Things were going well, I was in the flow&#8230; until I noticed: Some guests can\u2019t tolerate quite a lot \u2013 except gluten, lactose, sugar, sun, and bad moods. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"false\" data-start=\"359\" data-end=\"622\"><em>I had THE idea how to solve the kitchen chaos with special requests. I presented it in the team meeting. And? Total silence. Three attempts, three discussions later: I was frustrated, went back \u2013 and shortly after, was folding fabrics again.    <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"false\" data-start=\"624\" data-end=\"771\"><em>Then came Human Design.

But whenever my willpower, stubbornness, and ego tried to push things through, it cost me huge amounts of energy reserves, frustration \u2013 and in the end, the realization that this path wasn\u2019t meant for me.  <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"false\" data-start=\"650\" data-end=\"1009\"><em>It became especially painful when I thought about a past relationship. A man from Hamburg, met through friends, triggered all my conquest instincts. I fought \u2013 charming, passionate, but driven by ego. It was no longer about closeness, but about pride.
