4 Tips To Realize Your Grand Dream
February 16, 2012“A thousand miles journey starts with a single step” - Lao Tzu We all have them, grand dreams that ignite our passion and inspire others. For example, I know many people who would love to change the educational system because they see how our schools are no longer “educating” our children, but are only preparing them to become “productive assets.” Others would love to elevate the (spiritual) consciousness of organizations, not only to enhance the creative cooperation between employees, but also to improve corporate social responsibility. What is your grand dream? The ...

Entering The Spiritual Doorway More Easily
February 3, 2012Why is it so difficult to integrate spiritual teachings in your daily life? I was reminded of this question when the other day I spoke with a friend who had participated in one of my past programs, i.e. “Self Love, The Key to Harmonious Relationships” in which a spiritual understanding of relationships is provided together with all kinds of practical tools to solve relationships issues. She told me about the problems she was currently experiencing with her ex husband and how helpless she felt with her inability to solve the situation. It seemed as if she had forgotten most of the pr...

When Are You Successful In Life?
January 24, 2012In our society we have embraced a very particular and narrow definition of success. Usually, success is being associated with, and measured by, wealth, achievement and status. Another important dynamic with success, at least that is how I experience it, is that your wealth and achievement has to grow all the time. Even if you are a billionaire but you lose let’s say 25% of your fortune, people will no longer associate you with success. So, what about you? Do you consider yourself successful in life? If not, why not? Sometimes it is good that we are provided with a different view ...

Born This Way
January 21, 2012Why on earth would I feature a Lady Gaga song here while she never even made it to my personal iTunes playlist? Well, that was until last night, after I watched a documentary on Dutch TV in which the famous fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier interviewed Lady Gaga (born 1986). Of course, I had heard about Lady Gaga before, but for some reason she had not made a lasting impression on me, until this interview in which I found her very authentic, fascinating and inspiring, and I could clearly feel her passion for life. During the interview she told how as an artist she was basicall...

How To Dramatically Improve Your Relationships
January 20, 2012When we are confronted with something we don’t like in a relationship, e.g. criticism, lack of appreciation or some type of abuse, our usual reaction is to try changing the other person's behavior. We rarely think of changing something within ourselves. Why would we? The other person is doing something wrong, not us, right? In order to have the other person change their behavior, we use all kinds of “tools,” such as discussion, silence, flatter, humor, fights, seduction (sex), “poor me”, and more often than not, also physical or psychological threats. The result? Power strugg...

Free Your Energy Through Forgiving
January 12, 2012Have you ever considered how much emotional junk you carry around from the past? All the incidents, arguments and fights that you had with people, who at one time or another were important in your life? For some this list is quite long and the incidents still have a major influence on their life as it is limiting the “flow” of their energy. Let me give you a personal example. When I left high school, I had a big row with my father. I wanted to go to university and he didn’t want to pay for it. Although I didn’t understand his decision, because he could easily afford it, this ...
