I haven’t really had huge obstacles during my career. It was pretty straight forward road.
The only challenge has been my mind. I believe procrastination is a part of human nature. Everyone has it, but only few get over it. I for one could not come over it for a long time. But eventually I found a solution to it. Keep the things you are supposed to do in front of you or in the place where you frequently look, could be a table or your bed, that way it keeps reminding you, you need to get done with it Ein fur alle mal (which means once and for all). Which brings me to my next challenge, wandering mind. This mind has never been at peace! Some call it day dreaming others call it overthinking, either way it has been a challenge to me for my whole life. To overcome this I decided to take up a new language, German. This way my mind keeps talking to me in German (that it does not know fluently) or thinking about what I’ve learnt so far, trying to create sentences and checking them if I did well. That way it is constantly learning or at least trying to learn rather than creating scenarios that are never going to happen.
I believe all that we do to achieve our ambitions needs a strong mind and all that we do in our life is for peace of mind. A mind that can take up challenges, find solutions, overcome criticism and at the end of the day be at peace with itself.
