Passion > Success
Hey guys I’m Gürdal from Germany and well this is my story…
6 Years ago, I was at the first turning point in my life. Until then I was a gambling addict, Smoking weed with no ambitions and goals in life. Then I went to Bali on a self discovery trip and I set myself a goal. The goal to become rich and successful so I can travel all the time…
The past 4 years I was the owner of two companies. (A local grocery delivery store and an online shop). I sacrificed all my time for these businesses and in my free time I was always trying hard to be as much productive as possible. No time for friends, family and myself…
Then about two years ago, I dealt a lot with the topic of finding your passion. I’ve read some Paulo Coelho and John Strelecky and actually some magic happened and I had an Idea, something I truely wanted to create from the bottom of my heart. Not for the success or the money, just for the joy. I found my passion. But the problem was, I was still stuck in this entrepreneur lifestyle, that I couldn’t break out. So I ignored “my passion” and I got sick.
Time by time I felt extremely dizzy and exhausted, I started throwing up randomly, I’ve dealt with fever but the doctors couldn’t find anything. Until I came to the conclusion that this thing I had could be a type of burnout. So I closed my companies 3 months ago and I started to heal again.
People might think that I failed. But that’s not how I see it. I actually think that the universe did me a favor. It give me this “sickness”, so that I would have no other choice to start all over again and now that I can now shape my life in such a way that I can now enjoy the journey more than achieving my goal. That I can follow my passion and built what I wanted to build the past two years and even be able to combine it with traveling.
I will go to Thailand, Laos and Vietnam soon and next year I will visit some South American countries and I’m super excited :D
Thanks for your time guys!
