Living everyday life as i had been taught, just a little bit different than anyone else, wasn't different enough for me.
I was brought up in a suburban life, in a family of four with loving parents. i went to school where i was taught to sit still , be quit and listen.
I was expected to dress and act a certain way and for a long time i did, i looked around me to see what behaviour was concidered wanted and what made people gossip.
As i was trying fit in, i greadually realised i have a different vieuw of the world than other people and i wanted something else in life.
I tried being the friend, employee, girlfriend , daughter and sister that people wanted me to be but it didn't feel right.
A long time i had to supress who i was in my core being and the more i did, the more i wanted to break free.
I changed my hairstyle monthly because this was a way i could give expression and i had total freedom to do whatever i wanted with it.
I really enjoyed giving so much expression with my hair, everytime i changed it, it gave me a feeling of a new adventure or a new mood i took on.
I have always been amazed by the influence it had on my surroundings, it also amazed me how quickly people would tell me what they thought of it.
I would just walk into a room and have my hair black instead of blond, or the opposite or have it long instead of short or the other way around or pink or purple or whatever i liked.
As soon as i would walk into the room, they would give their oppinion about it, eventhough i never asked them.
Now if they liked it or not, i was always amazed by how people view the world and how they think that their opinion is so important to me.
How i had choosen this for my hair and they could "vote" if it should stay or not.
Now the example i am giving here about my hair can really be applied to anything in anyones life.
Quickly after i finished school to become a Nanny, i came to the realization that being an employee and being told what to do interfered with my creativity and not being able to work from the heart left me feeling empty and exhausted.
So i started my own company as a dog walking service, after it took off i did that succesfully for over a decade and i absolutely loved it.
I enjoyed being outside and being with dogs helps you to live in the now and stay grounded,
I absolutely love dogs and the lessons they can teach us, they are so happy, funny, pure and what you see is what you get.
All the meanwhile i was working with the dogs i started to feel like i wanted to break free from the suburban life.
Because eventhough i had found my own way of doing it, i was still living the suburban life, i worked 5 days a week, rented a house, payed my bills and what was left was there for me to have my fun with and i just felt like i wanted more.
I was spiritually outgrowing my current life, i studied a lot about the law of attraction and manifestation, through "the Secret" ,Bob Proctor and more recently through Ambraham Hicks.
I felt like i wanted to go in a different direction and for the first time in my life i was allowing thoughts of more prosperity in.
My brain was like a sponge and i wanted to saturate it with all the information i could get my hands on.
Luckily youtube has a lot of audiobooks available that i could binge listen and luckily i have a friend who is in the same headspace to talk to about these things.
After i had gathered all the courage and information i needed, i took the big plunge and found someone to take over my dog walking service and started www.plantyourdreams.nl
I now had the freedom to start doing what i really want in life wich is building out a campervan and ,together with my three dogs, travel the world in her.
All the while i am manifesting the life i want, i am doing the excersises from "ask and it is given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
I am currently in the middle of manifesting my dream life, wich is why i created my youtube channel and now my blog to talk about what it is like to be in the middle the manifesting process.
To document and hopefully inspire other people to go for what they want and to dare to dream.
Plant your Dreams and seeds will grow..
Now, "Plant your Dreams" is my new bussines and still requires some time and energy.
But! i love houseplants and gemstones and making people happy with buying a gorgeous piece to place in their home.
I love going shopping for gorgeous items to sell in my shop and i love the process up to the happy responses i get from all my customers.
So eventhough i might occasionally make a 10 hour "work"day it feels like i just had fun my entire day.
I choose what it is i want to spend my time and energy on that day and that gives me a sence of freedom and energy wich i wish for everybody.
So what i would like to leave you guys with today is: Don't be affraid to go after what it is you want in life
You play the main role and you get to write your own the script!
Warm Wishes,
Kim
