you are working on a project, don’t constantly doubt its success. Don’t constantly be afraid that something could go wrong at any moment.

Consciously take responsibility for your thoughts.

And believe in it, be sure that this project will be a success. Trust that you will do the right thing at the right time and look forward to success in advance. The necessary self-confidence, composure and charisma that you need to be successful will then arise automatically.

Knowing the right people at the right time is extremely important for professional success.

However, to do that you first have to get to know them. Now you will surely understand the principle of contacting people who are important to you.

If you look and act like a doubting Thomas, a timid person, an unsuccessful person, then your approach will be perceived as harassment. However, if you radiate self-confidence, security, openness, friendliness and success, then even the biggest celebrities and multinational corporations will be happy to meet you. Because believe me: there are so few (future) winners that everyone is happy to meet one.

In general, the principle applies to all professions that trust, and a feeling of security are the basis for successful action for all parties involved.

And this feeling can only be conveyed by someone who radiates it and expresses it in this way. And this can only be done by someone who takes responsibility for their thoughts and consciously thinks ‘right’.

Exercise 8:

For 21 days, keep a list of three things each day that you liked most about your work that day. Hang this list in a visible place at your workplace and end each working day for 21 days with these three things. You are not allowed to enter anything.

Just pick the three things you liked best (so far). Start each list with this sentence:

‘Today, I particularly liked the following three things about my work and my workplace…’

Why 21 days in a row?

The brain works much better in a positive state than in a neutral or negative state. Intelligence is higher, creativity increases, and energy levels rise.

With just two minutes of effort on 21 consecutive days, it is possible to reprogramme the brain to work in a more optimistic and successful way.

You can achieve this by writing down three new things every day that you are grateful for. After 21 days, the brain begins to scan the world for positive things first, rather than negative ones.

3-Things-List to print…

Use this template to reflect on your implementation for the next 21 days on a daily basis…

3 things…

Today I particularly liked the following three things about my workplace…

I liked 1.)

I liked 2.)

3.)

DAY

Recognition Lesson 9:

Let’s summarise: As you can see, the way you think, how YOU THINK and how much responsibility you take for it, is the key to personal satisfaction and professional success. However, it is not enough – as is often wrongly assumed – to say a few positive sentences every day.

Make these new, positive thought patterns truly your own, even train them. Let go of the old, negative and fearful thought patterns. Otherwise, where will all the new positive thoughts go? Into the cesspool of the last 20 years! And that would be like trying to make a full oil barrel crystal clear with a few drops of water.

So: both, get rid of the old thought patterns and constantly train the new conscious thought patterns.

You will also suffer some defeats, where your subconscious mind immediately tells you:

‘See, I knew it right away, it’s no use.’

Do not give up control of your thoughts in these moments. Keep control of your thinking, take responsibility, train the new thought patterns, just as a top athlete continues to train despite defeats – and you will find that over time many things become much easier.

And suddenly you will have more joy and more success. Believe me – it’s worth it.

We can always fall back on the fact that our inner and outer attitudes are closely linked. How does that help us?

Now it’s easy: while standing, let your arms and head hang low in front of you so that your fingertips almost touch the floor. And now say with conviction: ‘It’s great, what a beautiful day it is today.’

Is that hard? Now the other way around: straighten up, stretch your arms up, look at the sky and say with conviction: ‘What a shitty day today!’

You will notice that your inner attitude follows your outer posture.

So, the next time you feel down, pull your shoulders back, push out your chest, look up, walk tall, confidently and proudly, put an honest smile on your lips – and you will notice that it helps.

Consequence:

In everything I have done, am doing and plan to do, I consciously take responsibility for my thoughts and my inner attitude and thus for each of my actions and the resulting processes. From daily smiles to life decisions.

Exercise 9:

1. Write down three things you liked best about your work and/or your workplace.

2. In addition, we are repeating the exercise today in which you ask yourself for a whole day:

‘Why am I doing this?’

‘How does it help me?’

And if you can’t come up with a satisfactory answer to something, maybe you should ask yourself again whether you want to continue like this?

Why not find out if one or two small details have changed already?

Make a note of the things you want to do differently than before or leave them and compare them AFTER (!) this exercise with your notes from exercise 3. If there are other things in exercise 3, then add your points to today’s exercise entry.

Recognition unit 10:

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR BODY?

Responsibility for one’s own body begins with defining for oneself what one likes. This applies both to the appearance of one’s own body and to how satisfied or dissatisfied one is with the functionality of one’s own body.

Because if you allow the media, society or your environment to impose their definition of physical beauty on you, you are no more taking responsibility for your appearance than you are if you let yourself go and are dissatisfied.

The same applies to the functionality of your body. If you, as a sworn ‘comfort fanatic’, finally pull yourself together and suddenly go jogging every day because your doctor prescribes it for you or your partner demands it of you, then in this case you are only doing what others demand of you.

In this case, however, you are not taking any responsibility for yourself.

In all these cases, responsibility for oneself was never taken.

They simply did what was imposed on them by their environment. However, this way you will…

• …never feel good,

• …never look the way you want to and…

• …never be satisfied with your body.

Most people blame everyone and everything for the fact that they are gaining weight, that they have to lead an unhealthy life and that they whine to themselves because they don’t like themselves and don’t feel fit. However, they never take responsibility for their own body.

Taking responsibility for your own body starts with defining for yourself what you like and how fit you want your body to be.

And if you now take responsibility for your own body, it logically follows that you also carry out your own programme for your body and do not shirk responsibility by simply doing what others tell you to do because ‘they will know what’s best’.

If you do this, you have taken the first step towards taking responsibility for your body. Congratulations!

Exercise 10:

1. Write down three things you liked best about your work and/or your workplace.

2. Stand naked in front of the mirror!

Look at your body, your face, your posture. Look at yourself from the front, from behind and from the side. Now notice three things you really like about your body and three things you don’t like about your body.

Observe exactly how you feel physically.

How do you feel when you climb stairs? When did you run? Do you sleep well or poorly?

Define for yourself whether you are satisfied with your appearance and your health. And then decide – again entirely on your own – whether you want to change anything about it.

Decide for yourself: Do I want something about my body to change? If so, what? Write this down…

Recognised course unit 11:

Let’s look at some typical examples from everyday life where people fail to take responsibility for their own bodies.

And the consequences associated with this…

Our parents, our partner or someone else is constantly telling us to eat more.

Our body needs food, our body needs strength. And we are served and served. If we don’t eat up now, we feel we’re offending or disturbing the other person or people.

So, we eat well and do so for several years. At some point we stand in front of the mirror, look at our rolls of fat and feel: the longer we look at ourselves in the mirror, the angrier we get at the person who has always served us. After all, it is only that person’s fault that we no longer like ourselves, right?

Summer is coming, and with it the bathing season and the time when people show themselves with relatively little clothing.

Because you want other people to perceive you as beautiful, you start a diet. You pick a diet plan out of a newspaper, get tips from friends, buy a book or consult a doctor.

Then you start to bite your lip and stick to exactly what someone else tells you. You actually lose weight, and 14 days later you’re back to your old weight. So you sit there and get annoyed at this stupid programme that didn’t help you in the end, but only made your life miserable for a while.

I read about it in magazines, watch TV, listen to the radio and hear from friends and colleagues that sport is good and that everyone who is anyone goes jogging every day.

Encouraged by this, I go to the nearest sports shop, buy myself a pair of jogging shoes and some trendy clothes and now I plan to go jogging every day. The agony begins every day when I get up in the morning. I am constantly out of breath while running and completely exhausted after running.

Why?

Because I always run faster than I feel comfortable when someone can see me, because I don’t want to make a fool of myself when I trot along so slowly. And so I run more and more reluctantly. And thank God I find enough excuses to stop running altogether.

Someone is a heavy smoker and doesn’t really care whether it’s good for their body or not.

However, their partner suddenly asks them to quit smoking because it’s not good for either of them. They agree to stop smoking and immediately get rid of their cigarettes.

It goes quite well at the beginning, but over time, they have a single cigarette. However, after each cigarette, this person feels increasingly bad and constantly reproaches himself – namely, the partner who puts pressure on him and makes him feel guilty. And it doesn’t take long before this person decides that he can’t take it anymore and starts smoking heavily again.

Exercise 11:

1. Write down three things you liked best about your work and/or workplace.

2. Walk everywhere today.

Don’t take the lift today and take the stairs as often as possible. Walk if at all possible.

Observe your posture – straight or slouched?

How do you feel when you are sitting – can you feel your back?

Do squats, press-ups and pull-ups if possible.

Make a note if you think you want to improve the functionality/fitness of your body in certain areas. In which areas?

Recogniser Unit 12:

Now let’s look at some examples of how it might work…

I stand in front of the mirror and realise that I don’t like my build and that I don’t want to have an ‘Aqua-Hoop’ between my chest and thighs when I bend over.

So, I now judge my appearance according to my own criteria and define my own criteria for how I want to look. I observe what foods I eat and determine how much fat and carbohydrates these foods contain.

Then I start to decide for myself what foods I could eat, which ones I like, and which ones contain less fat and carbohydrates.

And from that, I put together my own programme, which I develop myself, according to my taste, and which I stick to myself.

I judge the functionality of my body myself.

o Are my back and abdominal muscles strong enough to support my spine, or will my back problems get worse?

o Is my blood pressure, okay?

o Do I often have headaches?

o Do I suffer from tension, etc.?

Then I ask myself: what kind of physical exercise do I enjoy?

Once I have noted this down, I observe my own biorhythm.

At what times of the day am I physically most capable?

Am I a morning person or an evening person?

I now put together my own individual programme from all these facts that apply to me personally.

Someone has created their own programme to increase the functionality of their body through more physical activity. This programme also includes regular jogging.

They find their own running speed at which they feel comfortable, and which is also the right one to increase their strength and endurance.

Now he is running past his neighbour’s garden, and the neighbour is standing outside watching him run by. For a moment, our runner feels motivated to run faster to impress his neighbour. However, since he alone can take responsibility for his individual programme, he maintains his pace and runs past his neighbour, albeit quite slowly.

And suddenly he realises that he is not afraid of making a fool of himself because he is trotting along so slowly, but our runner experiences the feeling of how nice it is to train his body all by himself and on his own responsibility. The smile of his neighbour does not bother him, because he has the good feeling that he has taken responsibility for himself and feels how good it is for his body.

Someone who smokes a lot realises that they no longer feel well.

So they decide that they want to smoke less or not at all. They find out what options are available to help them with nicotine withdrawal. They put together their own individual programme and set their own personal goals.

Without external pressure, but only with the power of his own self-generated motivation, cigarette consumption decreases, and he feels better and better as a result.

Exercise 12:

1. Write down three things that you liked best about your work and/or your workplace.

2. Answer these questions from the detection unit:

• Are my back and abdominal muscles strong enough to support my spine, or are my back problems getting worse?

• Is my blood pressure, okay?

• Do I often have headaches?

• Do I suffer from tension, etc.?

• What kind of exercise do I enjoy?

Once I have noted this down, I observe my own biorhythm.

• At what times of the day am I physically at my fittest?

• Am I a morning person or an evening person?

Use this to develop an initial, small, personal programme that you think you can implement over the next seven days. At the beginning, it should only be small changes.

3. Then do the following exercise to determine for yourself whether you want to change your eating habits.

List your favourite foods and add a plus if the food is mostly good for your body and a minus if the food is mostly negative for your body. Create a list from your notes that you can hang in the kitchen.

And then you could also think about possible consequences and write them down here – however, only if you want to.

Recognition Lesson 13:

WHAT DOES THE TOPIC OF RESPONSIBILITY MEAN FOR OUR INNER HARMONY?

Looking at the topic of responsibility in such a way that our inner harmony is ensured means, first and foremost, enjoying the awareness of self-control of my actions.

Self-control means that I have an overview of the situation, that I can correctly assess the situation and my position in that situation, and that I can act in a way that meets my needs in every situation.

It is always important to observe:

• Is a situation destroying me?

• Is a situation blocking me?

• Is a situation helping me?

And then to control it in such a way that I do not suffer from the situation, but rather in such a way that my own situation is shaped as I want it to be. It is immensely important to explore one’s own strengths and possibilities within the framework of personal responsibility and to be careful not to fall into a black-and-white or an either-or pattern.

To achieve or maintain inner harmony, you should always try to consider several options. Black-and-white thinking is dangerous because it can make you feel desperate and like you’ve ‘lost’ if the positive option doesn’t work.

It is essential when taking responsibility to

analyse situations

analyse your needs

• Develop several strategies that allow me to meet my needs according to my situation

Then I am always balanced, calm, relaxed – in other words, in a state of inner harmony. The key is self-determination. Every moment in which we feel controlled by external forces gives rise to negative feelings, and these affect our overall balance. The resulting inner turmoil makes us lose strength, charisma and composure because we are no longer in balance.

To ensure inner harmony, the top priority is to always maintain balance in all things. This means that I am able to combine opposing impulses. If I can do this, I will be a happy person who has a positive influence on everyone around me. Taking responsibility is therefore not only important for the mind and body, for personality and success.

Taking responsibility for yourself is also immensely important for your satisfaction, your inner harmony.

Exercise 13:

1. Write down three things that you liked most about your work and/or your workplace.

2. Write down the following difficult situations in which you find yourself or which you face, and analyse the situations – also write down the following:

• Is this situation controlled only by you?

• Is this situation controlled mainly by you?

• Is this situation controlled by you without influence? And if this is the case, by whom?

3. And then work out these questions:

What are your needs in each situation?

Would you consider it important for you to control these situations alone?

What would you do if you could control the situations alone?

How can you act now? What strategies can you think of?

Allow yourself enough time for this, 2 to 3 days.

Recognising unit 14:

Let’s look at what can go wrong if the principle of responsibility is not observed in such a way as to ensure inner balance:

Unfortunately, it happens all too often (usually after so-called motivational events) that someone decides to take responsibility for themselves immediately – and they feel increasingly worse instead of better.

Why?

Well, from that point on, our ‘highly motivated’ person has very specific ideas about what ‘success’ should look like. And whenever something doesn’t go as planned in the success book, it’s considered a failure, a confirmation that ‘the material for success’ is not there. Because everyone is responsible for themselves, and if something doesn’t work out, it’s their own fault. So with each ‘failed attempt,’ our person falls a step deeper into a pit of self-doubt, mistrust, and fear of failure.

The realisation that they had to take responsibility for themselves did more harm than good.

Why?

Because the person was highly motivated without understanding the context. Without knowing that there is never just black or white, success or failure – but that all steps of positive development serve a purpose if I take responsibility for them and draw my conclusions from them in order to do even better in the next step.

There is no ‘either you can do it immediately or you are a failure’. There are always several possibilities, and it always takes several development steps.

If you know this and take responsibility for all your actions while ‘moving forward’, you will find the inner balance and harmony that is so important for personal satisfaction and professional success.

However, if you expose yourself to the nonsensical pressure of only achieving immediate victory or immediate defeat, you may feel helpless and at the mercy of others if you do not reach your goal on the first attempt. You feel powerless, helpless, at the mercy of fate, at the mercy of the people around you and also at the mercy of your inner emotions and needs. And you have the feeling that your strength is diminishing more and more.

Someone who feels like they are at the mercy of things has less and less strength because they are more and more afraid. Fear increases and ‘fear eats away at the soul’; fear is an energy guzzler.

We can no longer use our powers constructively, but they are consumed internally. You feel powerless, you feel listless and sometimes this escalates into a feeling of hopelessness and despair.

Exercise 14:

1. Write down three things that you liked most about your work and/or your workplace.

2. Then write down three goals that you have not achieved, however, you were able to learn a lot of important things in these situations and where the things you learned were very helpful.

Intermediate Test 2:

I should consciously take responsibility for my thoughts.

You cannot consciously think ‘right’.

Only those who make decisions can actively determine their personal path.

The decisive thing is what others determine.

Taking personal responsibility is immensely important for inner harmony.

Recognition unit 15:

How can I apply the knowledge of my personal responsibility in such a way that my inner harmony is ensured?

The most important thing is, whenever I face a challenge: self-reflection.

That means, to calm down and look at my own situation from the outside, to give myself a very sober analysis of the situation. What is the problem? And write it down exactly (everything you write down comes from within and thus becomes visible and tangible).

The second thing to do when faced with a challenge is to ask yourself: What options do I have?

You should also write down the options and then see which of the options is easiest for me in the current situation and which of the options is most favourable for me at the moment. And this option is implemented.

If it works, the problem is solved. If it doesn’t work, I take the next strategy and this continues until either the problem is solved or I feel that the problem cannot be solved with my current means at the moment: I get out of the situation.

This means that I can overcome this challenge to such an extent that I – until further notice, until I feel able to do so again – refrain from doing so.

People who do this gain more experience, more realism, more security with every step, with every strategy they try out. They learn to act and sometimes they also learn to deal with the resistance of other people and situations, thereby learning a completely new behaviour.

People who act in this way develop a much larger repertoire than before. And at the same time, inner peace, harmony and thus positive charisma grow more and more.

A small example from practice: A doctor came to me who repeatedly felt helpless. She always did everything for others and felt exploited. She learned to defend herself and to assert her own needs. She learnt these strategies step by step and gained a sense of security, strength and peace, which over time spread to others.

If you apply this strategy, you will gain more respect from others because your charisma will increase immensely.

We are more likely to take responsibility if we like someone or something.

If we love flowers, we like to take care of them; if we love pets, we like to take responsibility for them; and if we love ourselves, we also like to take responsibility for ourselves. So be aware that you are valuable, lovable and very special.

If you like yourself, love yourself – then you will also like to take responsibility for yourself.

Exercise 15:

1. Write down three things that you liked most about your work and/or your workplace.

2. How are you doing with your own little programme for more physical well-being?

Compare your defined programme from Exercise 12 again. If you are not satisfied with the implementation, adjust the programme and start again for 7 days to implement this programme. For example, put a post it notes in your bathroom as a ‘morning reminder’.

3. Write down a goal that you would like to achieve in the next three months.

And then work out at least five different ways to achieve this goal yourself. You will feel it: the more strategies you have up your sleeve, the more confident you will be. And the greater your inner harmony.
