I've just listened to an episode of the Easy German podcast. This time it was an interview with a wonderful young woman and a passionate cyclist who traveled by bike from Germany to South Africa. In the interview, she spoke about her journey and how her passion for cycling has arisen. Like many Germans, she started cycling at a pretty young age, and slowly but surely cycling has become not only her passion but also her job. She now travels by bike around the world and documents her travels for people. As she said, her main goal is to show people that cycling is empowerment. You can empower yourself by pushing your limits physically, which eventually helps strengthen you both physically and mentally. And I find this connection between the physical and mental strength fascinating. She also said that the experience of physical endurance and the feeling of overcoming this endurance help her feel free. I find her thoughts really motivating, inspiring, and empowering. I also seek the feeling of the freedom, strength and confidence in my life. And the story of this young woman, who is just my age, made me realize that whatever happens in your life, you can take control of your life through action, knowledge, passion, and positivity.
