There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

A few words about myself before I leave you to the content I am producing almost on a daily basis here on my website.
43 years into my life, I realized that I had depression. Not a major one but with an assessment test I made, I was able to find out that I was constantly depressed for years.
This had a few side-effects like:
- Never sleeping enough
- Eating not healthy enough
- Gaining too much weight (especially during the first 2 years of COVID)
- Losing interest in any kind of interaction with other humans
- and the list goes on…
I was convinced that I am just that way – but actually, that’s not the case. I do have a natural tendency to be an introvert – but that does not mean that I am not eager to interact with other people.
It just means that I am recharging my batteries when I spend time on my own, go for a walk in the forest, read a good book, or something similar.
Does my past define me as a human?
I can tell you, that your past does not define you as a human. You can change yourself, improve yourself, work on your habits, and work on your mindset.
You might think about your mistakes and failures. For sure, there were situations where you could have done better, and reacted in a different way.
Try to think about it that way: At that point in time, you did not have the same experience and knowledge that you have now.
But will your thoughts affect you?
Definitely, they will. The more you think negatively about yourself, the worse it will get. So stop thinking about yourself in a negative way. I did so for many years but I found my personal way to stop that.
You will find more on that topic in the blog section about mindset.
So now, I release you into the void of my blog. Thank you for being here.
