Become Who You Are Meant To Be

“When I’m ready, I’m going to start my YouTube channel.” 

“When I’m ready, I’m going to start my business.”

“When I’m ready, I’m going to realize my biggest dreams.”

My dear viewers, please know that “when I’m ready” will NEVER show up to the party. EVERYONE wants to be at the top, but few are willing to put in the work required to get there. People want to chill out at the finish line, but are NOT WILLING to run the race! This is not how life works! At least not for the most of us. We’re not lottery winners. We didn’t get the jackpot. We have to work for our success. And believe me, ladies and gentlemen, that I will run as long as I need to, to get to that finish line where I want to be and for this I deleted the “when I’m ready” virus from my mind. This virus is only holding you back! In my life I waited too long with many things, because I believed I wasn’t ready. Wasted time which I am not able to get back. Well let me tell you this: never do tomorrow what you can do today, because procrastination is the thief of time. The “perfect moment” does NOT exist. 


Get rid of the virus

I want to ask you something: what is the reason you are not starting to pursue your dreams today? Why are you unable to start right now? It’s because that virus, telling you’re not ready. Once you installed an antivirus in your mind to get rid of that “when I’m ready-virus”, you’ll start noticing that incredible things start happening. This will open doors which will give you entrance to the path where you will be able to start becoming who you are meant to be. To be able to do what you love to do, every single day and even make a living from it. If you’re doing what you love, you will smash your goals. You won’t be focussed on how hard things are, because you’ll be focussed on joy. 


The ugly truth

I love inspiring others, that’s why working hours and hours every single day on my YouTube channel is not hard for me. I enjoy the creative process. Having this mindset, I know I will become who I am meant to be, and so can you! And NO, it won’t be easy! Everyone would be doing it if it was easy! That’s why so many YouTubers are quitting. It takes them too long to get the subscribers they desire. It takes them much energy to work on it every single day but when you want to achieve something in this life, this is the UGLY TRUTH! Not only with YouTube, but with everything you want to achieve. Sacrifices must be made, but it’s up to you to decide if those sacrifices are worth it. One thing I can tell you, and that is that if you won’t make sacrifices, then everything you love and care about WILL be the sacrifice. You simply won’t make it. 


Remove distractions

Start removing distractions from your life. The moment I quit social media, just a few weeks ago, has changed my life already. Facebook and Instagram can be massive distractions. Without being aware of it, hours can pass by and not only that! Instagram can also be like a wolf in sheep clothes. You easily start comparing yourself to the “big players” - massive amount of followers and their life seems to be perfect. Don’t let that sheep fool you, ladies and gentlemen. I think there is no platform which is more fake, than Instagram. People buy followers and likes, making them looking way more successful than they really are. Watching them does not contribute to success in any way, shape or form in your own life. You probably know the saying “fake it till you make it”, but that’s not how it works regarding becoming who you are meant to be! Ask yourself the question on how do you spend your time and take some time to analyze that. You’ll be surprised of how much “waste” you’ll find. One hour scrolling on social media is one hour wasted. That hour you could spend on writing a business plan for that business you wanted to start when you’re ready. Oh no! We deleted that virus, so no need to wait ;-) That hour, spend wisely, would bring you one hour closer to achieving your goal, realizing your dream and becoming who you are meant to be. 


Do it for yourself!

Learn how to focus. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Bruce Lee once said “The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” - and that’s so true! Let me tell you the secret to that laser-like focus: it comes when you start realizing that you’re doing this for yourself! Not for ANYONE else. You don’t need to get anyone’s approval. Give yourself a shoulder tap and say “I did WELL here!”. You are amazing and you need to realize that. You can do this. Life’s too short, ladies and gentlemen. If you don’t start working on your dreams right now, someone else will hire you to work on theirs, or probably they already did. That’s OK for now, but is this the life you want to lead until death do us part? Didn’t think so. Be in the driver’s seat. Take a stand. Speak up and say “NO I don’t want to do this” and start saying “YES” to the things you DO want to do. Don’t be the chess piece, but be the chess player. The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The LEADER adjusts the sails. Be the leader of your own life. That’s how you become who you are meant to be. Watch this video if you feel the “when I’m ready” virus popping up again, and start going for it. Thank you so much for watching. Remember, this channel is all about being better than yesterday, so it’s time to put in that work. You deserve nothing less, but the very best.

Da Vinci's Daily Routine: What Can We Learn?

Leonardo da Vinci had a bizarre routine, but what can we learn from it? For the ones who don't know who Leonardo da Vinci is, he was a painter with master pieces like the Mona Lisa, he was an architect, inventor, a student of all kinds of scientific things and born on April 15 in the year 1452.  Every day he painted, created, invented, built and designed. There's so much to tell about this man, but today I want to zoom in on his daily routine. Sleep Routine So let's start with his sleep routine which was quite bizarre. It's said that he used a polyphasic sleep routine, which means he took short naps throughout the day instead of sleeping all night. Leonardo decided that he spent too much time on sleep and invented his own sleeping routine. Most of us are monophasic sleepers, which means sleeping several hours at a time. In Da Vinci's routine, he slept for 15 to 20 minutes every 4 hours of the day. This is quite extreme, because it comes down to a total of 2 hours ev...

Mistakes I made regarding my YouTube channel and what I've learned

As some of you know, I'm also a YouTuber . I've been a YouTuber for quite a while already. However, I still haven't reached any of my personal goals regarding my YouTube growth. I have uploaded over a 150 videos (which seems much but isn't actually), and still at this point I don't even have 1000 subscribers. I know the exact reason for that, and I'm not blaming the algorithm.  Lessons learned  Too much different content - stick to one niche On my channel you find a lot of different content. That's actually problem number one. YouTube likes it if you have a niche. I've been uploading tutorials, workout videos, vlogs, music videos and self-improvement videos. As you can see, that's way too much variety. Analyzing my own content helped me realize that I have to stick to one specific niche. I really love self-improvement, so I have to dedicate my YouTube channel to that niche. If I feel like creating some other type of content, it's probably bette...

Sometimes it seems inevitable - those awkward quiet moments during a conversation. Suddenly there's silence, and neither of you knows what to say or get the conversation started or going properly. Of course, this can happen to even the best of people, but it's inconvenient when you're for example trying to sell something, when you are in love and trying to build a relationship with a certain person, or when you simply want to start a new friendship. Fortunately, this can be fixed! You just need to know how. That's why I decided to create this video, because there are a few techniques you can use which will make sure you WILL HAVE those interesting conversations you always wanted to have! So, what to do? Which techniques do I mean?  Ask questions The first one might sound obvious, but I do want to mention it: ASK QUESTIONS. Asking questions is a great way to start and sustain a conversation, and also to revive a conversation when things start to slow down. Just simple qu...
