Success isn’t about how your life looks to others.

It’s about how it feels to you.
When I am not transparent I enter into a total conflict with myself.
Every step that I take feels uncertain and insecure when I act out of character.

But here is the pearl of wisdom, if you don’t you will become lost like a paper bag in the wind.
Every part of you becomes disconnected, if you do not live your truth.

There is a revival of interest in the architectural world for traditional products and UNESCO is protecting some ancient crafts so that they don’t disappear.
It will be interesting for me to research when, how and by whom was the first kitchen sink made.
Everything that is created from an idea is art.
I will remain transparent with everyone and share real stories when I write.
The line paper bag in the wind came out at my first ever coaching session with a young man that practically grew up in my home with my son. Today he is a highly accomplished human being with a degree in archaeology, copy writing and specialises in body and mind wellness through martial arts fusion training in Switzerland.
We both agreed that we wouldn’t waste our lives by walking on Earth aimlessly.
I hope that you will never be like a paper bag in the wind.
Talk soon …
