Trust and Fornos

Trust is an inner attitude in life, one that thrives on our own intuition. It empowers us to follow our inner guiding light. If we follow this gift, life unfolds its abundance around us. I am firmly convinced of this. The year 2024 marked the beginning of such a journey for me.

Judith

I met Judith about 16 months ago. Our paths haven't yet crossed – although we're often very close. I feel a magical connection between us and believe that this connection is cosmic and intended by the universe. Trusting this connection and holding onto it is my challenge now and in the coming weeks. I also believe that Judith is ahead of me in this respect, that she also senses the magic of our love, and that's why she constantly encourages me to continue on our shared path. She has faith in a life together and therefore clings to it. Last week, I spent three days in northern Germany to see her. A date we had planned together fell through shortly before.

2024 - the beginning of my artistic work

Trusting my own path, listening to my gut, and following it is something I'm increasingly internalizing. Gaining inner clarity is the way to achieve this for me. Last late summer, I found my way to art and to Fornos, which I create almost daily. The commercialization and marketing of my art is now gaining momentum. This idea was born, and I feel an incredible pull toward the gateway through which I'm moving more and more, thereby bringing my mission to fruition. Sometimes, paths in life begin with difficulties and, precisely because of this, lead to great success. I feel this pull toward success for my art very strongly.

A men's group helped with my development

An example from my personal development, a piece of the mosaic for this new beginning, might serve as an illustration: A visit to a men's group in Aschaffenburg in 2005 was one such story. Initially, I didn't want to return to the men's club there – my partner at the time, Gudrun, encouraged me to continue. It turned into 18 years of active participation in one group. These years led me out of the darkness of my mental health condition. :D I'm grateful for that time in the group. Today, I'm a different Jost, and I often feel like I did before my mental health condition began when I was 22. Therefore, I no longer need that circle. <3
