NIELS BELIEVES:
“I strongly believe that everyone has the ability to change, and even faster than you probably can imagine at first. Take a moment and think about how we change on a daily base and discover that you do. Embrace the change and discover what it has to offer as everything has no meaning except for the meaning you choose to give it. How much pleasure can you stand is the concept that is on my mind.”
