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,
Ernst๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘โ˜€๏ธ


HAPPY 2022, THE YEAR OF THE TIGER๐Ÿ˜€โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ…

Dear Friends,
I wish you a wonderful New Year with a lot of Prosperity, Happiness and Good Luck ๐Ÿ˜€โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ™†โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚.

2022 will be the year of the Tiger in the Chinese Zodiac. I usually โ€œpredictโ€ the following year based on my view of the animalโ€™s behaviour, in this case the Tiger:
The year of the Tiger is going to be a generally good year but also very hectic and extremely volatile. Each time when the Tiger is out for a hunt it evokes a sense of anxiety in the rest of the animals. As soon as one starts to run away, all others follow in a wild scramble. Ultimately, the Tiger catches the weakest/slowest prey and eats it and peace is immediately restored for a few days until the Tiger is to hunt again! So, beware of the โ€œTigers" around you in your daily life, take a good distance when they are hungry, so you can avoid the โ€œbig stampedeโ€ and will not be eaten๐Ÿ˜€โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ…

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

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,

Fruits of Our Labour ๐Ÿ˜€โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ

Hi friends,

I hope you are all well and could enjoy the Olympic Games on TV.

Here is a picture of the first nice apple from our garden. I am very happy๐Ÿ˜€โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ

I planted the tree 2 years ago. It reminds me of life; it often takes some time and one needs to be patient until some nice fruits can be earned. Some may believe that the last 2 years has stopped our growth and progress. However, just like this apple tree, I believe that growth can be achieved, even at the most difficult times because it is the journey and the patience that allow us to experience our own metamorphosis.

Warm regards and have a nice weekend.

Security & Positivity โœจโœจโœจ

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 โ€œpeaceโ€ due to the new normality that we are all adjusting to. I wish you all a sense of relief and calm with this photo!

What Success Means to Me

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.
