'take care of yourself first'

Beautifully said by Jada Pinkett-Smith:

Make sure that at the end of the day you did those things 
that would make yourself feel happy and those around you will be happy. 

And one of the biggest challenges for women now a days I believe.

Because it means that we have to confront ourselves with the questions: 

what do we want ourselves?

what are the things that are good for ourselves?

what are the things with which we would take care ourselves and make ourselves happy? 

With our relationship

with our children

but also and very important so - with our work.

To live the work modes that make ourselves happy and with which we take care of ourselves 
every single day.

Da war es nicht der Business Plan, sondern die Leidenschaft, die Geschäfte macht

'living incompatible worlds'

is a most beautiful concept 

as I believe most of us say merging incompatible worlds to be impossible

while living this merger possible at the same time.

Living it possible?

Yes, in our everyday actions and encounters

each and everyone practices unconsciously what our rational mind would consider 

impossible - incompatible.

And this I saw to be the case especially regarding the subject of 

Modern Science and Spirituality: 

Implications for development in Africa and in Europe

As behind this rather academically sounding title 

lays a universe 

origin to many of the current challenges we are facing both - 

in Africa and in Europe.

What would happen if we would consciously embrace that ...

>> modern and traditional healthcare go together?

>> traditional and modern political systems go hand in hand?

>> traditional and modern religions live with each other?

>> etc. ...

And the more:

what would be, if we would embrace, that this is something, 

which is already happening? 

Questions and considerations I am looking forward to have discussed during the upcoming ANSA e.V. conference in Bayreuth with my most favourite speaker:
