if in this life I can be anything I want, why not be as much as possible? why, instead of focussing on one thing I’m good at, not focus on many things? once we break down the walls that surround the fort of our limitation, we stand before an ocean of infinite possibilities.

certain thoughts come into our mind at specific times for a reason. I’m not sure what drew me to write my scientific paper in the last year of school about the topic of Woodstock. now, 2 years later, people have been calling me a hippie. when I was 13, yoga played on important role in my life and at this point I’m considering doing an instructor course in India. at 16 I wished myself to be a van-life-person. by now, I finally freed myself from the limiting thought, that I’m not going to be that person, so I’ll soon start my version of van life in Australia.

as I’ve mentioned many times, the only regrets we’ll have on our death bed, will most likely be things we didn’t do, conversations we didn’t have and adventures we didn’t live. if we don’t try out what works best for us and limit ourselves to one or two things, we might be missing out on amazing versions of ourselves. the rich, the successful, the fulfilled and happy people don’t have to be the others. there exists no imaginary wall between them and you, you are them. you only have to believe in yourself enough. shatter that wall separating you from your dreams. don’t wait for that something. it will never come, unless you decide to change your life and run after your dreams. you’re responsible for your own happiness, so start fighting for it. people who seem happy and calm, have managed to shut their ears to critique; well meant, but unnecessary advice; and belief sets of others. they’re living a fulfilled life, because they chose themselves over everybody else.
