Challenges are Opportunities in Disguise

While cycling, I often face strong headwinds. At the beginning, I felt a lot of frustration and exhaustion with the limitations it gave me of slowing me down and tiring me out. However, I came to realize that this was an integral part of my journey to becoming stronger and making progress.

We may not voluntarily put ourselves in situations to challenge us because it takes us out of our comfort zone, however, it is these times when we experience these โ€œstrong headwindsโ€ in our cycling or our life that we experience our biggest growth. Now, every time I experience strong head wind on my cycling day, I put a big smile on my face and thank it for giving me the opportunity to become better. ๐Ÿ˜€โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ™

This attitude also helps me in facing some strong headwinds in my daily life. Try it out; it really works.


Warm regards,

MY BEST PHOTO IN 2021๐Ÿ˜€โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ

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 surprises๐Ÿ˜€โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ™†โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ€

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

Rare Circular Rainbow

Take a Pause, but Don't Put a Full Stop

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 true๐Ÿ˜โ˜€๏ธ 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 true๐Ÿ˜โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜โ˜€๏ธ.

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 ๐Ÿ˜โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜โ˜€๏ธ.


Warm regards,

Ernst๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘โ˜€๏ธ
