Wisdom Flowers have so far guided me and my family on our own Path to our five own Wonderful Worlds – and there are two more to come!
Wonderful Childhood Dream!
As a child in cold Finland, I dreamed of a warm country where I would drive my own Jeep on a beautiful beach while the sun was shining. This dream gave me vivid video clips in my mind, and I loved them.
Later, my dream became clearer, and I understood that it would be a Golden Eagle Jeep. It stayed in my heart throughout my life. It was my wonderful dream.
Later, I bought my first Jeep in Indonesia. It made me truly happy as my wife and I explored the beautiful countryside, tea plantations, exciting volcano mountains, and bubbling hot springs.
After migrating to Australia, I bought more Jeeps, and one of them was modified to look like the Golden Eagle Jeep from my childhood. It made me immensely happy. I could drive to beautiful beaches, rainforests, and deserts in my childhood’s wonderful Jeep!
Wonderful Island!
When I was a child, my parents took me to a beautiful island near our hometown. It had a summer cabin with an open fireplace, a wood heated stove, and a sauna. I went swimming, warmed up in the sauna, ate grilled sausages, and had lots of fun.
As I grew older, I travelled there by bicycle, train, rowing boat, sailing boat, bus, and car. Nothing could keep me away from that wonderful island.
I also fell in love with a beautiful tourist girl on that island. She was visiting from Zurich, Switzerland, together with her Finnish friend whom I knew from high school.
Later, we got married and are still together, and we have one son.
That marvellous island was my first own Wonderful World!
Move to beautiful Munich, Germany!
My heart urged me to learn German and apply for a language course in Cologne, Germany, while I was studying at college. I had seen an advertisement in the newspaper. My studies were successful, and I received excellent marks. I managed to get accepted onto that course and moved to Cologne.
I also received a job offer from an international sales department in Munich and moved there. I could now easily visit my girlfriend in Switzerland by train. Nothing could keep me away from her. Her apartment became my second own Wonderful World!
Munich was wonderful. I had a modern apartment close to my work, I cycled along the Isar River, went skiing, and had many friends. I was successful at work and could travel within Germany and to Greece and Finland as my career progressed.
I became excited about a new technology and started studying it in the evenings. I loved it. One of our clients wanted to implement this groundbreaking technology in their business. I offered to prepare a proposal, but nobody believed I could do it. I did it anyway – and it became a worldwide success! Munich became my third own Wonderful World!
Move to an exciting new Experience – Bandung, Indonesia!
I applied for overseas service within my German employer, and the doors burst open. I was offered management jobs in Portugal, Finland, and Indonesia. My heart clearly urged me to choose Indonesia. So I did – even though I had no idea where Bandung or Indonesia was. I bought a world map and showed my wife where we were going. She became very happy because her sister, married to a Canadian diplomat, lived in Jakarta. She could meet her and her children often and be happy.
In Bandung, we rented a beautiful house, travelled by Jeep to explore Indonesia, and our son was born there. I was successful at work. Some clients even became my friends, and I managed exciting new projects. One of them became a worldwide success for my employer’s export sales, and I was promoted.
We had friends and were a truly happy family. Bandung became my fourth, and our family’s first own Wonderful World!
Move to my Childhood Dream Country – Brisbane, Australia!
After living over four years in Indonesia, my heart urged me to visit Australia. So we did – and after arriving at Sydney Airport, I knew immediately in my heart that this would become our new home country. Our migration visa was approved within two weeks. It was unbelievable. We were on our way to becoming Aussies.
I received good job offers, and my wife looked after our household and our son’s wellbeing. He became a true blue Aussie.
We also had a new house built according to my beautiful rainbow visions, which kept coming into my heart. I loved them.
I was successful at work and became a certified project director. I coached several young colleagues in project management. It made me happy to watch them succeed. My team was so successful that we constantly received new project orders. I managed the sales effort based on my experience with previous employers and was handsomely rewarded.
Brisbane became my fifth, and my family’s second own Wonderful World!
New short-term Visions and Dreams!
I have several new visions and dreams in my heart. They include a new residence that fulfils all my wife’s dreams – the ones she loves to talk about. I have already made draft designs, and I have been in discussions with my selected builder to finalise the plans. I have also found a block of land for the project. It will become my sixth and my family’s third own Wonderful World!
New long-term Visions and Dreams!
After completing this building project, my wife and I plan to travel the world and visit all continents. We will of course also travel among others to Munich, Helsinki, and Bandung.
Our hearts are full of beautiful dreams for these travels. This planet will become my seventh and our family’s fourth own Wonderful World!
