Not sure if I replied yet, but I’m really stoked to hear everything is OK! Actually, no matter what, everything turns out OK given some time. All that matters is how you look at things – it can either be a tragedy or an opportunity. My personal situation, much like yours, was intially disguised as a tragedy – and I let it control my life, my thinking, for too long. Now, I can only see it as one of the greatest opportunities in my life!

I was thinking more of a kind of a forum. but this could work as well. so I give it a shot and start:

I live in Germany and I am unenployed for too many years. I am not dumb, I am kinda lazy and weird in my head:) I wanna stop that kind of life now and wanna “get up every morning to change the world a little and have a damn good time by doing that..” (E.B.White)

I have sooo many ideas in my head but no money. So I wanna apply for money support from the government for starting a little business to get the ball rolling. Maybe half a year later when things are moving I wanna create my ‘muse’ and start the crazy businesses I really want but the government wouldn´t pay for.

The thing is I´m sitting over the application form for about a month, don´t get to do the first step, it´s crazy.. And need movement back in my life..

So, I tell you all my little goal for the next week: I wanna send the application letter to the government until next week, start going out for jogging again and take a swim every day. Sounds a little silly but those things really pushe me and make me feel alive. Next week I´m gonna tell you if I got it (or not)..

does anyone feel like joining me and tell us about your plan and your one-week-goal?

please share..

cheers!

Thanks so much for caring and your words of encouragement has helped me immensely.

My persuasion skill wasn’t so great…but at least I was able to make her feel extremely guilty about the idea of abortion.

Guess what? My son was born healthily on the 17th of June! And best of all, my gf loves him so much!!

I’m currently living with my gf’s family and they’ve offered to take care of my son IF we decided we wanted to do our own things. Although I want to take care of him and see him grow, I want to pursue my ambitions too so I’m still deciding which option to take.

As for me, I’m doing everything I can to earn enough $$$ so I can pay for my son’s expenses + have the option to go to Brazil or Spain to do some serious soccer training.

5 months ago, my life was so gray and I felt so miserable. I’m extremely happy and grateful (even though sleep deprived from baby crying, lol) with how things are now.

Now I’ve got to get my butt moving so I can train daily, work on my business, and organize my life!

once again thanks for caring!!!

For sure, this is what this blog is all about. Lots of people want to take control of their lives, or as Tim puts it, lifestyle design. Not too many people talk about their journeys. This is where this blog comes in. I’m showing how it’s done AS IT HAPPENS. If you have any questions or things you’d like to know, want me to write about, please ask. I actually have a TON or half-written articles already, as well as videography for another 5 inspirational videos. I can’t outsource it… because as Tony Hsieh wrote in “Delivering Happiness”, don’t outsource your core competency.

All the best,

Jesse Ki’une

I don´t need to tell you how much I appreciate the work and sharing on this blog I just discovered a view weeks befor. Thank you Ki’une!

I read Tim´s book and his blog, read the Law of Attraction, listened to Steve Jobs great words and searched the internet for as much as possible informations about taking my life in my hands and having succes and lots of fun. It´s great having you guys out there on the other side of the world having the heart on the same side as mine.

I am asking you to accompany each other on our way to a great life. To create a kind of braintrust or mastermind to tell each other our goals, our plans and our experiences. TOGETHER we could be smarter and more motivated and more efficient then sitting at home alone..

what do you think? Ki’une, do you think we can put something together?

please allow me to put some words here of Edward Boches:

“Surround yourself with people who give you energy. As far as I’m concerned there are only two kinds of people in business: those you want to avoid, and those with whom you want to surround yourself. The former sucks energy out of you by complaining, criticizing and making excuses. The latter infuses your imagination with fresh thinking, interesting ideas, and a contagious enthusiasm for what’s possible…

…I think one of the greatest things about the new digital platforms that let us connect, share, discover and expand our tribes is that we can find sources of inspiration anywhere.”

I am sorry if you think my question is inappropriate! I just read your post (5 month later) and I am wondering how you decided?
