Did you know ...
... that you can be, do and have anything you want?

Do you believe that, or are you rather sceptical? Whether you believe it or not, I can show you that it's true and help you get it : anything you want.

A Paradise  

You can live in paradise, fulfill any of your dreams if you really want to.

I am doing it, too and on this website you can find guidance, advice and resources on how to achieve it yourself.

If you want to escape the rat race of a life without meaning and joy, read on.

To really enjoy life you need to love what you do - or finally do what you love. Living well means living your own life, not someone else's idea of a good life.

That is simpler than you think. Not easy, but simple.

My great passion is personal growth and self-development. The work I do with BLUE CRANE and my KOMPASS Blog helps me realize my dreams and develop my talents - I hope to inspire you to do the same as a reader and fellow traveller in life.

My name is Berend Lange, I am German and I have lived in South Africa for 22 years until 2006. You can find out a bit more about me here and contact me from here. I hope to find like-minded people all over the world from this platform and would like to encourage you to correspond with me.

So much about me - what about you?

What is YOUR single most important priority in life ?

You can be, do and have anything you want - if you think you can!
But if you doubt yourself, it'll never work.

Everyone wants to improve in some ways, and that includes me. I keep this website to help us make the necessary changes because if we don't do it ourselves, others will model our lives according to their ideas.

Do you want to carry on like this?  

Find out here how to adjust your direction to live the exciting life you want.

All services and products I offer here and in COMPASS are designed to inspire you to find a new perspective on life.

Create your own reality the way you want it - because you can, if you think you can. The Universal Law of Attraction says that you’ll draw into your life whatever is on your mind, whether you want it or not.

Like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Attraction is always at work and all you have to do is act on your thoughts in the right sequence in order to bring the energy of ideas to physical reality.

You probably think that your top priority in life would be your family, or your work - maybe a hobby or sport you are passionate about, your financial situation or a happy relationship.

But are you thinking about these issues in the right way?

As much as your life may centre around these important issues, however, they are only backdrops for the stage on which you act to fulfill your purpose in life - and you don't have to find it, you can create it !

Life is the only game with the sole purpose of learning the rules.

This is true whether you are aware of it or not. The situations you are confronted with in life are tailormade to fulfill your very own destiny, and the way you deal with them determines whether your life unfolds as a struggle or in happiness. Learning the rules of the game called life is your top priority !

Why are personal growth and self-development not at the top of our daily to-do list then ? There are many reasons - one of them is that we simply forget about conscious self-development in our hectic lives that are filled to capacity with desires, demands and obligations in work and play.

Another reason is that we get lost in the seeming complexity of the subject of spiritual growth, whilst in reality there are a few simple fundamental rules which, when understood and observed, make all the difference between a successful life and an unhappy existence.I have compiled the most important of these rules in my essay The REAL Facts of Life.

We need to be reminded often that we are only playing our role on a stage, that there is life after the curtain falls. I have created this website to share what I know about personal growth and help you focus on your own self-development.

BLUE CRANE and COMPASS for your personal development

I make it easy for you to get in touch with your most important priority in life : I monitor personal growth publications and regularly distribute selected material in my COMPASS WeBlog, offering food for thought, encouraging guidance and an opportunity for introspection.

You also have a chance to contribute to BLUE CRANE and COMPASS : In the BLUE CRANE Writer's Challenge I invite you to write about your own experiences and publish what you want to share with others.

Products and recommendations to inspire you

Please feel free to explore my pages for information products and recommendations on this website - you'll find some interesting tools to develop a new perspective for yourself and learn from others. I wrote my eBook MOVING HORIZONS, for example, as a journal of articles about the challenges and highlights on my own road of personal growth.

Create the life you want - I am doing it, too

Let's face it, most of mankind is still not aware that we create our own lives by the way we think and act at any given moment, that our environment and circumstances are a result and mirror image of our ideas which all too often get stuck in old habits, hampering our creativity. Yet we live in times of enormous change which require that we adapt quickly and effectively.

Since I have never met anyone who is entirely happy with every single aspect of his life, I assume that you would like to make a few changes, too. We are in the same boat, and although I may know a lot about growing as a person, that doesn't mean I have all the answers.

The opposite is a lot closer to the truth : every answer we find also brings a hundred new questions - and that doesn't exactly make life easier if you are blessed with an insatiable curiosity, like I am.

When I wrote The REAL Facts of Life I created a summary of all the fundamental principles governing life for myself which we have to learn in order to develop our full individual potential. The concept is indeed simple, I found, but integrating it in our lives is not easy - it is in fact a long journey. This journey, however, not the destination, is our life.

How do we learn then? Do we have a choice?

We cannot escape this process - we cannot not grow. And we can not grow alone, mankind is connected on an invisible level. You and I are not separate, although it looks like it at first. But that's the way nature is designed, evolution is the whole purpose of life and it will never stop.

If you want to be free from external restraints, accept and comply with the laws governing life - and do it voluntarily, otherwise life will force you. That's the best advice I can give you if you want to avoid unnecessary suffering and be as happy as you can be on the stage you have chosen to play your role.

Sharing my knowledge on personal growth is the purpose of this website, because I know that I can best succeed by helping others to succeed.
