About Me — But More About You

An Introduction To My Friends at ILLUMINATION

Merworthy. I have been writing and learning about personal development since I was 17 years old, but I find it extremely difficult to find words about myself.

As Dr Mehmet Yildiz said, “This is an opportunity to move out of your comfort zone and show your confidence”. So I want to present myself as authentically as my person allows.

But simply as said — as one of my role models, Alan Watts already mentioned:

“Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.”

Personally, I find it amazing how people evolve from day to day, and depending on their interests, habits, values, patterns… become a new, constantly changing person.

For this reason, I don’t want to talk about my past, neither about facts about my person. What I want to write about are things that have an effect and can change something.

The Reason Why I Write

You. That simple.

At the age of 25, I am still a young student of life. But I have already decided to use my words to create a loving and positive world.

This is not possible alone.

Therefore I would like to thank you — for each and every one of you who reads these words. Only together we can achieve something great.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.“ — Margaret Mead

And that is all that counts. Of course, I have personal goals. My ego often takes control and often makes me forget my values and goals. I think that’s how everybody feels. We are only humans.

But here we have a great platform on ILLUMINATION to motivate each other. So once again a big thank you to Dr Mehmet Yildiz for the invitation and all of you who read these words. I am very happy to be a part of this publication.
