JJV's Offs

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "JJV’s Offs"!

"The past is an echo, the future an illusion; only the present is a portal to the eternity you seek."

The events we have experienced will never return, but remain anchored within us and shape us on our life path. We never really know what life has to offer, so we can only hope to live a life that suits us. But to create this future for ourselves, we must be active in the present. It's the only time we can concretely take action in our lives...

The past is no more, the future has not yet arrived, but the present is, as its name suggests, a gift of everyday life. Every day is a chance to seize to take advantage of what life offers us, an infinite number of opportunities. But if we're stuck in the past or too focused on the future, we can forget to see what's ahead.

What started as a simple joke during a presentation in Spain during a presentation in Italy ultimately became a real opportunity. What was supposed to be a trial period within certain organizations became a series of presentations automatically renewed every year.

I don't regret taking my path step by step, measuring which opportunities were interesting for my small business and which weren't because I wasn't taken seriously or my company was denigrated.

I have principles and a work ethic that have stayed with me since I started the store and that I maintain even now. Simply because they allow me to provide efficient and professional service and benefits to the organizations I work with, and of course, to my customers in the store and during presentations. I've refused to work with organizations that didn't respect their members or my store because it simply didn't align with my values ​​and my way of working. I've been offered attractive contracts for certain aspects that I refused for these same reasons.

I'm not ready to negotiate my values ​​for anything if it doesn't align with them. For example, returning harassment when it's inflicted on me. But I'm a firm believer in putting words into words and discussing what's wrong. You don't solve a problem by returning the same negative energy, but often you have to talk about it so the problem can stop or move on.

As you can see, it's not our past and/or suffering that defines who we will become in the future. Without our present and what we do with it, our future is nothing more than an abstract draft. And our future is never certain, because it changes depending on what we do now. So it's up to us to write our own story! It's up to me to write the store's story. ;)

Good day and good game ;)
