I don’t write because I have anything to say.

(Maybe I do, but that’s not really the point.)

I write because it makes me feel good.

Writing connects me directly and deeply to the fresh flow of life that, according to me, underlies everything.

It’s a delicious, energetic thing.

I come alive when I do it, I feel cared for, inspired, open, at ease AND excited.

Just like when I coach.

It’s the same feeling of fulfillment and elation.

To me that means something.

I think that enthusiasm is purely invented to get us going, just for the sake of it.

In my quite vast experience as a (professional) creator, the state of flow is where we’re at our most inventive, our most open, and our most trusting.

I guess that means something too.

To me, those things are obvious signposts, guiding principles.

Tangible.

Encouraging.

Rewarding.

Powerful.

And not dependent on any outcome.

It’s just feeling good because you’re feeling good.

That’s why I love getting to know it better.

That’s why I enjoy indulging in it.

And that’s why I write.
