Hi Evert-Jan,
thx for commenting. To make 1 thing very clear, you probably know it but anyway, the pity part is poetic freedom. I don’t pity you, at all!
Great sale!

hi Steven

thank you for these nice words, it’s a great feeling to see you are helping to build my story.

Don’t pity me though, at least not for the reasons you mention.
You could pity me for not having followed my passion way earlier in time, but then again, all things have their moments.
You should pity me for having kept things to long for myself. It’s only since I really opened up sharing all about my passion that “things are happening”.

You helped me getting a new double Choqoa Discovery order with this very blog post. A small step. And as of today a first international project is getting started, another step. All thanks to being open.

Let things happen, make things happen. Make people do something, have people make you do something.

And as for passion, what this post is eventually about: only if you really understand what your passion is about, you can give it the flexibility it needs to move forward. Don’t be stubborn.

And now, time for a good bite of some great chocolate!
