What do you fill your life with?
Dreaming and making dreams come true. What an awesome life.
On vaccines
When vaccines were invented over 100 years ago, there were no phase 1, 2 or 3 trials. There was just a man with an idea and people desperate enough to volunteer to put crap into their body with a needle. We commonly died of pox, polio and mumps. When WO1 …
As if it was always there
I had the chance to hang up a mirror closet above the toilet in the bathroom recently. Now, when I visit the toilet and look at myself, it’s if as this thing was always there already. Some new things immediately feel like they were always there. A warm feeling like …
Balancing the slippery slope
We don’t wake up 40 pounds heavier than yesterday. It requires putting too much stuff in your mouth for lots and lots of days. It didn’t happen by accident, nor did it happen overnight. We don’t wake up being an Olympic medalist. It requires falling in love with training. Hours …

Deadlines and creativity
Our best work is the work that makes it into the world. Often, we tell ourselves that creativity is a process which can’t be managed. Ideas just happen, we don’t get too choose when and where. But we do. Deadlines provide us with clear boundaries. If the ship will either …
Reminding yourself
Arriving where you want to be, requires a clear vision of where you want to go. From there, it’s only a matter of one: keeping the destination in sight, whilst two: moving towards it. It’s easy to forget either one or two. So, if you remind yourself of both every …
Hidden
There’s such an incredible creativity in all of us. Unfortunately, most creativity remains hidden. Simply, because we don’t get in trouble often. If we get ourselves in trouble on purpose a little more often, we can let the creativity get out and do what it’s for. It’s how our ancestors, …
