A little more about myself:
Growing up, I've always felt a little different from the rest.
I was a little more curious, a little more ambitious, and a little more daring.
My mind often wandered to places my body couldn't yet reach, dreaming of adventures and leaving my mark on this earth.
I recalled a moment years ago when someone asked about my passion, and I couldn't articulate it.?
After pondering for a while, an unusual answer emerged:?
“Life. I’m passionate about life.”
And so, with that simple declaration, my journey of exploration and discovery began.
It's a journey filled with twists and turns, triumphs and setbacks, but through it all, my passion for life has remained unwavering.?
Now, I invite you to join me on this adventure as we delve into the stories, the people, and the experiences that have shaped my path—and perhaps, inspire you to embark on your own journey of passion and discovery.?
Welcome aboard!
Many of you asked me why did I chose “The Universe is Our Playground” as the title for my newsletter.??
Here’s the reason behind it:?
A playground is more than just a collection of swings and slides, it's a sanctuary for children, where emotions run wild and memories are written into our hearts.?
In this haven of innocence and exploration, we inevitably encounter our fair share of mishaps. We scrape our knees, twist our ankles, and occasionally, we even find ourselves face-first in the dirt.?
But amidst these seemingly "negative experiences," there's an undeniable allure that keeps drawing us back.
Despite the stumbles and falls, there's an inexplicable joy that permeates the air, as if the playground itself is whispering words of encouragement, urging us to get back up and try again.?
It's a place where resilience is born, where challenges are embraced with open arms, and where tears are merely a gateway to the next adventure.
With each visit, the playground becomes a canvas for new adventures, a stage for budding friendships, and a sanctuary for the boundless spirit of youth.?
No matter how hard we may fall, we always find ourselves returning with unwavering passion, ready to embrace the endless possibilities that await us in the playground.?
However, as the years go by, something shifts within us.?
The vibrant hues of childhood enthusiasm fade, replaced by the monotony of routine. We find ourselves navigating through life as mere automatons, existing without purpose, and forgetting what it truly means to live.
But what if we dared to reimagine our world??

What if we saw the vast expanse of the universe as our playground??
As we grow older, our connection to the playground of our youth may weaken, but let’s not forget that there’s a whole universe out there, waiting for us to explore and discover its endless possibilities.
Could we reignite the flames of passion, curiosity, and boundless energy that once fueled our childhood adventures?
As we ponder these questions, it becomes apparent that the key to reigniting our passion lies in our willingness to embrace the unknown. It's about stepping out of our comfort zones, shedding the constraints of adulthood, and allowing ourselves to be guided by the same sense of wonder and curiosity that once defined our childhood adventures.
Perhaps, in the vast expanse of the universe, we'll rediscover parts of ourselves we thought were lost...?
Maybe we'll stumble upon hidden passions, unearth long-forgotten dreams, or forge new connections that reignite our sense of purpose.
This journey isn't just about rediscovering ourselves, it's also about rediscovering the world around us. It's about seeing the ordinary with fresh eyes, finding beauty in the mundane, and embracing the magic that surrounds us every day.
I hereby lay down a challenge for each and every one of you:
I challenge you to reimagine your world.
Yes, you’ve heard that right.?
I challenge you to view life as an adventure waiting to be explored, with each day presenting a new opportunity for discovery and growth.?
Join us, as we embark on this journey of rediscovery, embracing the universe as our playground once more.?
For in the pursuit of exploration, we may just find the key to unlocking a life lived with purpose and contentment.?
Do not fear venturing into the unknown, for the greatest adventures often begin with a single step. So, let's take that step together, hand in hand, and see where this journey takes us.?
After all, the universe is our playground, and the possibilities are endless.
