Do what you like, not what you know

On the airplane from Madrid to Panama I read an insteresting section from the author Austin Kleon in his book “Steal like an Artist”.

Austin Kleon: book "Steal like an Artist" — Austin Kleon: book “Steal like an Artist”

Most of the people start doing something, in fields where they are already experienced.

Probably you also heared some advices before, like “you have to do what you know to succeed.”

But does that makes you happy and successful in your life?

Austin has the idea instead of doing what you know, focus on doing what you like.

Sounds very easy and clear, what? But most of us don’t do it.

We are trapped in there current life situation and don’t know how to get out of it. And especially how and where to start.

If you belong to those, who want to change something and start to do just the things you like, follow this 3 tips:

Start first with copying your heroes and idols. Not just one. Mix it up. What do they do, how do they do it? Learn and try it again and again.
After a while you will develope your own style. Don’t worry yet, just to be a copy. It will come from alone, if you practice onward and mix it up with more then one of your idols.
What you really want to do, is what you really love. To remember and to keep it in your mind, follow this manifesto and try to read it for the next 4 weeks every single day:

Draw the art you want to see,

Start a business you want to run,

Play the music you want to hear,

Write the books you want to read,

Build the products you want to use:

Do the work you want to see done.

Stopover in Istanbul

Lost at the airport, I met this both nice guys, Douglas and Mübi, who had to take the same flight to Bodrum. All from Germany, we took care of each other and spent the time together while we were waiting for the flight.
We had some interesting conversations about traveling, hard work in and now burnt out people, food, and business.
People asked me, when I travel if I don’t feel lonely sometimes.
No, you are almost never alone.
I share my moments always with people around me.

Haha! No, sorry. Thats not what I am…

If you close to someplace contact me. Maybe we can meet there.

Hugs & love

What makes you happy?

When we think about our life. Our inner desires, wishes and values and what we want to achieve finally – it always come back to happiness.

We may all have different plans and desires.
We want to buy a house for the time of retirement, travel or visit some specific places, aspire to a position or live a certain lifestyle.
But what is behind these dreams? What motivates us to aim it?
In the end, it’s mostly the ambition to be happy.

To buy a house is the intention to live a more peaceful life and don’t worry about money in times of retirement. Security may makes us relaxed. Relaxation is a good initial position for happiness.
To see new places, cultures and meet new people. Traveling is broaden up our mind. We learn more about life. The world becomes smaller and yourself richer. Or probably you just want to relax on the beach. But coming out of your small world and visit either inspiring new sides of life or the most beautiful places in the world, makes us happy.
If your intention is to live another lifestyle, you may not be happy yet with your current one. To much stress, pressure or a daily routined “hamster wheel lifestyle“. So your will is probably to change it into more relaxation, more quality, love and spending more time with your beloved ones.

It doesn’t matter which desires and intentions you have in life, in the end we all seeking for more happiness.

My wish was always to stay at the sunny side. I love the beach and sun and love to travel. So I made this to my lifestyle.
But even for me, I needed to prepare it for 1-2 years actively.
So thats why I want to share here with you how to start.

The four steps you have to work on. To change something and start your life, where you can be more happy.

1. Change your values (In my case: live with less luxury, enjoy the small moments, learn to love everybody and everything, feel home everywhere)
2. Change my habits (in my case: limit your belongings, learn and study every day for it)
3. Follow masters. Search for some „idols“, people, who already live that life, what you want to live. Follow them. Study them. What did they do for it? How could they became this characteristic? What are their values, habits, daily routines?
4. Stop dreaming and act. Now its time to make a plan and change it. If you start now continuously, you can achieve it quite soon.
Of course you have to be patience. But if I can do it, everyone can do it! 🙂

If you need help with it, contact me. Would love to provide you with infos and ideas or just sharing thoughts.

Finally here a video of my time with Terra nation as a beacher in Milos. Its our HAPPY beach version of Pharrel Williams.

Become happy. Feel happy. Be happy.

Mantra of the week

Live from the beach. My mantra of the week:

Face the sun.
Nap in a hammock.
Breathe salty air.
Go with he flow.
Drift.
Soften into warm sand.
Sway like coconut palm.
Float on a balmy breeze.
Surrender to the shore.
Let go.
Unwind.
Relax.
