Nichts erklären, nichts entwirren, nichts aussprechen müssen. Einfach innehalten. Einfach SEIN. Ja. --- Be aware. Rest here, for a breath, for a moment— not to fix, but to trust.

Und weiter lauschen. --- And then, to rise and do the next right thing. To care— for myself, for others. Und dann, aufstehen und das Nächste, Richtige tun.

My word for the day is AWARE : BEWUSST What is your WORD FOR THE DAY ? ~ @Emma Fábryová @Hamza Glam @Kelly Miller @Kai Cerar @Lisa Vanderveen @Danielle Wright @Daniel Costa or anyone else ?

Not passive. Alert. From awareness flows gratitude. Care. Transformation. **A**ttentive & ALERT **W**atchful **A**wake **R**eceiving **E**ngaged Proverbs 4:25-26 (AMP) "Let your eyes look directly ahead [toward the path of moral courage] and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you [toward the path of integrity]. Watch the path of your feet carefully [and make your path of moral courage safe and firm] and all your ways will be established and secure." --- **DEUTSCH** GERMAN Das Wort **BEWUSST** kommt von *bewissen* — "um etwas wissen." Es bedeutet: inneres Wissen. Wachsein. Gegenwärtig sein. Verwandt mit dem englischen aware*— beide aus der gleichen alten Wurzel: wer- — "wahrnehmen, achtsam sein."

I was thinking a lot about purpose and doing work that is fulfilling and after some deep thought and after I watched a couple episodes and YouTube videos on this I had a thought.. Where does Fulfilment comes from? And the thought that I created was that fulfilment doesn’t come from physical objects like cars, money and houses those are all just side quests and they don’t truly fulfil a human But the thing that truly fulfills is Creation, Contribution and Connection So you guys agree? What is Fulfilment for you?

Hello team! I'm a international athlete I play american football & rugby, so I can hack my travel experiences. The main languages I'm learning and brushing up on are Portuguese, serbian, spanish, german and french/creole. If you've never had brazilian hot dogs you have to try not what you would expect. I love me some serbian burek, sarma, and palachinka for dessert. Tortas with the green sauce are fire. German schnitzel for the win. Im Haitian descent so I believe we cook the best food on the planet hahaha but im obviously a food connoisseur. Im just looking for a system to keep up with all these languages so I can band with all my people's next stop Stuttgart Germany let's connect blessings to you all thanks Kai for creating the community 🙏 ❤️
