About the author

My journey began with a choice.
The choice that this life has much more to offer.
The choice that life lies in his my hands.
The choice that I can and will change.

I grew up in a small village in West Germany. My loving family took care of me and gave me the best conditions for a bright future. But soon I noticed that something was missing.
In a small village like the one I grew up, it is easy to get to know people, because you grow up in a small intimate community so there was never the urge to approach strangers or to get out of my comfort zone in any other way.

Then I moved to a different city to study in college, and everything changed.
I didn’t know how to talk to strangers or
how to be comfortable in such a strange environment.
Everything felt weird and uncomfortable. I was so overwhelmed and anxious that I just decided to stay on my own.
After a long time of sleepless nights, worries and feeling depressed, I made the choice to change my life.

I stepped out of my comfort zone. I made it a habit to search for the uncomfortable, to find it and then to jump right into it.
It became one of my daily habits to give people high fives on the street, to approach strangers everywhere I go, to walk through life with a big smile on my face, and to enjoy my life, instead of staying in my head and wasting the precious time I got on this planet.

Today, I am an entrepreneur and author.
I have a beautiful woman by my side, I am travelling the world, and I am enjoying every moment I have.
Every minute you are angry you lose 60 seconds of happiness.

It became my ultimate goal in life to share what I experienced.
I want to show people that there is much more in life than average.
I want to show everyone that happiness and success is just a choice you have to make.
I want to show you how to make this choice so that everyone is able to enjoy the unique life they were given.

There lies Greatness within all of us, and everybody can build the life of his/her dreams that he/she is supposed to live.
Just make the choice.
