Up the cups! ? What we can learn from Luther, the old bon vivant!
We know that Martin Luther made a lasting change in all our lives, that he was a great thinker 500 years ago. What many do not realize: Luther and his wife Katharina were also wonderful hosts, enjoyed good food, fine wine, home-brewed beer and life. One more reason to spend a wonderful day today. In the spirit of the reformer himself ...
"For a heart full of joy looks at everything joyfully, a heart full of trouble everything cloudy."
There we go: it depends on the attitude. Luther knew that, too. So, if you woke up with a bad mood today, let's crawl under your blanket, put on a big smile and try to get up again. Who smiles the smile for 60 seconds in his grumpy face, incidentally, has no chance. It is almost impossible to smile without releasing happiness hormones. At the latest after a minute, your head believes you the smile-bluff. He thinks you're in a good mood, and suddenly you actually have her. Just try it. It really works. And already your heart is full of joy.
"And you do well, that you send me the whole cellar of my wine, and a bottle of your beer."
Oh yes, Luther was a connoisseur! He loved good food, fine wine and his wife's home-brewed beer. At table he liked to give speeches, which you can still read today. They were not long, because Luther's credo for good speakers was: "Stand firm, open your mouth, stop soon." In other words, be self-confident, say what needs to be said and then let it be good too! So come to the table and in the best case invite a few friends, so that your first dinner speech also finds listeners. In the Middle Ages, there were always large panels. And together roast, beer and wine taste so good again!
"Music is the best gift of God"
Had Luther had Spotify, he would have really enjoyed it. At that time you could actually only hear music when it was played live. Luckily, that is different today. We can beam the best musicians in the world into their own living room at the push of a button and also tell them what they should play and how often. Not thinking about it for a long time. But is somehow blatant. So boxing and bass please! We do not want to miss the best gift of God today!
"A ghost dealing with various businesses can not gather."
This is about you, girls: multitasking talent or not, Luther is right. Use the day to switch off properly. Luther would go insane if he saw what we juggle at the same time all these days. And maybe sometimes it makes us even crazier than we think. We just do not notice, because this one would have to collect so first ... But we have - holiday thank you - yes, fortunately time today.
"Why do not you belch and fart? Did not you taste it?"
"Efforts make you healthy and strong."
In this sense: a beautiful Reformation!
