Principles.

Recipes to convert daily moments into a future you love. They are your gems from past experiences.

When asked on their deathbeds about their #1 regret, a vast majority of the dying said the same: "I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me".

So how to ensure that you live a life true to yourself? That's frankly not an easy question to answer. But there are a few things that surely will help you figure it out:

  1. Get to know yourself and your goals. I like journaling, me-time and experiments.
  2. Observe your life, identify. Don't tolerate problems that come up over and over again.
  3. Create space to think: what are your truths and visions per each category (see below)?

Why do all this? To create awareness and knowledge that enables you to lead a life by your standards, your principles. Principles are ways of successfully dealing with reality to get what you want out of life.

So - keep in mind - these are my principles. They origin from what I believe is true.

Good to know:

  • Please don't adopt any of my principles blindly.
  • My principles are distilled from what I accept as true.
  • I hope to inspire to live a self-defined, balanced life.

A Tale of Authenticity and Integrity

Welcome to My Principles.

The Mind - On Thinking, Thoughts.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become. - Buddha

Inner Life
Character - Controls your Fate.

Character - Controls your Fate.

What makes us humans human when compared to an artificial intelligence... it's the (emotional) baggage we carry with us. Our baggage makes every day unique. Yet, we have the power over how we show up. "A man's character is his faith", said Heraclitus. And Character shows, especially in difficult times.

Inner Life
Growth - The Delta we Seek.

Humans worship one direction, and it's up. But growth is more than getting better. It's about...

Love - The Best Life Offers.

This energy steers just about every living soul on our planet, we all want to feel love and be loved. Principles are straight forward.

External Life
Work - That feels like play.

Work - That feels like play.

You know what? Had you preserved your inner kid, you'd likely have a better and more successful life today. In Naval's words; "pick work that feels like play"

External Life
Environment - Be Valued, Feel Understood.

Environment - Be Valued, Feel Understood.

It is often more difficult to come back home than it is to go away. As a well seasoned traveler myself, this chinese proverb runs deep. But - Why?
