I love being trilingual and the freedom to move mentally and spiritually through different perceptions of cultures and consciousness. Language can be very tricky and too often emotions and thoughts are impossible to translate into words. For me, some of my favorite words cannot be translated into other languages. One example, is the German ‘Aufbruchstimmung,’ which contains the essence of everything I love about life. Google translates ‘Aufbruchstimmung’ to ‘optimism.’ In Hebrew it translates to אופטימיות.
These translations are far, far away from its true meaning of the word and don’t even come close.
‘Aufbruchstimmung’ contains the deepest yearning of one’s soul to risk it all and to leave everything behind that one has ever known and start something totally new. It’s the sense of absolute excitement of what is still to come.
A true awakening.
I have felt this several times in my life and every time, the great unknown enticed me, I listened to the call, and those were truly the most rewarding steps I could ever have dared to take. I moved across continents and countries, started a new life elsewhere.
Nowadays, my most important journeys are inward and I cherish the spiritual quantum leaps that inform my life and bring new insights and meaning.
What will you do today to listen to your calling? What will you risk to truly know who you are?
