Welcome to Connecting Dots!
This newsletter is a window into my journey of exploring creativity, entrepreneurship and personal development.
It was around 50 minutes past midnight. I was laying in bed. Staring at the ceiling that was dimly lit by my desk lamp. I closed my eyes. My thoughts wandered. I thought about what I was doing that whole day, and the days before. What did I want to do? Where did I want to be? Why wasn’t I there yet? Do I even know what I want?

That was the moment when I thought I should start writing, so that I may find the answers. You see, for the longest time I’ve always had this drive in me to put myself out there, to create, something that I can call my own and be proud of.
I started with my personal website, and then later created my YouTube channel.
But to be honest with you, I’m not really sure what I want to do, whether my purpose is this or that. While I don’t have it all figured out, I still aim to try, to move forward.
I want to do something meaningful with my life. And on this constant path of exploration and struggle and improvement, I'd like to take you along for the ride.
By subscribing to my newsletter, you'll gain access to exclusive content and regular updates on my progress towards my goals. Every two weeks or so, I'll deep dive into various topics, reflecting on my own experiences and sharing practical advice that you can apply in your own life.
Additionally, I’ll usually include a recurring list of cool things I wanna share with you, such as:
life update with progress of my current goals
a photo of the week and/or a quote of the week,
something to read, watch or listen to,
and a selection of links to tools or other things that I have found fascinating, useful or entertaining.
Looking forward to you coming aboard!
Stay curious, stay inspired!
Yours truly,
Patrick
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path; and that will make all the difference.
