Some days I feel like I totally get it what I'm supposed to do in life, whereas other days I'm lost, feel stuck and really don't know where to begin...
Recently I met some people on the island who really inspired me to just be me, whenever I want to and whenever I don't want to. Believing in yourself actually becomes so much easier when you just don't care anymore what other people think of you.
No matter what you say or do, they will support you, acknowledge you and just spend time with you for who you are without expectations.
Today I'm really excited to share some of my recent ideas that I've been working on with my husband for quite some time now...
Besides the fact that we really wanted to move back to Ibiza as a family and find a school that fits for our daughter, we had 1 other dream together: opening a sort of special center where people can meet, connect and just be themselves. Kind of like an extension of our own living room at home. A place where you can invite people to just have a chat, share stories and enjoy some quality time as a family. For us this has been so much of a dream, that we didn't really do anything about it, until we started to become still.
We decided to just let go of the expectations we created in the past and just first pause to feel what we really want to do in life. This has taken some time obviously, but as always I was saying to my husband: TIME IS NO ISSUE! You only get to experience this life once, so I want to make sure that I fully enjoy it to the max and make as many memories as possible with my loved ones. If this includes the risk of doing something that I've never done before, which definitely scares me, that's the way to go!
The risk of not knowing where this new adventure will take us, is something that has been scaring me away for a very long time... Like most people, I start to have doubts when I get a very strong gut feeling about something and start to question why I'm feeling this, what it's supposed to mean and I wonder what can come out of it. And that's exactly where I've learnt to make the difference in my life: I feel the excitement, sometimes scared to really take the next step, but I do it anyway!
This change in my behavior has been so rewarding for me the last few years, that I've come to really trust my own judgement a lot more than I did before. I was always somehow looking for approval from others, looking at examples around me and never quite strong and decisive enough to really make the decision to get things done.
Now that I've gained some experience in that and start to understand that this uncomfortable state is necessary to grow, I do feel more confident in trusting my own judgement and really go with it.
Yesterday I felt really strongly about this idea that my husband and I have had for such a long time to open our own center, that I believe it's time to do this. Now that we've settled into our new routine on the island, we're ready for the next chapter.
Some people feel the need to reach out to me in person, whereas others prefer to do this online, which is why I wanted to created different spaces for that. I'm always so excited to meet up with new people and learn from their life stories, which is one of the reasons I'm enjoying this new chapter so much. Thank you for following me and taking the time to read my stories, it means a lot to me!
