Just got back from an amazing one-month trip to the United States, combining business and a bit of pleasure. Most of my time was spent in Scottsdale, Arizona, the hottest area of the U.S. with a desert climate—110 degrees F (43 degrees C). This trip was crucial as I was at a crossroads, eager to break through to the next level. I explored business opportunities, engaged with partners, and meditated in nature. A highlight was Sedona, known for its spiritual energy. During the full moon, I joined a powerful full-moon drum circle, which helped me gain clarity on what I truly want—and don’t want—in my work and personal life.

I’m letting go of the fight for survival, a mindset ingrained in me since childhood. It’s easier said than done, as I’ve carried this pattern into adulthood, creating conflict even when unnecessary. But it’s time to release the fight, to let go of resistance, and to embrace a more relaxed, flowing approach to life.
As the German expression goes: "Nur tote Fische schwimmen mit dem Strom"
"Only dead fish swim with the current." One should not go along with everything the majority does. This could lead to a boring, soulless, and motionless life.
For a long time, this was my motto, and I will keep my life exciting, passionate, and dynamic while also being more in flow.
As a leadership coach and founder/director of two XR startups, I am constantly working on myself. I made many mistakes, and 2023 was a very difficult year for me. But now, thanks to my amazing friends and business partners, I have gained more clarity and feel in control again.
