'And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.' - Paulo Coelho

True story, Paulo! If you really desire something, put all your ressources and efforts and passion into it, then there are few chances to fail.Β 

It's more than that: when you are fully committed, things fall magically into place.

Time to recap and celebrate the passion thing: All or nothing πŸ’™

A Vlogger's Recap - One Month Of Filming

One month ago I did one of the best investments ever in my life.

I bought a GoPro, started to shoot my surfing sessions, learned how to edit the footage, how to produce short clips with music and began to promote the videos on steemit.

Just for the records, this was my very first clip: Underwater Love. Now I start having the blues, haha!

To be honest, a couple of months ago I didn't even know what a 'vlog' is (or how to pronounce that πŸ˜„).

Many times the best things in life meet you accidentally.

I've found so much pleasure in my new activiy that many other things have become less important.Β 

But that's how life works actually: it moves in waves, ups and downs, changing direction from time to time, pushing you forward towards your destin(y)ation.

We are the creators of our own destiny!

There is only one life and one chance.

No matter what you do with your time, where you take pleasure in or with whom: just remember that it's YOUR life and you are the one at the wheel.Β 

As long as you follow your heart, life will bring you on the right path.

Mine has brought me to the Ocean, and here I am.

"Best Of Famara Beach" - My Surfing Highlights Of The Last Month
2:15 min video πŸ“·

It feels good to look back and realize that if I had the chance to live all these moments again, I'd do exactly the same thing.

Next week I'll go on vacation and change my beach for a big city.Β 

Another adventure wants to become part of life. Actually it's an experience I'm dreaming of since more than two decades. Imagine: I had paid the whole trip two times, and both I needed to cancel it for personal reasons.

All good things come in threes, right? So, let's give it a third and last try :-)

Once I'll be back from my vacation, I'll have a huge surprise for you: a music cooperation! Probably it's the first time ever a vlogger and a musician collaborate with each other on steemit...? In one of my next surf videos I'll promote an American singer and songwriter and one of his songs. How exciting!

So stay tuned, steemians.
I'll keep you posted on all of my future adventures :-)

Hugs & kisses πŸ’™

Perfect post as usual! Your blogging skills are amazing

Wow, thank you so much for your lovely words Uwe!!! 😍😍😍 Made my day.
Has your little princess destroyed the house, or are things under control now (and is she sleeping)? πŸ˜‰

Great story of following your heart, and capturing it in your own video production.
You're gaining great skillsets to go along with your steemit blogging. Super, my lovely ;-)

Thanks my friend!!! I truly appreciate that 😊
I guess when you really enjoy doing something then the journey is the reward.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Exactly, and you're doing just that.
I am excited and waiting to see and hear your music/video cooperation too :-)

Hello my girl. How is everything ? ;) I see great ;) Positive energy spread out everywhere. Keep it up :)

Here is something from me to you :)

Have you ever try this ?

Oh great! Kite. Love it. No, I still haven't tried it. However I should: cause my island is very windy, and that would be the ideal alternative for days that are too windy to surf.

Thanks for your support and have a gread Monday!!!
Positivity rules πŸ˜‰

Awesomeness! I love how took on the whole video thing and now you're becoming an accomplished video editor as well as being your surfer self.

And you're exactly right: There's only one life and one chance... so seize the day!

Thank you for your ongoing support @denmarkguy!
You are totally right: let's seize it πŸ˜‰
Happy Mondy!

Looking forward to that Meanwhile enjoy your vacation! :)

Thank youuuu πŸ˜ƒ

I absolutely love watching your surfing videos! I'm so glad you discovered vlogging so the rest of us get to enjoy this :)
Third time is definitely the charm, I just know you're going to have a fantastic time but I'll wish it for you just the same.
The city wouldn't happen to be NY? (If it was then we could meet a whole lot sooner than November as it's only a five hour drive for me!) Lots of wishful thinking going on in my brain, lol!

Hey!!! First of all thanks for your lovely feedback @dreemit 😊
And YES it's going to be NY, hehe. I'll be in Philadelphia and Washington first and then three days in NY (starting from Monday 12th). 5 hour drive sounds eternal, but I'd be happiest it you'd come over of course!!! πŸ˜ƒ

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Oh wow! Actually, I have family (An aunt and uncle, and also a group of cousins) that live on Long Island (where I was born), about forty five minutes from the city. In fact if I could work it out, the best way would be to go and stay with my family and take the train into the city to meet you! @andrarchy lives in NYC and I believe @prufarchy does as well. Perhaps we can have a mini-meetup somewhere? That would be so much fun :)

That would be awesome! πŸ˜‰

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Keep on surfing and filming, friend! :D

@creatr

I will my friend!!! 😊 Hope life is treating you well!!!

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Thorough professional surfing... truly awesome!

Oh thank you for your nice compliment!
I'm still far away from being professional, but I'm definitely a professional "life lover" πŸ˜‰
Thanks for your time and voice

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Have nice vacation. We anxiously await your next Steemit post!

Oh that's sweet. Thank you!!!
I promise being back soon 😊

Following your heart is the only way to go, otherwise life is just a mere shadow of what it could be.

I couldn't agree more @eggmeister πŸ˜‰
Thank you!

You're welcome :)

"...pushing you forward towards your destin(y)ation." -- Love it! :)
And I couldn't agree more... It seems that everything I've done, with every mistake, I've been closer to my destiny.
I guess the best advice is to listen to your heart and yourself...It's never wrong :)

True story, @jovana! We are the sum of our experiences (even the supposedly "bad" ones)...
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughs! πŸ˜‰

Damn, you're good. Thank you for the inspiration! Excellent post. \m/

Thank you, I'm really happy you enjoyed it in such way πŸ˜‰
Wish you a great day!

You too! Thanks again. I am really enjoying your content!

I just love your filming, such lovely each as well and very clear water and such fun as usual.

It was pure fun indeed πŸ˜‰ Glad that the video transmitted it.
Have a great start into the week!

I didn't know those words by Mandela, I knew already similar words in a song by CSN β€” so now I know they were quoting Mandela (though they say soul in stead of β€œmy destiny”). It's one of their worst albums albums I like less, Live It Up (though Haven't we lost enough is in their style and it's a great song IMO).

Nice one, thank you for sharing it here :-)
