Interested in the next 30 years of your life?

& 3 Powerful Suggestions with which You Can Start Now?

Are you building your future now? The picture you imagine? What makes you happy, gives you inner peace and let the energy flow? Or are you wondering where your future lies, how to get there.?

You know the struggles in your life, especially regarding to shape your life. Dreaming about a better life, or a hobby that you would prefer and to earn your money with this passion. Or get out of that relationship in which you've been feeling trapped for years. Some look forward to retirement and then start living.?

I used to work in accountancy. For a while it was the perfect place to do my work from a quiet setting. And already coaching other people. I remember that some colleagues fixated their lives around their job. And once they retired, they didn't know what to do. A few died in no time. Wow.?

He enjoyed what he had always enjoyed

The idea of finding a job, working for 40 years, and then celebrating retirement – I know it. My father had a job where he could combine freedom and a permanent employer. Freedom manifested itself in traveling for his work in the Netherlands as well as to Belgium and Germany. He was sometimes on the same job for 3 to 5 days, and that already started to bore him! I know that feeling. He was able to retire relatively early and then enjoyed what he had always enjoyed: the garden growing vegetables, potatoes, and fruit. That's where he found his inner peace too. And enjoying their grandchildren with my mother. Singing “Hop horse, hop” with a grandchild on his lap. I still have that picture in my mind.?

His future idea for life was to get his 5 children to study. And especially where the passion lies. However, like my mother, he has not been able to enjoy their lives as long. They died relatively young.??

What future do I see before me?

It got me thinking at the time. I was 25 and 30 years old respectively when they died. How am I going to live my life? What future do I see before me? I knew exactly where my passion lay, but in the meantime, it felt it was covered with a solid heavy blanket. In other words, heavy life experiences and a ‘forest’ of limiting beliefs. Oh boy. Phew. It would take another 10 years before I finally got so fed up with the developments in my life, until I decided to leave no stone unturned. I wanted to clarify why I didn't get the results I had in mind.?

Do you recognize something? Does it remind you of home, your parents? With a smile or perhaps not? Where do you stand in life now? Are you on your path that leads you to your destination? Or are you in doubt? You may have no idea.?

I had an idea, but it was difficult for me to connect with it for a while. For a long time, I felt trapped in my created outside world. The world as I saw it. How did I learn to make healthy choices here? How could I come to my true self, let alone my higher self??

Connect to your true self

How do you know you're connected to your true self? How do you know that you live from your heart and not from your head? Check out my webinars on this topic.?

You are drilled in current society from the moment you go to school. You learn a lot of things by heart. It also helps you get somewhere. But gradually it becomes more and more difficult to understand what your body is telling you. Sometimes you get sick, seriously ill. Other times you just walk around with stress. Strange actually, that we have accepted that stress is part of our lives. And that we use vacations to de-stress, and then say: oh, I'm going to stay that way for the rest of the year. Yeah yeah. What does the body actually say? What signals can help you to clarify your situation? So that, certain choices lead to more joy in life. And prevent you from getting sick, or experiencing stress (too much stress), or getting a burnout.?

You can't even get off the path anymore.

I see it so often with clients. They get stuck. They think they can find a way out. But they get entangled. Due to thought patterns that lead only to walking the same path every time. You will be familiar with this picture: walking in circles until the path is so deep, that you can no longer look over the edge. You can't even get off the path anymore.?

The heart path, this is what you are looking for. Regularly I write for the so-called Sinus magazine, published by the Congenital Heart Defect Patients Association. Inspiring articles with tips on how to stay connected with yourself, regardless of the news you have to deal with. After all, you are also looking for your path in life, and not what it will look like tomorrow, but for the next 30 years.?

What would be your fulfilment?

What are you doing to fill in the next 30 years? What would be your fulfilment? And in doing so, fulfilling other people as well? Very happy, are you going for it? Or not completely happy, but you know how you're going to take it further and you'll get there. Or you don't know how yet, you wonder if you're really getting there.?

It may be a question that burns deep inside. A fire in you, which occasionally burns vigorously, but which may also startle you. And what if the people around you saw this. But something is lurking in you, waiting for you, pulling you.?

And this is the trigger point. How do you figure out what this is. What do you do with this yourself. Are you active in your quest? Or do days, weeks, months go on and on, and maybe you're thinking about it around Christmas? Or during a holiday??

Objections ..... or are they?

Yes, but André.... I can already hear the countless objections bubbling up. We have to do this, we can't just, and what if. Okay. There are dozens of scenarios to consider why something cannot be done. Immediately reminds me of a Dutch couple, who years ago were sitting in a cafe thinking about why they couldn't actually carry out their plans for a sailing trip around the world. They wrote every objection on a piece of paper until the table was completely full. And she suddenly brushed all the objections off the table and exclaimed: we can think of objections to our death, but that will get us nowhere. We go. And they went. For three years. And released a book with the title: They'll never take that away from you.?

And so is life. There are always objections. Also, through other people, who supposedly like to think along with you to make clear why something is not possible. And if you are firmly convinced of that, it is your truth. As Henry Ford liked to say, if you believe you can't do it, you can't. And if you believe it is possible, then it is possible. The Wright Brothers also showed this by building an airplane.?

Fire inside you

And about you, when there is this fire igniting inside of you. Are you going to let it smolder, or are you going to stir it up? Are you going to investigate and then make a heart choice? Your dreams as you had them as a child, with which you felt deeply attached??

And you often notice in your life that you receive signals to do something about it: a comment from someone, a book title that suddenly demands your attention, a song text on the radio, or suddenly your eyes are pulled to the left and you read “follow your dream” on a billboard. Or what do you prefer to talk about, what does your heart overflow??

If you're in a relationship, ask yourself now how it all started. You had no objections when you plunged into it. Everything seemed possible. Your heart was super happy, you got a lot of energy, and you were always happy. And still, I hope!?

Secret ingredients

And here they are: the secret ingredients that you know you?live your life. That you know what you will be doing for the next 30 years. Because it is interesting to know which phase you are in: confusion, intrigued, but no destination yet. Or an idea of destination, but doubt whether that is real. Or a clear idea of destination, but something keeps blocking you, it's distracting you.?

It's actually super tricky to change the blueprint of your life. The habits that have been ingrained, the limiting beliefs, resulting in your paradigms. How do you get them transformed? Awareness. That's the first big step! Because you simply are not aware of them. You are on automatic pilot. You think you're setting a course, but your actions aren't getting you any closer to your destination.?

3 powerful suggestions

That is why I would like to give you 3 powerful suggestions, which you can start right now, to get closer to your destination, a goal that gives meaning to your life:?

1) Use a moment of the day where you relax, and allow your thoughts to float free. See what pops up regarding your vision of?where you want to be in 30 years. Or discuss this with your partner or a friend.?

2) Reminisce about your childhood: what did you focus on. Being active outdoors, reading a certain book, or constantly looking at a map and dreaming about faraway travels??

3) Ask someone else what they see in you, what qualities. Do your research. Know your true self, align with yourself?

I did all of this. I got to know my destination. Do you??

An example of someone who followed his passion. He gave up his job on the Amsterdam stock exchange and started his own shop selling Italian shoes, about which he has felt passionate for years.?His whole family enjoyed it, no more stock market stress to take home, but passionate energy! And the couple I described earlier and went sailing.?

No longer trapped, but free

Do you imagine that you are no longer trapped in that one job that you have actually hated for years? That you miss a piece of freedom? Do you see yourself starting your own business? Or do you picture yourself in a happy relationship? Perhaps you tumbled from one relationship to another, and are again presented with the same mirror? Or are you looking for your soul mate, but you don't know who you are yet yourself???

What do you need to get started seriously and committedly? What really interests you, so you start to realize your next 30 years? Provided you have been wondering this. Or maybe you know someone you feel would benefit from this. Share it.?

Be courageous

Regarding courage: I needed a big push in the back (burnout) to look at myself. Only then did I have the courage to tackle it. Don't let this get that far in your life!! Take action earlier and transform your life into happiness, energy and inner peace.?Not sure if something belongs to you, or what choice you want to make? Check with yourself whether it would make you feel happier, gain energy, and gain more inner peace. Those are always my key questions for a client, when they don't know what to do. If it is a yes to these three core questions, then you are good.?

Use your body compass to navigate your life with clarity from now on.
