Week in Review - May 5th

May 07, 2017 in Week in Review, Office x

This week was a great week for me. Filled with achievements and sense of mastery.
I had my first LIVE Talkshow Ever. 3 guests and it went well. I've been dreaming about it for such a long time, and NOW. Finally.. wow on my birthday 2nd of May I got that as a gift from the universe. Quite happy about that!

I also did something I haven't considered ever; having my birthday public on Facebook. Regardless of I not having it visible people started to comment on my wall and I actually felt good about it. I've always had this ambivalent feeling of my birthday.. I stopped celebrating it at the age of 11 and haven't done it ever since.. but.. at my 28th Birthday it felt different. So, the next day I went on and hit public birthday on my Facebook. So, next year I'll get some more comments I guess. Reconnecting with people I haven't hear from in a long time. Not too bad!

So, whats been up lately around the web? Sadly I haven't been reading too much this week but the few things I've been digging through I'll post here :D

Hope this sparks some inspiring thoughts and talks!

SPACE

I've been reading for years about these Fast Radio Burst that is inexplicable to scientists. I find it quite fascinating and I keep believing in a theory that it actually is advanced extraterrestial beings in the making of these. I came across the story once again this week in an article telling that Harvard Scientists now believe the same by Futurism. It's quite interesting. Read more here!

Foundational Inspiration

I’d like to share with you some content I love going back to whenever I feel stuck, unfocused or frustrated. Perhaps you might find some inspiration in my motivational resources too. I’m sure many of you are familiar with this already.

Listening to podcasts, books or videos from Tim Ferriss, Oprah, Larry King, Richard Branson, Elon Musk and Gary Vaynerchuck is always a safe bet - these people reminds me of who I am and where I want to be therefore easily put me back on track. Two books I always have in mind are “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek and “Essentialism” by Greg McKeown

But below are two videos that never goes out of date and has been essential to me start going after what I really want.

Video nr 1 Casey Video “You Can’t”

This video is for everybody that has been told that “they couldn’t do something just because.” I grew up in an environment where doing what I truly wanted as a grown up never seemed like an option. I was filled up with doubt in the life of becoming an adolescence cause I though I had to settle down with a life I didn’t wanted and that the only possibilities were either becoming a doctor, nurse, lawyer, journalist or teacher or firefighter or policeman. I had no one to look to for inspiration. Being an entrepreneur was an unfamiliar concept. No one once mentioned to me that I actually can create my reality, I can make my life just the way I want it. But deep within I knew that there had to be more, I wanted to be my own brand. I wanted to create a life around me and my passion but I didn’t know how. And it took me 29 years to figure it and dare going for it. I wonder what would happen if someone at a young age presented to me the concept of entrepreneurship. Anyhow, watch this and be inspired.
