I am Simona.
I know that IT IS POSSIBLE to have everything you want from life!
And then there was me! I was quite different; I had a great desire to live in some other way, to have different experiences. I also wished to experience greater things, on a much bigger scale than what I knew in my home village. I also wanted to live as I chose, to leave this small world of sameness, and find my way into the wider world, to learn about other countries and people.
My childhood was wonderful, idyllic, with everything protected, regulated, familiar and safe. It was a children’s paradise. I had many playmates, and there were lots of birthday parties to go to, with cake and good food. There were also animals on the farms, fresh air, wild nature on the doorstep to explore; it was a beautiful, carefree time.
With so little distraction, there was greater concentration on what was truly important. We grew up healthy, with no peer pressure at school because of fashion labels or technological status symbols.
I began attending university in Hamburg, where I studied journalism, French literature and art history.
Finally, I was actually living in that big, wide world. I was done with the narrow life that had become too confining for me as a teenager. The big world I had learned about in books, full of adventure and vastness, awaited me. I said goodbye to village life and set out to discover a whole new cosmos. Now I could experience so much more and choose among so many possibilities.
New worlds, new languages, new ideas, new attitudes, new cultures were opened to me. I learned so many new things, discovered films, listened to operas, studied masterpieces in museums, experienced new foods, and met so many new, extraordinary people who had different goals and dreams for their lives. Nothing out here was like it was back in that village world where everyone was the same.
And in all this hustle and bustle and the excitement of university, I was on the go from morning til night, and began to go far--too far--ultimately, beyond my strength. Overzealously I had thrown myself into my studies and tried to do too much in too short a time. I took no holidays; I had stuffed them with internships.
With no rest or down-time, I quickly began to reach my limits. I was exhausted and overtired from too much work and too little sleep; my life was no longer in balance. The idea of breaks or rest was foreign, and relaxation was not in my program. I started to feel tired all the time. And I didn’t know why. I simply thought that I should always have energy, and thought about my active life and what opportunities I wanted to say yes or no to.
All my dreams came true...
.
...and I experienced this while still feeling balanced. Travel, new experiences, nutrition, relaxation, yoga and meditation remained part of my life. My priority was constant personal work on myself, doing seminars and training.
After decades of great jobs in the corporate world, however, I reached a point where I wanted to live in complete harmony with myself and my beliefs. Dealing with power games, battling office politics, seeing people manipulated; this was no longer my world and no longer corresponded to my orientation.
I didn’t want to be there anymore and got out. I wanted to live in a new world, one that reflected my values. I sought to make a world for myself of win-win situations, justice, opportunities for all, openness, tolerance, fairness, attentive and sustainable interaction with people and nature, respect for life and success in harmony with oneself and the world.
This balance to feel myself connected with everything, to live my dream life, to have depth and at the same time conceive great visions for my future, to be successful, and to be able to always seek everything beautiful that the world offers... is a great happiness!
I always dreamed of experiencing the best that life had to offer and to live every day. To live paradise on earth!
To live your highest life is not coincidence or pure luck!
Since my youth I have consciously worked on myself to become the highest and best version of myself, in order to be happy and successful.
I want the same for you! You can have that too!
Today I am a mentor, coach, life consultant, yoga and meditation teacher and...
...I am here for you!
