Here I am writing my first blog
It's been 3 years since I started sharing my story and inspiring others to see life from a different perspective despite of what might be regarded as a "negative" circumstance. Along the way I've noticed in myself and others that most of the time we are already aware of how blessed we are, but sometimes we get caught between daily responsibilities and circumstances.
Sometimes we need to be reminded how great life can be.
In those 3 years I have met a lot of people going through different life challenges but everyone could relate to the message I was sharing. “You can do it despite of everything”. After having done that for 3 years I’ve decided it is time to jump and set up a more official and professional identity where I can add value to others with what I consider my gifts.
Because I recognize it is our responsibility to choose the thoughts we want to feed our mind with, otherwise others will feed our mind with whatever they choose, I created a platform where others can find inspiration and motivation anytime so they also can be an overcomer.
I must admit overcoming challenges and difficulties is not easy. It can be an overwhelming challenge but it’s worth it. Being aware of that has helped me develop the ability and habit to manage my thoughts and how I react to what happens around me. In Curacao we regularly use a Dutch expression; ‘wie controleert de controleur?’( who inspects the inspector?) and yet we don’t realize what we allow to manifest in our own mind and could become a challenge by itself. Sometimes it happens to me as well and that’s why I believe that this platform will serve others. Even if it is from reading my blog, seeing inspirational videos, listening to some of my speeches or following my journey as I remind others of how great life can be.
You can expect to get to understand how I can smile so much, a glimpse of my perspective, a confidence boost, more gratitude and appreciation for our present. Because if our happiness is dependent on the things that we want, we will never appreciate and be grateful for what we still have.
THE NEW JOURNEY
I am excited to have started this journey and for the person I will become of it because of the fact that I’ve realized we are not on this world for ourselves but everything we do affects everyone around us. Whether we know it or not. Good or wrong, if we like it or not. Someone will always be touched, influenced or even be victimized by our actions.
Therefore I trust that what I have to share will be an added value to your life and serve as a reminder of how awesome you are and how great life can be.
