You are on this earth for a reason.

God has a plan for you and a task to do it!

(Markus Drexler, 2015)

Life often writes the craziest stories. Today I would like to tell you more about one of them. It all started at the age of 14 - I was a pubescent teenager, completely green behind the ears, shy and reserved at school and with the girls - my world back then was just playing football. Until this stroke of fate came into my life in my immediate vicinity and pushed me in a new direction, unknown to me. I came across a book by Joseph Murphy about positive thinking and even though I didn't always understand everything right away, it just captivated me. Many years later I realized: Both were the trigger to find myself. More than 30 years have passed today and I was able to learn, recognize and experience a lot in all that time. What it means to lead a conscious life. To have a really positive outlook on life. How much our thoughts and words affect our lives. How to find your calling and get real fulfillment from it. How to be an overcomer and a leader, and how beautiful it can be to live a life of glory. I really enjoyed going this route. A way of "preparation" and "preparation" for life, for purpose and for great tasks afterwards. My friends and my familiar surroundings couldn't do much with it. For many I was just a "nut" or "dreamer" and for some I just got weird. But it was about me and I wanted more of it. I was hungry for it. Of course, persistent fears, self-doubts or personal crises tried to dissuade me from the path, but I also learned to remain steadfast, to be disciplined and to go through no matter what tests were waiting for me.

The good thing about it was: not everyone found me funny or called me a weirdo and a dreamer. Some noticed a real change and development in me and me. They were grateful that I had the sensitivity for them, that I was a very good listener and that I always had a positive word ready. Encouraged and strengthened with a different energy, they felt much better afterwards. Should there be a task waiting for me here? Yes, I could well imagine that. After the next violent blow of fate in 2003, the death of my sister, the time had come. During this difficult time I realized: Go out into the world and show people how precious life is. Encourage them, strengthen them, show them a different perspective, help the fearful, desperate and hurt people in their lives. Yes, I really liked that! So the big moment had come. My heart's task and calling came into being. To accompany people through life. I dared to take on this wonderful task and grew more and more into it. In 2007, under the training of Kurt Tepperwein, I graduated as a life teacher / coach in Austria. Three days later, on July 10th, 2007, I founded what is now "Campus 4 Life" and began to devote myself fully to my calling. Since then I have been able to be of valuable help in their lives to over 20,000 people from German-speaking countries (including Austria and Switzerland)!

In addition to my calling and my heart's work, there was much more in my life - a real heart's desire. I always wanted to write my own book. Of course, as it is, you will immediately be smiled at and attacked from some quarters again. But anyone who knows me knows that all this envy, which I still experience from many sides to this day, is even more motivation for me to do things even more. However, I really had little idea how to get started with it and what I wanted to write about. After my sister died in 2003, I knew. I received the right inspiration and so I began to write down positive and conscious life tips. Firstly, I lived it myself and, secondly, there was my vocation, in which I wanted to pass this on to other people. There have been darned days with it in which I wrote absolutely nothing on paper. Real writer's block tormented me. In addition, there were always doubts as to whether the book would then be good enough to be able to publish it on the book market later. However, one thing was always present: imagination. My imagination. The idea of holding this book in your hands one day. Yes, it was really alive inside me at all times and encouraged me to go ahead and believe in it firmly. And it should pay off .... After 4 years of intense, spiritual and lively imagination, in 2007 I actually held the book in my hands. The dream of my own book came true, my heart's desire came true. I had tears in my eyes, my joy at this wonderful moment was so indescribable. My very first book had hit the book market. Not perfect, but with a lot of passion. Today I am the author of a total of 12 books full of encouragement, motivation, inspiration and orientation for life!
