Successful but unhappy!As a General Manager of a international business hotel in central Vienna I had a great future ahead. This well paid work allowed me to drive a BMW convertible and having an expensive lifestyle. What most people did not know were that I was over worked, not happy and that I frequently suffered from ulcers.
I knew for sure that I could not go on like this and I also knew that to be able to live a happy life, I would have to follow my heart instead of my head. As everyone else I have been listening to what you are supposed to do instead of listening to what you love to do. My life was a mess.
Finally I gathered all my courage and took the decision to make a change. It was scary and terrifying to quit my job not knowing what would happen after. I sold my BMW and bought a motorcycle which I always had been dreaming of. I took all my expensive suits and sold them at the flea market (some were stolen). I did not care as I started to feel better and I slowly got some of my life energy back.
My so called friends thought I was crazy and refused to talk to me anymore. How could I leave a lifestyle that most people were just dreaming of?
I spent my first 7 months taking care of my very young son when his mother looked after her restaurant. This was one of the best times I ever had, being close to my child. Unfortunately my partner betrayed me several times and I could not live with it.
It was time to take the next step. I wanted to travel and learn from other people and cultures and I knew that I could not live in Vienna anymore. I had suddenly another life decision to take.
Should I stay with my son and be an unhappy father or should I move on and find another future that he eventually could share with me?
Again I followed my feelings that I should move on although I had a broken heart. My dream was to learn from indigenous people like the native American Indians, the native Hawaiians, aborigines in Australia, Maoris in New Zealand and the native South Pacific island people.
I wanted to get knowledge about life from these cultures and form a solid foundation for my own life and possibly for others.
I learned more than you can imagine and I was received with love and respect wherever I went. Finally I came to a small South Pacific island called Samoa where my life suddenly changed.
During my 10 days visit to Samoa I met a fantastic local girl that I now have been married to for 14 years. She gave me another 2 children plus 4 kids that she had from before. One of my biggest happiness is a girl that we adopted who today is my oldest daughter.
After 14 years successful running of our small hotel plus a resort our life suddenly changed. Samoa were hit by a tsunami wave and I was separated from my family and had no idea if they were still alive. I finally found them running through the forest with two small babies.
I suddenly learned how precious life is and how much you should value your family and everything you have. Life is too short to dwell in unhappy activities and things you do not enjoy. I felt very strongly that I needed to share this with you and other people.
Tourism came to a full stop and our income dried up as well. We moved away from the beach and started a new life focusing on internet marketing. With no money and a big family to feed we had many days when we were eating rice only, for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This was the first time in my life I experienced what it means to be hungry.
After much struggle and incredible help from my family in Europe, our life got better again. More than ever I understood that I need to share my gained knowledge and experience with you and other people to make you understand how much you should value what you have and only involve yourself in activities that you love to do.
You are unique and you have your unique skills that you are born with, together with your unique life experience. Using your special skills and experiences from your upbringing, you will do certain things better than any other person on this planet.
I want to show you how you find your way to your uniqueness in life, only doing things you love to do and also make a possible healthy living out of it. There is no other way to success and happiness. I share it with you in my free newsletter.
Sign up and let us explore a better life together. Let me tell you what I learned from many indigenous cultures and from my own life experience. Fill in your name and email address in the form at the top, right side of this page.

Why do we have to suffer before we can see the light at the end of the tunnel?* You tried every medicine or method but nothing worked.
* You were almost giving up but decided to make one last effort.
When you get to the state where nothing matters anymore and you have nothing to loose, this is the time a shift is taking place.
There is no reason why you can not heal yourself instantly and save time and suffering. Why do you go through all this trouble?
The reason why most of us have to suffer is because we are not able to make a mental shift quickly that is needed to take us to the next level.
You are holding on to old and useless thoughts and believes that somehow served you in the past. They are like old friends that are very hard to part from. It is simply comfortable to stay with the old and avoid changes.
You suffer and make no progress as your mind is not allowed to reach out for new possibilities. Although you tried many new things, they were not fully accepted.
Now when you finally reach the point where you can not go any further and the battle is almost lost, a shift is taking place.
You suddenly let all barriers fall and let go of old believes and thoughts. There is nothing to loose anymore, you just let everything go.
Whatever you blocked out before is now entering into your life and suddenly you start healing and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Everyone is affected by the upbringing in life. Starting from small you pick up believes from parents and relatives. Continuing with school, work, military service, church and community that all adds on to our mental collection.
It is easy to understand how hard it must be to part from many of these past influences that you kept as a treasure for so long.
Our world is changing with lightening speed and so must you, avoiding not getting trapped in the dark.

We are frequently talking about eating healthy food and how we should add vitamins, minerals and more to our daily diet to be able to make our bodies fit for the challenge of what we call life.
The food we are eating is certainly important for our well being and to be able to develop and function properly, but it is just a part of the puzzle.
Cars can not function if we feed it with bad gasoline and the same will happen with our human body if we feed it with bad food. It will be just a matter of time before the engine or our health breaks down.
We could eat the most healthy food on the planet, and still not be successful with our health plan, if we do not understand the importance of having a healthy mind.
It was ones said, a man becomes what he think about all day long. This is very true as all creation starts with a thought.
Look around yourself. Every man-made thing you can see started with a thought, which initiated a creation of an object.
You are not different and whatever you keep in your mind you are creating. Positive and loving thoughts about yourself and others will create a balanced and fulfilled life.
A life filled with hate, greed, jealousy and gossips will not create a healthy body even if you are eating the best healthy food and supplements in the world.
What are people in different cultures doing to reach a very high age and live a fulfilled life?
Studies shows that it has nothing to do with money and what you are able to buy. The most important factors for a long healthy life are as follows:
I strongly believe that we can make a huge difference in our lives by just doing a little bit of exercise in a way that you can enjoy.
Cut out the processed food and go for more fruits and vegetables.
Pick your friends and social environment carefully as they have an enormous influence on your outlook on life.

Samoa in the South Pacific, is not known for gourmet food or cooking but there are certainly a few things that could be compared to other well known dishes like Japanese sashimi.
Because of the location, Samoa has access to fresh tuna fish that is brought in to the fish market every morning. The fresh tuna is not only excellent for making tuna steaks, you can also use it for something called OKA.
The Polynesian people have naturally been using the local products when creating the recipe and still these ingredients will be found in any country in the world.
Another main ingredient in the OKA recipe is the coconut cream which is proven to be very healthy.
Traditional Samoan healers tells us, that the Samoan people were all healthy before the white man brought the processed food to the island.
Today Samoa has one of the highest diabetes rates in the world.
OKA is both healthy and delicious. In Samoa, the OKA is an important part of the Sunday family feast. It is made in the following way:
* Cut the raw tuna in small thumb nail size pieces and put in a bowl.
* Cut cucumber, tomatoes and onion very fine and add it to the bowl.
* Add fresh coconut cream (or from can) sauce together with some lemon juice.
* Add salt and pepper and some chili sauce if you like it hot.
Mix it all together and serve in small cups or bowls.
Leave it in the fridge for some time if you prefer it cold.
Another important food item in Samoa is the palusami.
You start preparing palusami by collecting the young leaves from the taro plant (taro is a starchy edible root, bigger than a potato).
Make a mixture of coconut cream, onion and salt which will be used together with the taro leaves.
Put many taro leaves together and form a small bag. The coconut cream mixture will be poured into the little bag and closed.
A bread fruit leaf is usually used for wrapping the small taro leaf bag together, preventing it from falling apart.
The palusami will now be put on hot stones and baked in what the Samoans call UMU. After about 45 minutes on hot glowing stones and covered by large banana leaves. The palusami is ready to eat. The leaves have now dissolved and mixed with the coconut cream providing a delicious part of the Sunday meal.
Most visitors to Samoa love this traditional food experience where both OKA and palusami plays a big roll.

What would you do?* What would you do if all electricity were gone and not coming back?
* What would you do if petrol was not available any more and will not be again?
* What would you do if water stopped coming in your water tap and toilet
and not coming back again?
* What would you do if the food stores and supermarkets were out of food and they will get no more?
You could not go to your neighbor as they also have no food, water and power. Why am I asking all these irrelevant questions?
I am asking because I like you to see how disconnected you are from the nature. You wouldn’t know how to survive without light in the night, cars to take you wherever you like to go, food from the supermarket to put in your stomach and toilet for your needs.
You can not separate yourself from the nature because you are a part of it, but you can certainly ignore it and decide not to take it into consideration.
We should not be too sure that things could suddenly change and break the fragile chain of convenient services that we always take for granted.
Look at the TV news and see what is really going on in the world today.
If only one of the above mentioned items would fail for a longer period, the western society would collapse.
I am not telling you to attend a survival training, although this could be an eye opener, I just want you to reconnect with the nature by being thankful and respectful for what you have.
Spend some quite time for yourself in the nature and just feel the connection. Let the nature know that you are thankful and that you want to learn from it.
If you have a garden start planting some vegetables and have the pleasure to eat your own food. If you live in an apartment you can still plant vegetables in pots and have the joy of learning how to grow things.
If everyone respected and loved the nature, the world would look much different today. It is never too late to make a change and start being thankful and respectful for what you have.
The nature is not a dead thing and it will positively respond to your thoughts and needs, if you let it.

Watching the American Idol show on TV some time ago, with all the young talented singers that are totally dependent on votes from the American people, I realize what a hard school they go through.
Every week another contestant has to go, until only one idol left.
It is not only the American people judging the artists, also a panel of four persons are telling them what they liked or disliked in their performance.
Although this is a hard school for the young singers, they grow with lightening speed in their confidence every week.
What a fantastic way of learning who they are and to discover the essential ingredients for true success and well being in life.
Below are comments from the judges that are frequently heard:
- You were not connected to your feelings when you sang that song.
- You were in the right place and the song came out in perfect harmony.
- You were all over the place and could not get it together.
- You were focused and everything just connected.
This is the same learning we are facing in real life which is the reason for having or not having health and prosperity.
You need to fully connect to what you are doing in life, getting into that space where nothing matters anymore.
It is only you and nothing can distract you. You are totally focused on what you are doing and what you want.
This is how true healing and health is created, by being in the right space, just loving what you are doing.
You can not be healthy when you are all over the place and focused on nothing with no feelings. At least you will not be very successful.
I am not talking about financial success, although it is following the same rules. I am talking about your personal well being which you can only create by being focused on what you want and bring all your feelings into it.
Study what successful people are doing and you will see the same pattern in all of them. They love what they are doing and that is why they are healthy and successful.
It is time to be clear on what you love to do all day long if no other obligation would stop you.
Find this part of yourself and start thinking about sharing it with others. Watch the outcome, as you might become the healthy and happy idol sooner than expected and be able to make a living out of it.

What is alternative medicine?Alternative medicine is just an alternative way of doing what your doctor is doing when he treats you.
Medicine and healing of sick people have been around as long as humans have been on this planet. All these natural medicines and methods used for many 1000 years by millions of people can not be completely wrong.
Last time you went to the doctor he gave you about 10 – 15 minutes of his time and you were prescribed some chemical medication to kill the symptom of your problem.
It is very unlikely for a person to be able to get to the root of your problem in 15 minutes and that is why doctors cure symptoms and not the source of the problem.
You are the one knowing yourself best and you lived with yourself a whole life. Spend some time to find out what needs to be healed in yourself and get the knowledge and help that is available from other people.
You will find ways that you never thought about before and new paths in your life will open up.
It is your birth right to live a healthy and fulfilled life. Our greatest reward is to see you finding your life purpose and do the things you love to do every day.
A good way is to start sharing your own knowledge, as this leads you into a path that will help 1000s of people. You will soon discover a new fulfillment and purpose for yourself.
Have you thought about, that your biggest problem could be your biggest asset in life? Many people took the knowledge about their problem they have or had and started to help others. At the same time they found their purpose in life and made a living from it.

I have spent my life in many different ways, traveling, working and learning from indigenous people and cultures. I have discovered a wealth of knowledge by the Aborigines in Australia, the Maoris in New Zealand, the native Hawaiians and the native American Indians.
Take advantage of their knowledge and how they honer the nature and the earth.

Healing remedy for thousands of yearsAs I am living in Samoa in the South Pacific, I have access to many of the healing remedies only available in the tropics.
Noni has been cultivated for thousands of years by Polynesians, Malaysians as well as Hawaiians and Tahitians for its therapeutic qualities, and thought to have been the most widely used medicinal plant before the Europeans came.
The people passed down the medicinal uses of noni to their children and grandchildren.
Noni is used to treat problems such as asthma, constipation, gum disease, fever, skin problems, cancer related illnesses, arthritis, digestive problems, diabetes, among many other ailments.
The noni juice also has a very positive effect on weight loss which is important when it comes to cure diabetes.
The noni tree is growing wild in Samoa and every week village people collect the fruits to be picked up by trucks and delivered to families processing the juice.
I have personally used noni juice for 14 years and I am looking forward to every 30 ml taken 3 times a day. The noni juice doesn’t taste very good which is the reason for many people to mix it with other juices.
However, the taste is very easy to get used to and as I said, I look forward to every drop. I drink the noni juice to boost my energy and to keep my immune system strong.
If you suffer from diabetes, the noni juice should not be mixed, as the natural sugar in the 100% pure noni juice will not spike your blood level which could happen with a mixture with other juices.
The Samoan noni juice is of very high quality according to tests in America and today the juice is exported mainly to Japan, China and the US.
There are mixed noni juices readily available on the international market and online. Some claims to sell one bottle every second which could indicate the potential of the noni as a healing product.

Become a magnet of healthIf you ever have been playing with a magnet, you know that around a magnet there is an invisible magnetic field. When a nail comes in contact with this magnetic field, it will be drawn to the magnet, as if by magic.
The nail has no choice.
When the nail comes in contact with the magnetic field it becomes a temporary magnet itself. If you take it out of the magnetic field, the nail goes back to its natural state.
How does this happen?
The atoms in a nail are pointing in all directions and canceling out each others electromagnetic charge. Contrary, the atoms in a magnet are perfectly lined up and their north and south pools face in the same direction.
When a magnet attracts a nail, the atoms in the nail begin to line up to match the atoms in the magnet, to becoming like the magnet.
If you want to become something or attract something you must try to be in the magnetic field of an area or person that you like to become.
If you like to be healthy you must be with healthy people as they will, like the magnet, align your energy to attract more health.
On the contrary, if you are healthy and concentrate on health, people looking for health will be attracted to you. The more aligned and focused you are, the stronger your attraction power.
If you are committed to health you will be a transmitter sending out an invisible signal to every person around you that are in tune with your commitment or message.
In school we made experiments with tuning forks. If you tap a tuning fork, it begins to vibrate and hum, sending out sound vibrations through the air. If you place another tuning fork, calibrated to the same note nearby, the second fork picks up on this vibration and begins to vibrate in harmony with the first fork.
When you are energized and passionate about something, you are also sending out an invisible signal that can be picked up by everyone. People and circumstances in your life start to resonate and hum with your purpose.
like magic, unexpected things start to appear and new ideas start to flow to help you accomplish your committed goals and tasks.
Commitment is the key to start the transmission and magic.
Are you committed to your health?

What kind of questions are you asking?Every day we ask our self different kind of questions that we seek an answer to. Most of us don’t understand what kind of process we start when a question is asked.
When you ask a question your unconscious mind goes to work to find the right answer to your question. Your mind never stops working and although your body is sleeping your mind is still active.
We usually occupy our mind with all kinds of small questions and in return we get small and less important answers. Why are we wasting our energy by not asking the big and important questions?
To ask yourself how to cure your small aches and pains is OK but if you forget to ask the more major questions about how to reach perfect health and balance in your life, your mind will never provide you with the answer.
Think big and ask big questions and you will receive answers and directions to a better healthier life.
Your subconscious mind never talks loud unless you have not been listening at all. We usually get our messages as a whisper or a hunch, which is easy to ignore if you have no time to listen.
You need quite times to be able to get in tune with yourself and listen to your inner voice. Take a walk in the forest or sit by the lake and just be quite and listen to yourself. The answers and hunches you get might surprise you.
It is not enough to ask the right questions if you don’t fully believe that you can have it. You might believe that you can have it but if you don’t believe that you deserve it, it will still not work.
You need to line up your desire, belief and self acceptance if your dream is going to happen.
An airplane needs to attain a certain ground speed to be able to take off and you need to have all engines working in the same direction to make things happen.
* You must really want it
* You must believe that you can make it
* You must believe that you deserve it
Ask the big question, listen for the answer and go for it on all levels and you will have the health that you dream of.
