Welcome to Walk On!
Hopefully, you'll find my videos and my story interesting and inspiring, and I will give it my best to help someone along the way as well. This is my attempt to change my own life and maybe even someone else's.
As I faced my personal struggles, I realized not everything is about "ME" , it's about "US" and how can we help others.
Here we walk, hike & bike with hope in our hearts. ❤️
About & Why?
Hi beautiful people,Since you are already here, I assume you're trying to learn more about me and the "Walk On" channel and I'm here to tell you all about it!First I will have to start with a couple of words about myself :-)I'm Lennard, just a regular 34 year old guy from Serbia, Europe. Of course Lennard isn't really a Serbian name but there is an interesting story about how I got that nickname, I will tell you all about it in some of my videos. :-)I was so close to becoming a professional football / soccer player back in the day but unfortunately I had to give up on my dream due to a spine injury. Football was everything to me,
and still is a huge part of my life.
After leaving football I just couldn't find myself no matter how hard I tried and how many other talents i tried to discover and use. I was 23 and completely lost...Soon enough, I had to find a job, had to find a way to support myself so I started working in restaurants. Didn't really like it but hey, it's an honest job and I had to make a living.
While waiting tables all I was thinking about was "How do I return to football?", "Should I become a coach?", and so on and so on....Never really went for it due to being a coach takes too much of your time and most of the times you are doing it for free which I just couldn't afford.Being raised in a relatively poor family, I always had that feeling of not having enough money and looking back and remembering my father's struggles I wanted more from life, I wanted to have a financial stability and to be able to provide for my family, so I started my own business right before Covid.
Great timing, right?Of course, 2020 came and another dream went straight to the dumpster. I kept trying to prevent it to fall apart but it took 2 years for everything to go back to normal and so many small businesses just vanished during that time.For the last 3.5 years I have been working in Logistics for an American company specialized in Trucking. My current job helped me leave a restaurant manager / waiter job I did in the past which was starting to be more and more stressful and frustrating every day.
Even though I'm so grateful for the opportunity this job has given me, I don't think working at the office is too good for me. Long shifts, sitting at my desk the whole day has brought +20kg too :-))Now, at 34 I'm happily married with my sweetheart Maria, she understands me without even having to say a word. She supports me, support my ideas no matter how stupid they may be :-)
We've been together for 9 years now and if I didn't meet her, God knows how I would go through all the hard times and deal with my struggles.
..AND NOW THE "WHY"
As I have already mentioned above, the past 6-7 years were so tough for me, mostly financially but psychologically as well.. I'm under a lot of pressure as the years pass, and my life looks nothing like how I thought it's going be.After all unsuccessful attempts to make my life better I came to a conclusion that not everything is about "ME" it's about "US".How can we help others and help ourselves along the way?Starting this channel is my attempt to become a free human being, to live my life under my own terms. But mostly to inspire someone else to try and do the same thing.There is so many people who need our help, children without love and care and one of the main reasons why I started this journey is to try helping those in need through donations and fundraising.My dreams are changing, my goals too. I decided to take any given chance to make someone else's life better as I realized the whole point of us being born and living this life is to help as many people as possible while helping ourselvesI'm so glad I got a chance to share this with you, please consider subscribing, supporting and donating and I will give by best to keep you posted on my future adventures.With hope in my heart,
Your Lennard
