Over spiritualiteit, met beide voeten op de grond.
Door de jaren heen, heb ik een enorme fascinatie gekregen voor welke wegen wij allemaal bewandelen om maar zoveel mogelijk goedheid, geluk en zingeving te ervaren. Meestal met de intentie iets te willen verbeteren aan onszelf.
Spiritualiteit is dan een veel gebruikt thema. En terecht, iemand die zich verdiept in zijn eigen spiritualiteit is wat mij betreft niet een beter mens, maar wel een meer bewust mens. Meestal ...
Our Happiness Deceptions
Time: 12 minutes.
A metaphor for the modern struggle for meaning.
A long long time ago, we taught ourselves that prosperity and welfare would make us happier. Being normal was not good enough. The new Holy Grail is happiness. However, in our today's modern consumer society it becomes hard to tell what it really means to be happy.

Relationships
Time: 6 minutes.
Deserve (verb): to have earned or to be given something because of the way you have
behaved or the qualities you have. - Cambridge Dictionary
When we fail in life to fulfill our needs, we tend to blame something else. Soon the thought that ‘I deserve better’ is running around in your mind like the coyote looking for Roadrunner.
You ‘deserve’ a better job, life, car, cat, home, kid, etc… now it's everywhere. But most often it’s used in reference to relationships. ...
What You Think Other People Think Of You

Insights
Time: 9 minutes.
The search for constant external validation may be hindering your success.

Is their thinking more valuable than yours? I’ve met people who don’t care at all what others think. And I’ve met people who constantly worry what others think.
In order to be ‘emotionally intelligent’, we need to have some awareness ...
