Thoughts about the last months and goals
The last couple of months have been fairly new and challenging for me. I finished my internship in Munich, started a new one closer to my hometown and developed a love to work independently apart from my full time job. Sadly, traveling has not really been part of all that but that is okay. Sometime you have to step back to save some coin for future travels! So here I am…new year, new goals, new dreams and many ways to achieve them.
I am super stoked and excited to see what this year brings. Im looking forward to starting my very first job, become even more independent and just cherish my life, my friends, my family and the fact that this world that we live in is just so rich of natural phenomenons, culture and people that have so many different stories to tell. And I just want to listen to all of them!
Lack of inspiration
Another thing I have had to face lately is a lack of inspiration. I was not feeling inspired to do many things. Things like writing on this blog, taking pictures, learning new things and just exploring weren’t crossing my mind for quite some time. During that time I felt stuck in a static moment of just not doing anything but also not knowing what I’d do first if I would be able to organize the mess that was going on in my head. But sometimes ‘no pain no gain’ really is true.
I felt, and in a way still feel, overwhelmed by all the goals and dreams I had and have and struggle to follow the advice of everyone I talk to about this matter because they tell me to take a step at a time. An advice which seams so obvious to me and which I would give any other person who’d come to me with thoughts like mine. But sometimes things turn out to be harder than expected.
I just came to the realization that it’s hard to take advice from others but even harder to take your own. And…you don’t have to walk around feeling just so inspired from anything and anyone. It’s okay to feel uninspired at times. You just have to find your way and resources to get that inspiration back.
Each of you, as an individual, must pick your own goals. Listen to others, but do not become a blind follower.

The importance of milestones
Sometimes I really want to have it all at once. I lack patience in some fields and don’t realize, that some things need time to develop. I can already picture myself in the future being happy with the goals that I have achieved and a job that I really want and for which I am working hard for. But I want my future to be my now. And that is mostly not how it works… Take your time to achieve your goals but at the same time know what you want and how you want to achieve your very personal milestones. The good things need time to develop.
What I had to admit to myself is that there will be rocks on the way to a state where I will be completely in balance with myself, will have a job I love and just grateful about everything. This journey will be a challenging climb that requires the ability to make compromises and take steps that you thought you would never do.
Why am I doing this?
I am doing this because it gives me hope. Hope that the life ahead of me will be filled with even more sunshine, creativity, happiness, knowledge dreams that I am eager to achieve. Eager to always become a better version of myself.
And because I know that the tougher the climb, the better the view.
