Week 47: Being alone!!

 Dear reader,  "Having no one else present"  Being alone is something that happens to a lot of people, whether you are at an old age or you are a young person. This year many people have been or will be alone for most of the year. Because of travel restrictions and lock downs people have not been able to go out and socialize like they were used to. Not with the holidays around us, shorter and darker days, economic and social uncertainty these times can hit hard for people that are being alone.  I try to stay positive and talk about fun and interesting things. But unfortunately for me this is subject I can relate to. With no real long relationships, being an introvert and having no job at the moment is tough. There are moments when you feel lonelier then others and it is a test to see how strong you are to be by yourself. This week I am going to talk about loneliness, how it is affecting us during a pandemic and how you can make it into your success.  Loneliness...

Week 46: Lessons from 2020!!

Dear reader,  "A period of learning or teaching"  With just six more weeks to go in 2020 it is time to start looking back at the year. It is time to ask a few questions. You still have time to do the things you wanted to achieve this year or get a head start on 2021. This has been a year that not one of us had expected. It has been a year where old dreams have died and new dreams of old times came back to us. It has been a year where literally everything in the world has changed for good now. It is time to look back at the lessons that 2020 has taught us.  In the upcoming blogs there will more reflection on this year. So I will start early and keep the change in topics during the weeks that come. This week I am going to look at the lessons that 2020 has taught me. I am going to look at what I have learned from the lessons and how I turned the lessons out into a success. For me my goals, dreams and desires where way different than what my intentions where in the beginning ...

Week 45: Pursuit of Happyness!!

 Dear reader,  "A state of well being and contentment" The real definition of the pursuit of happiness comes from the deceleration of independence. On July 4 1776 the deceleration of independence was adopted by the second continental congress. The second paragraph contains the phrase; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Most people think that it is about going after the things that make you happy, the actual meaning is practicing and the experience of happiness.  In 2007 a movie was made about a business man named Chris Gardner, Will Smith who plays Chris tells his story about losing everything from his wife to his house and working hard to never give up on his dream to be a stockbroker. There are a lot of books that inspire me and so there are a few movies and documentaries. Often subjects that are related to success and a true story. This week I am going to dive in the movie, The Pursuit of Happiness. I am going to look at happiness and success and why these kin...

Week 44: Inspiration!!

Dear reader,  "The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative" Inspiration is what drives us to be at out most creative self, it allows us to reach into our unconscious mind and let us do things we never could imagine. There are many ways to be inspired, you can have dreams of specific goals and desires. Other people that have got or reached a place you want to go or the type of person they have become. Often it is the story and the motivation why someone goes after their goals is what inspires us. No only the most positive moments can inspire us, also when we are at our lowest or deepest we can be inspired to make a change for the better.  During these years in learning who I am, understanding what I am doing and working on who I want to become I have had many people, events and books that have inspired me to where I am now and where I want to go. Some people have inspired me in a little way to make a small change and ot...

Week 43: Election night 2020!!

Dear reader,  "A formal and organized choice by voting of a person for a political office or other position" Every four years there is a election in the United States. It seems that every four years the election becomes more and more important, not only for the United States but also for the rest of the world. As it remains the worlds super power, every country is waiting what the results would be and whom they will be facing the next four years. With China and Russia following in the footsteps to become the worlds super powers these are very interesting times.  A lot has been going on this year, especially in the United States. With the massive world wide pandemic, black lives matter protests and riots in the streets the country has been more divided then ever before. Normally I stay a way from politics, living in the Netherlands the political system is very different then the American. But there is so much on the line this time what can change history and our lives. This w...
