I wanted to create and express who I was through painting, design, photography
and dancing. I wanted to work with colours and shapes. Instead, I was encouraged
to pursue a more conventional path and went on studying accounting. It took me a
long time to discover, or rather re-discover, my passion. I didn’t choose this
purposeful path until I was in my early thirties. I spent the last ten years of
my life working in the corporate world before following my true calling. I did
enjoy my job in Finance but I wasn’t 100% fulfilled. I clearly wasn’t making use
of my strengths and talents. This was frustrating and affected my self-esteem.
