Hey, how are you feeling in your shoes?
Photo by taylor hernandez on Unsplash Recently I have engaged with many up and coming people from all continents. One thing I heard mentioned a lot nowadays was “empathy”. What is empathy? I used to imagine that empathy is the ability to understand and share the feeling of another. Recently I found another very useful way…
Where is the “miracles buffet”? I can’t see it!
Photo by Benjamin Ashton on Unsplash A few days ago someone told me: “unless there is a miracle coming soon, we are going to be in trouble…………..” And immediately I felt empathy for him, putting myself in his shoes and started seeing life and the world as a place where miracles are rare and in short supply,…
Setting internal goals that I can’t hide from………
Photo by rawpixel on Unsplash I used to think that setting goals is easy, and achieving them is hard. Generally. I did not categorise the type of goals I set and it seemed to me that being a “normal” or average guy, I should be more than pleased with a really low success rate. Low success rate…
Am the luckiest man on earth ?
Photo by Juan Carlos Pablo on Unsplash I consider I am the luckiest man on earth today, and probably tomorrow too, not only because I have clean water to drink, fresh food to eat and a house to live in, as well as awesome family and friends. But more importantly I have been extremely lucky in the way…
Thank you “worry”, for coming to see me.

I am not being rude to him. I am just saying that this is the question I should have been asking myself.…
Appreciation is a muscle….
Photo by Kate Trysh on Unsplash Most people can’t do push ups well because they haven’t done it since they were 8 years old, and they are simply out of practice. It’s within each of us with arms and legs to not only do push ups, but be really good at it. To be a master of push…
“Do” one thing that scares you everyday.
Photo by Alex Iby on Unsplash Doing something not done or tried before and, making outrageous promises to ship , all feels scary. They are scary. Repeating what I did yesterday, and the day before, and the day before……..is easy and comfortable. And so it was easier to gravitate towards familiar and easy stuff. Until I woke…
Celebrate and offer yourself and others happiness, now!
Photo by Sebastián León Prado on Unsplash If you are reading this blog post with your own eyes, however weak or “imperfect” they are, and you are able to just open your eyes to enter a paradise of forms and colours, and feast on the full beauty of a sunset or another sentient being, a human or a…
You can’t be a perfectionist and be happy at the same time.
Photo by Matthew Murphy on Unsplash Honestly, if I were a perfectionist, I would not have shipped a single blog post, let alone one a day! Because I would need 10 years to make the first blog post “perfect”. I don’t go for perfectionism. I go for WOW. When I go into a forest, I go: Wow!…
