Hello,… it’s me

Gratitude is wonderful and there’s nothing wrong with listing things you’re blessed to have in your life. But I think coming up with things you genuinely love about yourself is an even more valuable exercise. Because when do we ever take inventory of all the good things

It feels more empowering. I’m reminding myself of what I have that no one can ever take away from me. They might not all be things I’m responsible for, but they’re mine forever and that’s worth a lot.

I highly recommend you try and come up with a list of your own. It’s hard. But worth every second. That said, here’s a few. I hope it’ll inspire you and make you see things in yourself you didn’t know were there.

I don’t know whether I was born with it, but I refuse to accept anything other than the idea that the day after tomorrow will be better than today. Life happens for me and not to me. It’s a great source of motivation to work hard and do my best, and it’s made my life a lot less hard. I’m an optimist!

This wasn’t always the case, but thanks to my obsession with self-improvement, you can tell me something doesn’t make sense, and if it doesn’t, I’ll agree with you and change my mind. Speaking of which…

We live in a world where success depends on your brand and all brands must stand for something. Therefore, most people stick with their opinions, but it makes no sense. You’re human. All you do is change. We should applaud people who publicly change their mind, not cancel them.

Becoming a minimalist was definitely an acquired taste that was born out of necessity during the pandemic, but it grew into an amazing source of time, energy, and joy. To me, minimalism is about making room to solve true problems in your life. To find the resilience to carry on with little when life takes things from you.

I love new tech. I love learning about it, thinking about it, experiencing it. Even if I’m never going to use it. And if you put me in front of something I’ve never seen before, I’ll figure it out. I think this will be a huge advantage when I’m 60, 70, 80 years old. Loll

And there’ll be a whole lot more to learn from me.

Until then…
