Since now everyone is doing this 2016 tb, lets think about that for a bit. Back then, there was a guy with no plan in life, just living and vibing in his student dorm. Not really thinking at all, like what are consequences? There have been vague ideas on what life could be. But no clear path in sight. I knew this isn’t it, the feeling of wasting potential, not living up to my standards, really creeped to my bones. At this time around, I met my good friend We had great conversations about life, philosophizing, etc. and the tone of my typical conversations changed. It started to challenge my view on life. I got new and fresh perspectives. Lots of that philosophizing about life, talking to many different people, sparked ideas in my mind that set the foundation for all my future. The real change started on a trip to California on an afternoon at the beach. I sat there watching the waves and asked myself one question: If nothing changes, where am I in 10 years? The answer scared me. Then I took every input I gathered and started to form values and ideas for my future life. It was a hard & harsh self reflection on where I wanna go and what my future should look like. I started to manifest those ideas into my daily life, with daily small steps now into the right direction, there was now a corridor in which I was able to move and not an inch outside. Like it ignited a form of personal development that lasts till today. Now fast fwd 10 years later, I consider myself one of the luckiest and happiest people on the planet. I’m grateful for how it is and having the right people on this journey is for real world changing. If I would need to go back 10 years, I would challenge my beliefs constantly. Not to destroy them – but to see which ones actually hold up. What belief are you holding onto that you’ve never really tested?
