Since we keep hearing: “Great product BUT much too cheap, you know what costs nothing is worth nothing” – we have decided to write a blog article on this topic.
Is it really true that something that costs nothing is also worth nothing? Or is it perhaps just a belief? A sentence that we have heard so often that we simply repeat it and now really believe it?
We find Edward Snowden's quote about the system and the majority very apt at this point: "The whole system is based on the idea that you can convince the majority of anything as long as you repeat it loudly and often. And it works."
The nice thing about this quote is: And it works - not just with negative beliefs but also with positive affirmations/thoughts. What does that look like in everyday life? Are the free mushrooms that you pick in the forest less valuable than those you buy expensively in the supermarket from Lithuania? Or the fruit and vegetables in your garden, is that less valuable? Do you think this comparison is flawed? Or does it depend on your intention, as is the case with money?
Our intention is to implement our heart projects, to find common ground and to connect opposites. Gerald comes from retail and the tool industry, and my professional focus as a psychosocial counselor and kinesiologist with a holistic view of people is helping people to help themselves. The GeMa stick connects these two worlds and is a self-help tool.😉 Another concern of ours is to inform people and cooperate with people. To introduce simple self-help methods, because over the past few years, many people have increasingly felt the desire and have also realized that their health is in their own hands. They can very well do something for themselves and increasingly want to take personal responsibility. The simple and inexpensive GeMa❤️stick is a product that no medicine cabinet should be without. It is holistic and, above all, versatile: activates, balances, supports detoxification & elimination and regulates your body's self-healing powers. In 2025 we will start another heart project with GeMa❤️Hiking. Furthermore, it is our aim with GeMa❤️ to make a social contribution to people and nature and to support meaningful projects. We have recently been able to commission Lebenshilfe Kärnten to sew more stick bags, and they have been busy sewing again for a few days.
Even if everything in this world revolves around money, at GeMa❤️ it's not all about money, but above all about content, values and matters of the heart. Yes, it can also be easy and fun.
For us, money is a valuable means of exchange AND honest money is important to us. From the beginning, our principle with the GeMa❤️ project was never to spend more than we have available. We have implemented a vision, ACTED, one of Gerald's strengths, and for this reason we can offer the GeMa❤️Stock at such a low price. There are also enough customers who really appreciate the fact that the GeMa❤️Stock is so low priced and that the stock bag makes it a lovely and useful gift idea. It is important to us to act honestly; it does not fit with our intention to sell the GeMa❤️Stock at an inflated price. "Simple, sensible and cheap is our strength."
There are people who convert their entire lives into money and at some point come to the realization that with all the money they have, they cannot buy fulfillment, happiness, love or life time. And to be honest, we ourselves lived like that for many years. That's just how life is 😉 - also a belief. Really amazing things happen with or because of money. Many people, including us, had a job that brought in money but was no longer fulfilling. Some people can neither break away from these beliefs nor from such a job and burn out in the process. The images of being more beautiful, higher, further, richer exacerbate this problem even further. Just because the whole system is based on this idea that you can convince the majority of anything as long as you repeat it loudly and often and the whole thing is visible on social media, in newspapers or on TV, that doesn't mean that THAT is the truth. We should all have realized that much by now. With GeMa❤️ we started an experiment, WHAT IS POSSIBLE IF YOU COURAGEOUSLY GO YOUR OWN WAY? What is possible if you don't just dismiss ideas as crazy ideas, but just get started? We jumped in at the deep end, followed our calling and found our calling. For some it's crazy, for others it's extremely brave to leave the beaten track. For us it's a project close to our hearts because we love doing these things from the bottom of our hearts. In addition, this project is a valuable experience and a way to learn something new, an exciting path on which we have had many wonderful encounters so far that enrich our lives. Joy and gratitude.
We appreciate our now much more relaxed relationship with money and no longer believe everything. Simply have enough for the essential things in life, be grateful and content and no longer have to have and DO EVERYTHING. And what is ESSENTIAL? For some, money takes time, for others, time takes money. Sometimes less is often more... 😉
We will be less available for the next few weeks because we need more time for our move. There will be no new posts for the next few weeks and it may take a little longer to respond to emails and comments. Thank you for your understanding.
We hope you have a great time and look forward to seeing you again on the blog or meeting you in person in September.
Gerald & Marion
