Dear friend,

when I reflect on the years of having 80 employees, a decent paycheck, status, company shares and things like that, compared to what I have today and who I am today, there is one measure that has completely changed: its pride.

Although I received a lot of respect and admiration, I wasnt proud of anything I was doing. 

Today, especially reflecting on the past year, I feel immensly proud. 

For the recent achievements and the person I have become and that I am ever-becoming.

I know, I know. We dont want to come across arrogant or self-absorbed.

So sometimes there is a hesitation to say I am proud of my achievements (at least for me).

But what pride really is to me today is understanding, if I am on my “Path to Presence” or not.

I invite you to share things that you are proud of, even if it can be weird.

And I will go first:

  • taking care of myself, even if its hard (as a natural pleaser and giver)
  • saying no to many temptations this year that werent aligned with my values
  • people saying “you’ve helped me change my life” after a coaching
  • reducing distractions and being more present than ever

I feel I have been playing life like a game.

And then I won the game and it didnt make me happy.

For me, THAT game is over.

Whats the alternative? 

Listening, very closely.

To myself, my surroundings. 

Instead of forcing my traumas and old unproductive believes into my life and onto others, I am rather flowing and growing organically in harmony with the world around me.

For me, thats how life make much more sense.
