You may not always end up where you thought you were going; but you will always end up where you are meant to be.
Who knew that I would end up in this green house and that I´d even have fun doing so?
Here´s what I am usually doing when not blogging on steemit.
Growing the hot stuff
Yes, everything you can see on the picture above is 100% legal :-)
If you believed that you could smoke some of these, I´d have to disappoint you.
You´d better wait until they have grown some pods.
Now it´s 15 years ago that my father started to set up his new business. Everything began more or less by accident. He had always been a huge fan of nature and planting. Then somehow one day he discovered that there was a market gap for hot pepper seeds in the world.
If I´ve learned something from my dad then it´s that enthusiasm and passion are the key driver´s to success; or as Galileo Galilei said:
'Passion is the genesis of genius.'
My dad started basically from zero when he ran into that opportunity. Now, 15 years later, his online shop provides the largest amount of hot pepper seed varieties in the world.
I can´t tell you how proud of him I am!
How he got there? By dedication, patience, consistency and hard work.
Being #daddysgirl
When I degreed in Computer Science in Media 13 years ago I was aiming to become a Marketing Consultant.
I loved the idea of earning so much money that I wouldn´t even know how and where to spend it. I loved the idea of wearing a fancy business dress and defining myself through status symbols.
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
If there was something not meant to be my purpose, then it was becoming a fancy dressed Marketing Consultant :-)
The good thing about life is that WE are the ones who are navigating this ship. If one direction doesn´t lead to complete fulfillment, then another one probably will. It´s about trying.
Now you know what I am usually doing when I am not on steemit.
If daddy saw this blog post he´d supposedly say: "You should rather take care of my plants instead of taking selfies!" Lucky me he is on a business trip right now and won´t have time to check my steemit profile.
But yes, he can totally rely on me. Everything is onder control. The hot babies are growing well, website is running, and client´s are happy.

I hope you´ve found yours as well :)
