A way of life
Here we go, part two of my magic test of seven. There are so many people that do admirable things, so starting this off I wanted to narrow it down a little further. I selected seven people who I don't only admire but who awaken something in me, in one way or another. Something else they have in common is More +
So here we go, the first part of my magic test of seven. I thought starting with quotes would be easy, but that was not quite right. I could have easily written seven hundred seventy-seven quotes but deciding which seven to highlight was tough. The first three were easy, they've accompanied me for many More +
What defines me? Who inspires me? Who do I want to be? What can I give? The past half year I've just been writing. About whatever crossed my mind. Like as if life was a box of chocolate and I just didn't mind what would come next. The coming week I would like to take myself on a test. I've drawn up my More +
After more than 100 days of posting every single day, I did not post for seven days in a row. A big moment for me. Breaking this habit was a big thing. At least I thought it would be a big thing. In the end it just kind of happened. Or better said: I let it happen. It felt right. It reminded me of the blog More +

Especially given More +
Shawn Achor and many other positive psychology gurus say: Happiness comes before success. I would even argue happiness is success. So where is happiness coming from? Sometimes it is pretty straight forward. The sun is shining, we just received a big compliment or a wonderful hug. But there are also moments More +
Yesterday I published my very first YouTube video. Woooooh. I talked about my dream. My dream of getting people to embrace another. The idea that the world needs more huggers. But I forgot something. Something very important. Anyone who has ever seen Simon Sinek his TED talk or read one of his books knows More +
Yesterday in the car I finished reading "How to change the world" from John-Paul Flintoff. A truly inspirational book! I love the story of Rosa Park. By refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger she started off a huge bus boycott. It all has to start somewhere. If movements have one thing in common More +
The first thought that came to my mind this morning was: "What is worth dying for is also worth living for." The second one was: "What's worth fighting for is also worth hugging for." What am I hugging for? What does the world need? Tolerance, Applaus, Compliments, Food for those who are poor, Work for More +
