“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
- Paulo Coelho
Hey friend,
Yesterday was my birthday. 🌞
A quiet, golden day filled with love, sunlight… and deep exhale.
Because this month, life gave me a new home.
And not just a place — a sacred space.
My girlfriend and I moved into our first apartment together in Utrecht.
It’s light.
It’s peaceful.
It’s 94 square meters of dreams taking shape.
We have sunsets every evening from our west-facing balcony.
We can walk to the city center, bike anywhere, and paddleboard through the canals.
It’s everything I imagined — and more.
And yet…
A Season of New Beginnings
Moving wasn’t easy. Twice we packed, lifted, painted, organized, and built.
I spent days on contracts, providers, closets, and figuring out what “adulting” actually means.
I was on holiday — but also building a new life from scratch.
Somewhere along the way…
My sacred routines disappeared.
The gym, the journaling, the smoothies, the studying — gone in the chaos of change.
And now, with tennis season starting again and my course El Dorado – The Journey to Your Golden Life still in the making…
I feel both the pressure and the potential.
Just 1% Each Day
If this month taught me anything, it’s this:
You don’t need to do it all. You just need to move 1%.
One drawer organized. One dream revisited. One healthy meal.
That’s how new lives are built — not all at once, but one breath at a time.
And if you feel like you’ve lost your rhythm too…
That’s okay.
Because your greatness isn’t gone — it’s just waiting to be rediscovered.
You haven’t failed. You’ve simply been in transition.
Make Space for What You Desire
The truth is:
No one will create space for your dreams — except you.
If you feel the fire of desire in your heart…
Then protect it. Nurture it. Make time for it.
Because your dreams are seeds.
And seeds don’t grow in clutter.
They grow in stillness, in soil that’s been cleared with love.
This month, I’ve felt the universe whispering:
“I love you. I’ve got your back.”
And I believe it’s saying that to you, too.
