I&#8217;ve totally arrived at myself \u2013 and I can keep it. Even if life continues with all its facets on the outside. And it does, even here in the Cape. But I don&#8217;t get upset about anything anymore, I&#8217;ve come to rest, more relaxed, more satisfied, much more balanced and fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The changes in my life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This inner peace and balance have had a lasting influence on my life. I have more energy and time for what is important to me personally: getting to know people of all stripes, building my business in a relaxed way, sharing my experiences, continuing my education and giving more and more people the chance to come into their own power. I am actually living my dream. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to realize: IT&#8217;S NO LONGER A DREAM \u2013 IT&#8217;S REAL!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dreams as a signpost for the soul<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fact is: Everyone has dreams \u2013 and everyone dreams of different things. Often for years, only in the head, as an escape from the monotonous everyday life. Today I know that dreams and longings are signposts of the soul. They show you deficits, things that are important to you, but that you deny yourself for some reason. And believe me: This is completely normal!<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Journey \u2013 Ups and Downs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was also a journey with many ups and downs for me. How often have I been &#8220;close&#8221;, but fears, doubts, security thinking and comfort have held me back. The years passed without me really perceiving my longings and taking them seriously. Until I had the courage to actually tackle my &#8220;long forgotten dream&#8221;. And now this longing has found its final destination here at the Cape. Which was never planned, but turned out very coherently. I just feel very comfortable here (sorry&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The decisive moment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I am asked: &#8220;Conny, what was your game changer?&#8221; I can only say: &#8220;It was not, as expected, the opportunity from the outside. It was the deep realization that I had to decide and do it &#8211; otherwise nothing would change. Stand by yourself, let your desires speak to you &#8211; and be ready to jump when the chance arises.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Courage and strategic action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It takes courage, yes. But an individual lifestyle always requires a lot of courage. But it&#8217;s worth it, because it&#8217;s infinitely liberating! You don&#8217;t have to chase blindly. You can \u2013 and should \u2013 approach it very maturely and strategically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An honest conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, I have to tell you one more thing: Living the dream is not always easy. Sometimes even more difficult than the old life. But it&#8217;s more fulfilling!<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t want to miss any of my posts and follow my travel impressions regularly?
