MORE
It´s about an interesting journey.
An interesting journey from an athlete to an ARTlete.
A transformation from a professional sportsman, adventure athlete and content creator to more of an artist really.
The journey of my life.
When the journey becomes the destination.
This is how I feel at the moment.
This is what I naturally became as person over all the years being a professional Mountainbike rider.
I talked about “WHY”.
It´s time to talk about “MORE”.
About the next step on my journey called life.
What is it that I´m doing?
Who is it that I am?
Where is it that I´m going to?
It´s been Freeriding that was my life for more than the past 20 years.
It started with a big passion as a hobby, followed by the same big passion as a job.
This is all I´ve been doing and this is all I was.
It´s been taking me to tons of different places I wouldn´t have seen without it.
Places.
Cultures.
People.
Tons of unforgettable experiences and great memories.
It´s been my life.
And it still is.
But now it´s even MORE.
A journey that I learned a lot from.
Simply I learned to ride a bike.
I learned to ride a bike and about how much freedom it gives me.
Learned about how much freedom even means to me.
I learned to love photography and content creation.
I learned to see the creative part of doing photos and what it takes to get them done.
I learned to understand about how much a picture can tell if people let it.
I learned to use story telling to try to tell the meaning of a picture or a series of pictures.
Learned to understand about how important and valuable it is to even have a meaning.
I learned to have a closer look.
A closer look at things and topics that might even have this deeper meaning behind.
A meaning that could bring a positive change.
A positive change to my life, but also a positive change to the life of others.
A positive change to the world.
I learned to appreciate time.
To appreciate life.
I learned to appreciate the little things that sometimes are way more important than the big ones.
I learned a lot and I´m still learning.
And i´ll never stop to do so.
To learn.
To grow.
It changed me as a person.
It changed my life.
It changed everything.
I wanted MORE in the past.
More action.
More success.
More adventure.
I started to change and to not want MORE anymore during the past few years.
Just be thankful about how it is.
Just appreciate what I have.
Just be happy with who I am and enjoy life.
I want MORE again today.
But more of the less.
Because less is MORE.
True in so many different situations of life.
A Journey that started as a hobby, that had a lot of different stops in a time and that leads me into another one at the moment.
An interesting one for sure, even if I´m still not sure how it will look like.
A journey that I learned a lot from.
A journey that opened my eyes in so many ways.
A journey that taught me to see MORE.
And it´s not over yet.
From an athlete to an ARTlete.
The story of my life that hasn´t been told yet.
The story of my life that is still there to be lived and completed.
Stay tuned for the future as there is a lot that I’m interested to work on and to share with the world as I think it´s important to tell.
Let´s make the world a better place.
Thanks Mountainbiking for giving me the chance to do so.
