The truth of that whoever and whatever you are creating and are intending to create and are intending to gather now and starting to attain things, your attainment maximum is going to last 100 years. That is the other truth. And I do believe people understand exactly what I said. But there comes the fight now again. The fight between, yes,
between this very strong identity that wants to just maintain itself and the other side of just forget about your identity. Be as you are. That's it. No matter what you're going to attain, you have it for 100 years after what is gone. So just be. Don't stress yourself too much with what you don't have. Well, unfortunately... And this is always going to continue like this.
Unfortunately, there are always three ways how you're going to learn this. Sometimes people just need to have the experience to realize, okay, I did it, I got it, now I realize I don't need it. But in the first place, you need to have it. First way of learning. Second way of learning. You do trust a certain teacher. You do trust a certain guide or a mentor.
You just copy the way how he's living his life. So your approach is you just copy because you see, oh, apparently the person lives a good life. So you just copy. Second way of learning. And the third way of learning is you maybe have like a teacher or a master. He tells you some wise words. You contemplate about it. You think about it.
And because you are thinking about it, it already puts you on the alternative path without you needing to try it for yourself. And there will always be people in this world in these three categories. Because simply said, telling somebody, look, don't put your hand in the fire. They're still going to do it. But latest when they do it like two times, three times, then it's done.
But maybe that is also already the lesson involved in this person's life. You have this goal in the mind. You put all your energy, all your effort into trying to achieve that. You're 20 years old. You're trying. You're 30 years old. You're trying. 40 years already, you're still trying. 50 years, you still haven't let go of the idea. Well, at some point, hopefully, you see exactly that...
that senseless approach of how you personally already wasted 30 years of following a goal with the conclusion of two things. Number one, you haven't achieved it yet. Or number two, you didn't have the right way of achieving it. But the bottom line is you have two ways now what to do. Let go of the idea that you need it and redirect your life or redirect your approach
of how you still want to achieve that goal if you don't want to let go of it. But apparently one of these two things is not right. And the more you want your life now, let's say, in the future to be quite different than what you're used to, the more you need to be able to let go. Let go of patterns, let go of the way of thoughts that you had in the last years and months.
Now, if nothing changes about that, there will not come a new life.
So let me draw you a picture. I was a four-year-old boy. having father and mother, Asian origin, being refugees from Vietnam Laos, meaning they ran away from the war, coming to Europe, coming to Germany with the idea that for the children to have a better security on the one side, feeling more safe in Germany without the instability that they witness in their own country.
And so, of course, father and mother with this idea put a lot of pressure in early ages already in terms of you need to be good at school, you need to achieve, you need to prove yourself. So this is the education from father and mother. At the same time, with the age of four, I went into a Shaolin Kung Fu school, learning martial arts.
And every martial artist practitioner probably knows teachers and masters usually are not the ones telling you, oh, yes, you did that very good. Yes, very well. No, they just say, okay, more, deeper, faster, harder. So bottom line is from the age of four growing up, the only thing that in a way I felt was actually you're never enough.
No matter what I brought home in terms of grades, if it was a B, why was it not an A? If it was an A, why is it not an A plus? If I did already 100 push-ups, question is, why don't you make 150? If I was fast already, it was still not fast enough. So constantly this type of never enough. Okay, ultimately meaning, and this is all now I can just tell you 40 years later, but now I can see it.
Ultimately meaning that at some point, this little boy started simply to build up a shield, build up such a shield to be less dependent anymore on what other people think about me. meaning I just started to rely everything in my life purely on what I think.
At the same time, building up emotional blockages and emotional walls, nothing to penetrate and at the same time also nothing to express to the outside. So now...
having entered into a very new circumstance in my life where I need to take into consideration the opinion and the emotional state of my beloved, of my partner, of my son, I can feel how my old patterns sometimes are still trying to sneak in. And so the only thing to do is, what to do to break patterns? Number one, you need to see you have one.
And number two, you need to replace old patterns, which ultimately mean patterns, it's habitual behavior, it's habits. How do you build habits? By continuous practice. behavioral patterns that you continuously do. So there is something about consistency and continuity that ultimately builds a pattern.
And this is now where, for example, in this field of martial arts, that's exactly what it's about, consistency of having a training regimen every day. This is not helpful to like six days per week do nothing and then you go one day to the gym and give your everything. It's better you have some type of consistency throughout the whole day. This is what builds patterns, healthy patterns.
And so similar like this, I would describe now what is somebody supposed to do? Number one, look at yourself. And see yourself. We are all not perfect. But according to the circumstances that you are facing right now today, what type of character do you think, with what do you want to equip your character that he is able to go through this current times in the best possible manner?
What is not useful for you anymore, try to get rid of it and get your new skills in.
