I am leaving Lemmer and the Netherlands

Many cheers ...
But without fooling I leave for the sunny Gran Canaria to find energy and peace. Here in the Netherlands we have everything and what I really miss is the real freedom, but also the sun that charges me in the winter.

I see people just falling under pressure and stress and that gives me a lot of worries. I do not want that anymore. In this blog I will explain how the fork is in the stalk and tell me my thinking about life looks like. And if you can not find it, that's fine too, because happiness is in yourself and the choices you make.

This is nothing new
You tell it more often and when are you really going? Chances are that you rightly think so if you follow my blogs or read regularly. And you're right, because I've been calling it for ages, but without a clear date or something that looks like it. So it's not news if you look at it like that, but now some things have changed in my head. A good example of this is if I am unhappy, I can not make someone else happy. And I'm not saying that I'm unhappy, on the contrary, even. Only my motives to stay in the Netherlands are minimized and more concrete. And maybe choose a little more for what I want and not let it depend on what someone else wants or wants.

Excited too soon
It is not that I leave within a week. In fact, I have a few anchors that I still want to remove or have to be from my life before I leave. It sounds a bit heavy, but it means well. To clean up my mess that is still in my head about what I do not want to take as a ballast. I have placed my ideal image next to me and still have some things that I want to have arranged. So I have not left ...

Arrange house
You can not stand at the top of the stairs if you have not walked all the steps. You understand that arranging a house is one of the things that you should arrange well. And so make my Spanish better together with the rules there. I am going to live in the interior and not in a seaside resort at first. Of course this has a reason, because I want to create peace in my head and therefore want to have as few stimuli as possible. Therefore, more inland.

Speaking about stimuli
You will find stimuli all over the world and after a bit of research it seems that we are in the top 3 here (I did not expect myself). And there is another incentive to go, because we now pay 85% of our gross income on taxes and excise in a month. I am not going to say that we will spend much less elsewhere, but it is a stimulus that I see that almost no one has apparently realized here in the Netherlands. And the Dutch are often complainers. They can do something about it abroad, but here on the internet we really complain most of all. And sometimes I join in and often irritate myself. So also news websites I avoid and actually all the news, but you can not quite get away with it. I find positive and nice news against it too much. And of course I find it terrible when bad things happen, but there is no balance anymore, because we do not tell anyone about the beautiful things. This is such a selection of what stimulates me and I want to let it go.

Want to be myself
I notice in my environment that they still want to exercise influence on me. And I do not want that and in some way a seed is planned that I do not want to have. I have years ago as someone who could do and did and said things that I did not want, if you have suffered from it, sorry! I want to be able and free to be myself at all times. With all my good and bad sides. If you can not deal with that, let me go, because deep down I know that I am a good and kind person. And if that needs to be tinkered, then that's me. And this is an important point, because where I want to live I am embraced for who I am and what I do. Here is my way of life sensitive and there are people who have quite a (stupid) opinion about it, because most people do not even know what I do. So for myself, I do not find myself so weird.

I want to live REALLY
What I will be honest about is that I still can not decide whether or not I want to go without the Internet. On the one hand I want to be without, but on the other hand it is a part of my life. Without it would give a lot of rest and the chance to write a book for example. And then of course also keep in touch with the stragglers where you then again need internet or phone. This is honestly my only dilemma and determination for the choice of where I am going to live. In the morning I can take a breakfast in the sun and gain vitamin D without having to do everything I can see. Nothing has to be done, but everything is allowed to be delicious, that seems to me to be wonderful. And honestly, I do that big and partly if I can. I want to be able to end happily on my deathbed. To die with a smile on my face because I did what I wanted to do. And this step is one step closer and gives me confidence in my future, because I want to have that in my own hands.

I also make mistakes, fortunately!

Sometimes you can hit yourself in front of your head and ask how you could do it again. Only from desire you can make mistakes is no more than normal and one big school.


Knowledge and desire help me to make mistakes every now and then. No mistakes means that you are not moving forward. And that is where I want to be open and dare to expose myself when it comes to acknowledging mistakes and being able and willing to be yourself. (Here was a sentence that I myself did not even understand and therefore removed, talk about making mistakes). Perhaps being yourself is something you can learn and develop.


Mistakes that really hurt
In the past, I made a mistake by assuming that everyone thought as I think and when you are on a dead end is helped to move on or when you do something wrong to get out in a normal way. . I have been deeply mistaken about not everyone thinking that way. I just make mistakes and I want to fix them left or right, because that's my nature. 1 such a mistake has kept me in check for more than a year and I still found and felt that it was not my fault, but a well-intentioned action. And then there was a year with it, because it ended up with the judge. And that for something that was well-intentioned. In this I had made a mistake, because that has to do with selecting people you want in your area. And that hurt the most and I spent a year wondering how I can judge it better and now it's my first impression to feel good. With a touch of common sense ;-)


Deals with errors
I made costly mistakes and that taught me that money is not important, but very easy. Mistakes that I make I also count myself alone and do not try to shift it to another person. You often see that in the business world and I hate it a bit. If you are responsible for it, you take responsibility and acknowledge that it is so and continue, but learn from it. Deal with your mistakes and keep going. Unfortunately, there is still a big taboo on it.


Mistakes is a learning experience
I often see that I still have a lot to learn from myself. And that's nice, because we never get lost. Errors help us and we continue. Because of the infinite list of mistakes that I made, I know how something should not be done. I tell you about that by telling my own story. My life experiences in combination with everything I did business-like. By telling it I want to convey a message. It is not bad that you make mistakes and live your life, because some people die without really having lived. We live in a time where everything needs to be done quickly and burnout among illness number 1. And I think that's different. And I would like to tell you a lot more. I am not a comedian or a comedian, but a storyteller about my own life. Full of exciting stories that are all really happening, but with a little romance and lighting up stupid and beautiful things.



Making mistakes
Do not judge someone else, but go and do what you want to spend your time on and make those mistakes that you have to make to get where you want to go. Focus on that and go for it.
