Anne de Wild: The Hummingbird Principle - Know who you are and do what you can!, Gebunden

Klappentext

Know who you are - and do what you can.

Can it really be that simple, given all the challenges we face in daily life? And yet -what if each of us, yes, including you, has a unique role to play in responding creatively to them? What if the events of your life are not random, but threads woven into the living fabric of your biography-quietly calling you toward your life's purpose? What if a small hummingbird could inspire you to act from your own strengths, gently cutting through who you have been, who you think you should be, and what you believe you can or cannot do?

1 - Moon: What do I need to become who I am? Between selfies and inner emptiness, this chapter opens a quiet space for small, rhythmic steps in daily life. It's about embracing your shadows, rediscovering wonder, and bringing order to your inner and outer worlds. Whether through "moon minutes" of tidying up or letting go of social expectations, this chapter lets moonlight fall on your life, inviting you to bring yourself back into alignment.

2 - Mercury: The "Just-Because" Impulse Mercury invites you to live beyond perfect planning. Imagination, failure, and creative expression need room - for children and adults alike. In the tension between structure and freedom, new ways of being together emerge, connecting individuality and community. Curiosity, humor, and flexibility open paths of discovery - sometimes pointless, but never meaningless.

3 - Venus: Who do you think I am? Venus explores youth, identity, beauty, and generational relationships. We discover that youth is not the future - it is the living past of adults. When youthful passion meets experience, genuine creative collaboration can unfold, beyond surface and function. It's time to rethink the way forward.

4 - Sun: The Gift of Golden Nothing Love, anger, support, and self-worth take center stage. True strength shows in the courage to be vulnerable and to accept help. Anger born of compassion can become a healing force. Vitality grows in the balance between closeness and letting go, giving and receiving. Simple - but never easy!

5 - Mars: I want to break free! Mars represents inner strength and responsible action. Especially in midlife, he calls for honest self-confrontation. Inspired by superhero principles, we learn how mistakes become opportunities for growth, endurance, and collaboration. Mars embodies steady transformation and strength of character. He sparks bold new beginnings.

6 - Jupiter: Wait a Minute! Jupiter invites you to release old roles and expectations. Feeling "out of time" opens space for a new sense of self. Inner "shoulds" are questioned. "Wait a Minute" offers pauses for clarity and release - so you don't freeze in perfectionism but grow deeper in your beautifully imperfect humanity.

7 - Saturn: The Courage to Die - and the Fear to Become At transitions, tradition and innovation meet in tension. Here, courage, fear, and enthusiasm create a dynamic balance that shapes transformation. True freedom ultimately arises when we recognize the free individual in the other.

Epilogue: Back down to Earth After every inner journey, time is needed to arrive. In stillness, experiences ripen into memories that sustain us. This book has been such a journey. Trust that what truly matters remains - some things reveal themselves only when the time is right.
