Sometimes we need to do what's right, not easy

Why I stop to share deep reflections on LinkedIn

Welcome to this first post.

Let me share how I ended up here.

I can do this best by sharing my last LinkedIN post with you.

Here it is:

“I made the decision a while ago, but the fruit needed some ripening.

The world is changing.
You’re changing.
I’m changing.

The nature of existence.
Everything’s always changing.

I can’t stop this thought from moving through my sphere.
It’s haunting me, in a good way.

But it’s not just a thought.
It goes beyond.

Why not actually make the change you want to see in the world?

Show, don’t tell.
Walk the walk.
Play the game.

In the way you want to play it.
A way that's more sustainable.
That brings more joy.
More connection.

For me, this means something huge.
And to be really honest with you, I'm scared.

My long reflections and stories, which I’ve shared here for the last 4 years, will find a different home. I guess I will still share on here. But the core content will move. I am not interested in mass audience reach any more. (Only stopped chasing the numbers recently.)

After a morning ceremony last Saturday with my partner, I received two clear insights - like the final drops.

I sat down with sacred tobacco.
Meditated.
Chanted.
Became still.

And it - the stillness - showed me something:

Nothing new.
But something I needed to hear:

1. The noise gets louder every second.

2. The distractions multiply every moment.

We created the very technology that now hijacks our nervous systems.
And we keep feeding it.

Go find your way with it. Follow your heart. Follow your instinct. What got you here won’t get you there, son. You know it. Now, act.

As it works with the world and the universe, my phone battery died last Monday evening, and I didn't charge it for five days.

Another nudge. The space in between has widened, and it has shown me to continue what I started. Today I write this from my laptop, because my phone is off again.

What a beautiful new way I see ahead.

It consists of stillness.
Unconditional support.
Relentless practice.

Bringing people together
Bringing myself together.

I am fiercely committed.
Scared of failure.
Excited to meet the unknown.

And calm.
I feel so calm.”

This was two days ago. And next to the fact that it feels SO good to let go of the old pattern, a huge insight came up since then:

Sometimes we need to do what’s right, not easy.

Stop holding back. Stop letting your fears, doubts and insecurities drive your car. Go have a kind but direct chat with them.

Put them in the back seat.

Or in the trunk.

Then make yourself comfortable in the driver’s seat.

And go do what’s right, not easy.

What’s that for you today?
