Less but Better

This week I was reading Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown and among the many takeaways that I got from the book is that we should always strive to do “less but better.”…

Why Today Was An Amazing Day For Me

I Was Definitely On A Roll

Have you ever enjoyed every single minute in a particular day?

That’s my day for now. I don’t want to brag but I had the most amazing day today.

Okay, I’m totally bragging but I’m too hyped to care.

Today was amazing.

And frankly, I was due for a day like today because I was struggling a bit in the past week.

The universe rewarded me today.

First of all, the weather is truly fantastic here.

Autumn has always been my favourite season so I had to make a long walk through the forest.

The sound of dry leaves rustling beneath my feet is easily in the top five of my favourite sounds in nature.

And before you ask: No, I haven’t established the other four sounds yet.

When I was in the middle of the forest, I took a short break from walking and tried to stay as quiet as possible.

There was not a living soul in sight.

After a couple of minutes of being quiet, the sound of other creatures started to come through.

I never heard that before because I was always rushing through without taking the time to really listen.

Only when you take your time and become truly quiet, will you start seeing what’s around you.

That was a lesson right there.

Then I got home.

I crawled behind my desk, powered up my computer and checked my charts.

To be honest, they’re looking good and I might end up 2018 as a winner after all. 😉

Take Tesla for instance.

I talked about the stock (TSLA) in previous posts.

I mentioned back then that it’s massively overvalued.

However, I also recommended to stay away from it because the story still dominated reason.

Now I think we’re seeing the growth-story break down a bit.

I still don’t think I would take a short position but this thing is getting awfully interesting.

There’s too much hype and BS in the market and a lot of investors are figuring that out.

Gravity always wins in the end.

My gut is spot on these days.

I’m doing exercises to improve my intuition and they’re working. Especially animals seem to be sensitive to my intuitive skills.

In the past, dogs scared me and I would never trust them.

Now, random dogs are approaching me on the street and they always seem to like me.

Some owners are even surprised because their dog usually doesn’t like strangers.

I also did a ‘horse whispering’ experiment with a horse today.

He was standing on the other side of the field and wasn’t even watching me. So I just patiently waited near the fence, beaming out concentrated thought.

I was imagining that I was petting the horse.

And after a couple of seconds, the horse turned around and approached me.

Maybe it was random luck.

I’ve always been called lucky in the past.

And now I realize why. I always seemed to feel what would turn out great for me and what wouldn’t.

It wasn’t luck, it was intuition. I truly believe that.

But I don’t mind it when people call me lucky.

In fact, that’s my goal.

I still have a lot of work to do before that’s happens.

But today was a great start.
