On writing naturally

I wrote tons of words to post a nice article on this blog today. But I didn’t like it. There was no flow.
So I write a new one. This article does not have to be better but it feels more like me.

To write naturally with not too much editing and still having something great to say is my personal dream of writing.

I don’t like to rearrange sentences till the hole article is some kind of thing I don’t like anymore.

Writing should be fun and I think this naturally writing, that feels like speaking makes writing just wonderful.

So feel the flow of writing, it’s important to have as much fun as possible while doing it and never stop. Some people on the planet may like your style. Just be yourself.

Follow your own path

Right now my head is full of ideas I want to share with all of you. One of these is the idea of your own path. Every single human has his or her own path to follow. Whether you know it or not you are on some kind of path.

It’s important that the path you follow is what you truly want and makes you happy.

Recently, i keep thinking a lot about how people live there lives and what they do for a living and whether they are happy with it or not.

I also look at my own self and think about where I’m going. I have chosen my path. I like my path.

Yes, there is a path of life -your life-, but also a path you take for a project … like a blog.

If you read older articles of this blog, you’ll notice, that the blog was not started this year, but years ago. I posted some articles with a lot of time between them, always asking myself if the things I talk about are worth it.

But to go back on track – yes also this article is following some kind of path – and i want to talk about my thoughts about the path that I take for this blog.

I’d like to share some ideas, thoughts and stuff with you, that helped me and may help you too. I don’t write for a big audience, but for people like you who like my style of writing and like to connect with me. Even if it’s only one true fan I keep writing for. It’s better to have one true reader I can help than hundreds, who don’t get anything out of my words.

I am fascinated by the idea of minimalism, so that’s part of the path where this blog is heading. What minimalism means for me and what it means for my life or your life is what you’ll read on this blog.

I invite you to follow your own path by joining me. If you decide that this blog may help you to follow your own path, that’s fine, if not, that’s fine, too. It’s your decision.

Do you really rock your Life? I mean: ROCK? Do you want to rock your Life?

What do i mean when i say: To rock  your Life?

Thats the first point: Do you know what rocking your life means for you?

Does it mean, to get the job of your dreams, do the things your love  or do party every single night?

You are not satisfied with your current situation, searching for ways how to change something. You want every single day to be a great day. You want to enjoy Life, and give happiness and joy to the people surrounding you? You want to take action and control your life? You don’t know when to start?

  • Start today.
  • Talk with friends.
  • Write about it.
  • Change.

I’ll write about life, changing things, getting the power you need and having joy rocking your life in some future articles.

So till then, feel free to talk about how you want to rock your life or how you are rocking your life in the comment section.

Do it your way.

No matter how good things work for other people. Maybe they don’t work for you.

There are many ways to live your life, to do the things you have to do in a good way, in your own way.

You know the best what keeps you doing things. There are many people around you, who may life their life in a specific way. But it’s not your way. You are in a different situation.

So if you try to find a way to do your things, to motivate yourself for doing things, keep it plain simple. Reduce it to the basics that work for you.

You can rock your life in your own way. Try it!

Why focus is important

To focus on the right thing is very important.

Why?

Because if you don’t really know what to focus on, you end up doing nothing but waiting for the right moment. When does this moment come? The answer?
Never. There is never a moment as good as now, to decide what to focus on.

One example is this blog. I started it at this domain monkeyofhope.com at February 1st 2008 (where my german blog was located, which is now at www.rilinger.com/de.) Thats two years! Two years since i startet my blog back in 2008. I had great visions on it. I wanted to blog and blog and blog and rock the internet. I thought „Life“ would be a good topic. And yes it is. Life is all about Life. I want to give the reader something worth reading and i want to write something i like to talk about. The thing is. I love it all. I read a lot of blogs. I read how to become a professional blogger, how to get readers and i always read that just producing good content is the main part for a successful blog. That’s partly true. The most important part of anything to focus on is: Just do it. Do it. Don’t always think about how to get better, how to be perfect. No! I think the development to a good writer is something that is far away.

The focus should be on: Do it, no matter how badly.

That said, i want to produce good content on this blog. Something worth to talk about. But be aware, my english is not perfect. And as silly as it is: Sometimes i only think about my english and that i can’t write like a native speaker and writer and because of this i don’t write anything. But hey. It’s better to write something in a bad english than not to write it. Not writing it means: Beeing afraid of making a mistake.

I’m ready.

I’m ready to make any language mistake in history, so feel free to give me advice. I listen to you.

I just want to do it, no matter how badly.

Andreas auf der CeBIT

Endlich ist es so weit, dieses Jahr bin ich auf der CeBIT in Hannover. Es ist das erste Mal für mich. Heute am Dienstag um kurz vor 10 werde ich das Messegelände betreten, ausgerüstet mit meinem G1 und meiner Panasonic ZX1 um selbst zu dokumentieren, was die größte Messe der Welt so zu bieten hat.

Endlich also nach 10 Jahren finde ich mich wieder auf dem Gelände wo einst auch die Expo 2000 stattfand bei der ich 5 Wochen als Volunteer begeistert Menschen begrüßte.

Ich werde mit Fotos und Videos dokumentieren, was die CeBIT so zu bieten hat und außerdem auch live über meinen twitter-feed berichten, was ich so entdecke. Für 2 Vorträge habe ich mich angemeldet und bin gespannt, was ich dort zu hören bekomme.

An dieser Stelle auch Dank an Daniel und Fania für das CeBIT-Ticket über das ich mich sehr gefreut habe. Wie sehr, werden wir sehen, wenn ich in 8:45 h anfange die CeBIT zu erkunden.

Freies Schreiben

Das Zurückhalten von Informationen, die man schreiben könnte, aber doch nicht schreibt führt dazu, dass die Kreativität nicht voll entfaltet wird.

Im Prinzip ist das Gerhin voll von Informationen die sinnlos oder sinnvoll existiert. Das ständige Nachdenken darüber was sinnvoll und gut oder sinnlos und schlecht wäre führt dazu den Schreibfluss zu behindern. Natürlich kann man versuchen qualitätssteigernde Methoden zu entwickeln aber sicherlich nicht dadurch, dass man im Vorfeld versucht zu filtern, was man schreiben sollte und was nicht. Es fehlt noch viel, noch sehr viel zum freien Informationsfluss.

Ein sehr guter Ansatz ist das Brainstorming: Feie Gedankenäußerung ohne Zensur.

Und analog dazu das freie Schreiben: Freie Gedankenäußerung ohne Selbstzensur.
