Imagine this: I'm out on a wonderful hike, surrounded by nature's beauty. The sun is shining warmly on my skin, making me feel so alive and thankful. Everywhere I look, there are trees, flowers, and plants creating a colorful masterpiece. The birds sing their hearts out, and the little ants are busily going about their day, adding to the charm of vibing through nature. Breathing in that fresh mountain air at over 3000 meters above sea level, it's as if the universe itself is whispering its secrets to me.
As I stroll along, my thoughts start to wander, and I can't help but think about Winnie the Pooh and his friends from...what is it called? The name of the wood...in German, it's something like "Morgen.", isn’t it? Yet, I think I got it. The Hundred Acre Wood. And now I think of the full version in German, it's "der Hundertmorgenwald". It's quite amazing how their world doesn't seem all that different when you're surrounded by the wonders of nature, especially since I also hiked through forests and spent time on beautiful clearings in the forest.
Winnie the Pooh, with his love for honey and simple pleasures, reminds me of the joy in appreciating life's small delights.
Winnie the Pooh, who really loves honey and the little things in life, reminds me to enjoy the small, simple joys, the little things and moments that we almost miss sometimes.
Then there's Tigger, the bouncy tiger. oh, how much I see myself in him. His curiosity is catchy, like when you're excited to discover something new in nature, the universe, simply around you. Listening to it with your ears, seeing it with your eyes, smelling it with your nose, feeling it with your whole body, more profoundly with your heart.
Eeyore may seem a bit sad, but it's a gentle way to say we should be kind and understanding when others are having a hard time.
Piglet, the brave one, teaches us that even when we're scared, we can find courage inside ourselves, even in the most difficult moments.
Pooh sharing his honey pot is so pure, so loving, like a sweet lesson in giving without expecting something back, whatever you're giving. Sometimes just being there is enough for yourself and others. I love to spread energy, positivity, optimism, joy of life, gratitude, the openness to embrace everything around you. We're all different because we ARE!, I think. I love to embrace exactly that.
I think these characters aren't purely fictional characters; they're like companions right in front of or beside me, hidden in plain sight, yet fully alive and visible to some.
Yet, as I continue my hike, I ponder whether I've been playing a role in my own life. At times, it feels like I'm wearing masks to fit into others' expectations, losing sight of my true self. It's as if I'm trying to fit into someone else's reality.
But when I drop those masks and just be myself, life becomes more vibrant. It's not about chasing far-off external happiness anymore; it's about finding joy, love, and fulfillment in the present moment from within and everything that surrounds me this very moment hiking through nature, actually through the universe.
While out in nature, I think about finding a balance between the wisdom of Winnie Pooh and his Hundred Acre Wood and being true to myself. I'm excited to delve deeper into this in my upcoming podcast episodes and blog posts.
Nature teaches profound lessons to me, and Winnie the Pooh and his friends have been my trusted companions over the years. More or less consciously embedded in my thoughts and actions. Stay tuned as I want to explore these thoughts further in future episodes. In the meantime, let the beauty around you inspire you to embrace life as it is.
I often find myself multitasking, lost in thought about life, and living it to the fullest. Sometimes, I've felt a bit down, like a form of depression, when I realized I wasn't being my true self. It's like my body's way of taking a break from the act I put on for the world, especially myself.
You see, I've been trying to fit into a mold that's not really me. Numerous times, continuously in the past, and through my life's journey less and less lately. It's an ongoing path, a part of thewhynotway. A lot of time in the past and still sometimes subconsciously, I've been working so hard to be somewhere I'm not, mentally exhausting myself and losing touch with reality. I've been acting, pretending to be someone else. Who? Well, that's a great question. The simple answer is, that it's not really the true me. It's a shape created by external influences.
But when I break free from that and let my genuine self shine, life takes on a new meaning. It's not about acting for some future happiness or fulfillment; it's about feeling love, joy, gratitude, and life itself in the present, the moment right now. I've let go of certain concepts and thoughts that held me back, allowing me to be truly me.
So, as I enjoy the beauty of nature, I feel the rush and the balance of consciousness living inside me and all around me. I sense the wind, air, water, and the sounds of nature in all their forms, helping me discover my true passion. Thank you, universe.
In the end, I've learned that when you put your heart into something you truly love, it's like finding a hidden treasure within yourself. It's a bit like discovering a well-buried treasure chest on a sandy beach. You need a few shovels, some helping hands, and a full commitment to uncover it.
So, as we hike, walk, vibe, strive, and hustle on this journey together, I'm ready for an exciting adventure of self-discovery and living life, while fully respecting nature and everything that belongs to it, everything. This experience raised my curiosity years ago, when and still continues to uplift my spirits.
Amidst the beauty of nature and the wisdom of Winnie the Pooh, what's the most real and true YOU that you've found, and how can you take care of and share that in your daily life, even when it's tough sometimes? Keep in mind, it can be hard work, oh I know, every day, every moment but the rewards are definitely worth it.

Reencontrando la Autenticidad: La Sabiduría de la Naturaleza y la Perspectiva de Winnie the Pooh
Imagina esto: estoy disfrutando de una maravillosa caminata, rodeado de la belleza de la naturaleza. El sol brilla cálidamente sobre mi piel, haciéndome sentir tan vivo y agradecido. Dondequiera que mire, hay árboles, flores y plantas creando una obra maestra llena de color. Los pájaros cantan con todo su corazón, y las pequeñas hormigas van ocupadas con su día, añadiendo encanto a esta experiencia en la naturaleza. Inhalando el aire fresco de la montaña a más de 3000 metros sobre el nivel del mar, es como si el universo mismo me susurrara sus secretos.
A medida que avanzo, mis pensamientos comienzan a divagar y no puedo evitar pensar en Winnie the Pooh y sus amigos de... ¿cómo se llamaba? El nombre del bosque... en alemán, algo así como "Morgen", ¿verdad? Pero creo que lo recordé. El Bosque de los Cien Acres. Ahora recuerdo la versión completa en alemán, es "der Hundertmorgenwald". Es sorprendente cómo su mundo no parece tan diferente cuando estás rodeado de las maravillas de la naturaleza, especialmente porque también he caminado por bosques y pasado tiempo en hermosos claros del bosque.
Winnie the Pooh, con su amor por la miel y los placeres simples de la vida, siempre me recuerda a apreciar las pequeñas alegrías que se nos presentan.
Luego está Tigger, el tigre enérgico y saltarín. Oh, cuánto me veo a mí mismo en él. Su curiosidad es contagiosa, como cuando estás emocionado por descubrir algo nuevo en la naturaleza, el universo, simplemente a tu alrededor. Escuchándolo con tus oídos, viéndolo con tus ojos, oliéndolo con tu nariz, sintiéndolo con todo tu cuerpo, y aún más profundamente con tu corazón.
Eeyore puede parecer un poco triste, pero es una manera suave de decirnos que debemos ser amables y comprensivos cuando otros están pasando por momentos difíciles.
Piglet, el valiente amiguito, nos enseña que incluso cuando tenemos miedo, podemos encontrar valentía dentro de nosotros mismos, incluso en los momentos más difíciles.
El gesto de Pooh al compartir su tarro de miel es tan puro, tan amoroso, como una dulce lección sobre dar sin esperar nada a cambio, sea lo que sea que estés dando.
A veces, simplemente estar allí es suficiente, tanto para ti como para los demás.
Me encanta difundir energía, positividad, optimismo, alegría de vivir, gratitud, la apertura para abrazar todo lo que te rodea. Todos somos diferentes ¡porque SOMOS! Creo que eso es lo que me encanta abrazar.
Creo que estos personajes no son solo personajes de ficción; son como compañeros que están justo delante de mí o a mi lado, ocultos a simple vista, pero completamente vivos y visibles para algunos.
Sin embargo, mientras continúo mi caminata, reflexiono sobre si he estado interpretando un papel en mi propia vida. A veces, parece que estoy usando máscaras para encajar en las expectativas de los demás, perdiendo de vista mi verdadero yo. Es como si estuviera tratando de encajar en la realidad de otra persona.
Pero cuando dejo caer esas máscaras y simplemente soy yo mismo, la vida se vuelve más vibrante. Ya no se trata de perseguir una felicidad lejana; se trata de encontrar alegría, amor y satisfacción en el momento presente, desde dentro y todo lo que me rodea en este mismo momento mientras camino por la naturaleza, en realidad, a través del universe.
Mientras estoy en la naturaleza, pienso en encontrar un equilibrio entre la sabiduría de Winnie Pooh y su Bosque de los Cien Acres y ser fiel a mí mismo. Estoy emocionado de profundizar en esto en los próximos episodios de mi podcast y entradas de blog.
La naturaleza me enseña profundas lecciones, y Winnie the Pooh y sus amigos han sido mis compañeros de confianza a lo largo de los años. Más o menos conscientemente integrados en mis pensamientos y acciones. Manténganse atentos, ya que quiero explorar estos pensamientos más a fondo en futuros episodios. Mientras tanto, deja que la belleza que te rodea te inspire a abrazar la vida tal como es.
