I worked myself to the point of being “empty” and burning out. Always going full throttle, crashing into walls. I learned quickly, always striving for peak performance (there was no alternative). I climbed the ladder, reached the top quickly, but always at the wrong destination. School, a year abroad, Spanish classes on the side, teaching English on weekends, working, early internal leadership training, studying while working, and always going full throttle, crashing into walls. (I reached my goal internally, too quickly, and then I couldn’t go any further). I questioned everything. I asked many questions, too many questions, too profound questions (which often quickly overwhelmed my superiors). But now I understand that all these questions (for which I sought answers myself—through further education, training, mentoring, and “healing journeys,” for which I have surely invested over a quarter of a million euros in recent years) have allowed me to live a truly enchanting life.
