Hello Friends😁☀️👋
I just did my this year’s Birthday Fitnesses Challenge in Pateley Bridge, Harrogate, cycling 64 Miles with 1,117 m elevation gain. I enjoyed the challenge a lot and finished in good spirits with still some energy left in my tank😁☀️😁☀️🚴♂️🏔
Turning 64 is GREAAAAAAAAAAAT - not even reached halfway of my journey in life!
😁☀️😁☀️😁☀️🌈🌈🌈

Dear Friends,
I was quite lucky to see this very rare full circular double rainbow on my flight back from Warsaw to London. It reminded me that sometimes glimpsing out of the window without a clear objective can help me to see new things and also experience very positive surprises😀☀️🙆♂️🌈🍀
As there are only a few days left in 2021, I wish you and your beloved ones a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year with lot of Prosperity, Happiness and Good Health.
Warm regards
Ernst😀👍☀️
Rare Circular Rainbow
Dear Friends,
In Aug 1982 I was driving together with my fiance towards the North Cape by car. It was a very old car which I bought for around USD 1,500.-. When we arrived in Trondheim, my intuition told me that this car would not make it to the North Cape and back. So I had to make a decision to stop our journey and to return to Switzerland. When we arrived in my hometown, Sattel, Switzerland, the car seized to start up ever again.
On 23 Sep 2021, after 39 years, I finally arrived by car together with my wife (my fiance at the time of our first attempt) at the North Cape. It was such a great feeling! A 39 year old dream come true😁☀️ I had an overwhelming joy of self-fulfillment and happiness that I did not give up on my dream all those years until it came true😁☀️😁☀️😁☀️.
With this in mind, I encourage you, when your path feels like a struggle and your dream seems like light years away, it is okay to take a pause. As we journey through the ebbs & flows of life, we may find ourselves reaching our dream at the most unexpected time in the most fulfilling way 😁☀️😁☀️😁☀️.
Warm regards,

Dear Friends,
I wanted to share this picture which always gives me a lot of positive energy and a sense of security. In the past year, many of us have lost touch with the sense of “peace” due to the new normality that we are all adjusting to. I wish you all a sense of relief and calm with this photo!

Dear Friends,
I am often asked about the meaning of success or being successful. Some think getting rich or becoming CEO of a company is success. Others say, being a good and loved mother, housewife and partner is success. To me, success means reaching a challenging goal or a dream while staying authentically myself and being true to my core values.

Dear Friends,
In my humble opinion, a sincere heartfelt “THANK YOU” is the most powerful phrase in the world. If you are not already using them daily please try today or tomorrow followed by a big smile 🙏😁!
You will be surprised what positive impact those two little words combined with your big smile will make to the people around you and yourself!

Dear Friends,
Transitioning from 2020, some may have believed that 2021 would bring about the change that each of us need to move forward with our lives despite the current global situation. However, I noticed that perhaps, we are putting too much pressure on the year changing to bring about the change when the change itself is within our own power and mindset. Problems of 2020 will remain problems of 2021 if we do not actively work to let go of the issues and worries that we cannot control while identifying things that we can change.
With this in mind, I would like to share with you my way how to solve my problems and clear my mind. I write the problem down and analyze it in 5 steps, all in handwriting and all in a non biased manner - as if the problems are not mine but I am looking at someone else’s problems/worries.
1. I write the problem down
2. What is the real cause/causes of the problem
3. What can I do about it? Write all the possible options
4. Choose the option that resonated with me the most and execute without delay and without second or third thought. Go ahead!
5. In case I cannot do anything to solve this problem I immediately accept it and will let it go; smile and do not bottle my anger or frustration!
Afterwards, I rip and throw the paper away.
For 45 years, I have been using this physical act of writing down my stressors and getting rid of the negativity that stagnate me which has helped me a lot to reduce my stress and keep me smiling whatever happens. I am able to see the action steps to take to get me out of my issues while gaining perspective to let go of the things that I cannot change.
I always have a small piece of paper and a pencil with me in case a sudden problem comes up. I am actually not aware of any wrong decisions taken by using this process. This process might help you too; it’s worth a try😁☀️
Ernst😁👍☀️
