Dutch / English Post:
Wat is het geheim van superpresteerders? ⚡

Op de een of andere manier lijken ze altijd gemotiveerd. Welk lange termijn doel ze ook hebben, ze lijken altijd maar door te gaan totdat ze het resultaat behalen. Als er één woord zou zijn dat deze mentaliteit van superpresteerders zou beschrijven, zou het GRIT zijn.

GRIT staat voor:
- Give it your all
- Redo if necessary
- Ignore giving up
- Take time to do it right

Wat het leven hen ook brengt, mensen met GRIT zijn vastberaden om door te gaan. Ze zijn zich ervan bewust dat opoffering op korte termijn hen in staat stelt om later iets van grotere waarde te bereiken. Kortom, GRIT is een combinatie van passie en doorzettingsvermogen. Het betekent dat je om kan gaan met belemmeringen, tegenslagen en momenten van twijfel. Want die gaan er komen.

Maar we moeten GRIT van binnenuit kweken. Daarom heb ik zes methoden uiteengezet die je kan gebruiken om door te zetten als je zelf in dit veranderproces zit. Bekijk ze in het artikel (link staat onderaan deze post).

ENGLISH:
What is the secret of super achievers?

Somehow they seem motivated all the time. Whatever long term goal they have, they always seem to put in the effort - and get the result they want. If it would be one word that would describe this mindset of super achievers the word would be GRIT.

GRIT stands for:
- Give it your all
- Redo if necessary
- Ignore giving up
- Take time to do it right

Whatever life throws at them, people with GRIT are determined to keep grinding on. They are aware that sacrifice in the short term allows them to achieve something of greater value later. In short, GRIT is a combination of passion and perseverance, that allows you to deal with life impediments and setbacks. Because striving for success always means going into untrodden terrority and facing failures and moments of doubt.

But we have to grow GRIT from the inside out. That's why I've outlind six methods that you can use to follow through when things become tough:

Starting with personal change is difficult. We don

Starting with personal change is difficult. We don't get to change who we are in one or just a few days. This can make us feel like we are stuck in the status quo of life, as we are following the same mindset with old habits and routines, while wanting different results.

It's like a big line of domino's. We focus on the biggest domino there is (the end goal), and suddenly we lose the motivation to act. That’s when we need to realize that we need to start with just the first domino that is right in front of us. In other words, it's about finding the small actions that we can start with daily, that will give us momentum over the long term. It is about finding the path of least resistance, or the smallest change with the biggest effect, because each domino that we can topple over will give us the energy and momentum to tackle a bigger domino.

The big domino is the final goal in the end, but putting your awareness on it can be daunting, as it will only take away energy from the smaller challenge that lies in front of you. So start small, gain momentum and use that first domino as a catalyst to start the process of change. Then you can line up the other bigger domino's and crush them, with a consistent plan, practiced daily.

In short:
- Become aware of the first 'obstacle’
- Make smarter choices to tackle this problem
- Experience results and momentum
- Repeat the process

If you are interested in starting with a new habit or lifestyle change, follow my free challenge or download the Change Catalyst eBook. They will help you start with a new personal initiative in life so you can crush your big domino.

Stoic philosophy is a practical philosophy that fo

Stoic philosophy is a practical philosophy that focuses on maintaining a positive attitude. This is especially important when we encounter obstacles on our path. Do we let this affect us, or do we push forward and stay on the right course?

One example of a true Stoic was Marcus Aurelius. He was the Great Emperor of Rome and at that time the most powerful man in the world. But still, he was constantly struck with bad luck during his reign. A plague, wars, floods, a crisis and family issues were all giving him stress and anxiety.

But Marcus overcame all these obstacles and chose not to be harmed by it. Because he saw each obstacle as a necessary part of the path. This mindset allowed him to transform bad feelings into resilience and determination. Here are 3 ways for you to also train this Stoic Mindset:

- Purposeful Reflection
Reflection can help with staying positive because it gives insight how your thoughts are driving your behaviour. Reflection can therefore serve as your guiding light to accurately pinpoint the precise cause of your feelings.

- Gratitude Writing
Gratitude is cure for negative thinking. Instead of focusing on the gap, you focus on the gain. Instead of expanding on what is wrong, you amplify what is right. With gratitude you can give things a new meaning and change how you feel about a certain situation.

- Sentence Stems
The goal of the sentence stem exercise is to start with an incomplete sentence, and to keep adding different endings. The use of this exercise is to provoke new thoughts in order to challenge your beliefs. Try a sentence stem each morning to influence your attitude during the day, so you can respond differently when something happens:

If I ..
Lived 5 percent more assertively today I would..
Create 5% more energy / positivity today I would..

In short, sentence stems can help you create new thought patterns in your mind.

Use these exercises to become resilient in your own life when things don't go your way. Apply this wisdom actively, because Stoicism is not just a way of thinking, it must be a way of living.

💠 Turquoise is the colour that seeks wholeness

💠 Turquoise is the colour that seeks wholeness with the universe. With a holistic worldview, we engage our spiritual intelligence in order to live a purposeful life.

Turquoise is the last known colour so far in Spiral Dynamics, as people are looking for something more than their individual existence. We start to realize that we are all connected with the universe and there are cosmic powers around us. We understand that the distinction between us and the universe is made up. It's what we construct in our own minds. There is just everything and all of us. Instead of living in a world of duality we feel that on the energetic level we are all united.

Activate your turquoise motivation with:
- An inner sense of purpose - also known as your Ikigai
- Peak experiences in ordinary moments of life
- A craftsman mindset (instead of thinking what you can get, think of what you can give)

It’s time to awaken our inner sense of living, to embrace unity with something bigger than ourselves. It’s time to search for a deeper connection with life, synchronizing and connecting with the present moment.

🟡 Yellow is the colour of creative flow and positivity. It’s the flexible attitude that even though problems and obstacles will arise – you are resilient enough to overcome them.

Because the harsh truth of life is that things will not always go your way. You will be surprised and things will go wrong. That’s why yellow motivation is required to stay on the right path. With this type of energy, we can be cheerful and optimistic, by focusing on what is within our control.

So instead of complicating things, yellow can help us stay flexible. With a clarity and a boost in inspiration, we can utilize adversity as a way to grow.

Create this yellow motivation with:
-A stoic mindset to focus on what is truly within your control
- Flow exercises to prepare you for obstacles during the day
- The capacity to re-frame situations by seeing that obstacles are necessary for growth.

What is going on in your life that you can use as fuel for growth?

What type of mental flexibility do you need to stay on the right track?

🟢 Green is the colour of peace, harmony and balance.

It’s the colour that focuses on relationships with others, but also with various parts of yourself.

Because let’s face it, we all have conflicting and contradicting thoughts and activities in our lives.

Maybe we work hard to lose weight, but end up drinking beer at a party.
Or we try to save money but end up buying stuff we don’t need.
Or maybe we want to become more mindful, but we end up watching Netflix all night instead.

That’s why it is so important to focus on the essential and to eliminate activities that aren’t helping us. Because the hard truth in life is that we can have anything but not anything – and this means that sometimes we have to sacrifice one thing in order to obtain something more valuable.

Establish green motivation in your life with:
- Alignment between various goals and priorities
- Balance in your day to day lifestyle (by focusing on the risk vs reward)
- Elimination of ineffective habits that are working against you

So, which choice do you need to make to live a balanced lifestyle?
Which things should you focus on, and which things are better to eliminate from your day to day life?

🟠 Orange is the colour of ambition, drive and the need to achieve success. With orange, we have a laser-like focus on winning, striving for little improvements each day. Each challenge is seen as an opportunity that can be used to get closer to a goal.

It’s this orange motivation that allows us to improve and aspire. Gradually over time we become better at any activity we deem important, which gives us more confidence and belief in ourselves to continue.

This emotional belief, combined with our self-knowledge, allows us to engage our strengths while overcoming our own personal pitfalls.

With orange we can:
- Aspire towards a new future image
- Visualize our own success and believe in it
- Achieve small successes by removing self-sabotage and distractions

So, where do you see yourself in 5 years?

What self-limiting belief do you have that prevents you from striving towards your goal?

🔵 Blue is the colour of structure and order. This type of motivation is useful when we feel we lack stability and consistency in our lives.

Rather than leaning on short intense bursts of red motivation, blue focuses more on duration and the process. With this colour, we can build discipline in our day to day lifestyle.

Blue motivation can be activated by focusing on the adoption of a new habit as a goal in itself. In this case, it’s not the result that matters but the adherence to the habit over the long term.

It’s time to stop with sprinting the marathon. Focus on the long term process rather than the short term gains.

Activate blue now with:
- Small actionable habits
- Structured daily plans
- Delayed gratification (using rewards to sustain habits)

So, which habit do you want to cultivate?
What stops you from starting today?

🔴 Red is the colour that stands for action, determination and the willpower to conquer something new. If we feel stuck in our lives, red is the colour we need to activate.

Instead of feeling impatient, resistant or fierce, we can use red motivation to become more forceful, determined and committed to our new goal. Rather than feeling blocked, we can utilize red to push forward and advance.

So, if you feel that you want to break out of the status quo of life, focus on:
- A clear mission and commitment to action
- A pact with someone in your peer group
- A positive risk so you have some real skin in the game.

With red we can start with a new initiative and unlock our internal fire to achieve something of value.

What action have you been neglecting?
What action can you start with to ignite your personal transformation?

Discover Spiral Dynamics.
A theory that describes how human psychology has developed over thousands of years.

🟫 Beige - SurvivalSense
Our first value system was beige, the colour of survival. We needed to eat, drink and sleep. Our automatic instincts and sense of survival were guiding us in our choices, driven by brain programs and genetics.

🟣 Purple - KinSpirits
Our second value system was purple, the colour of safety. We learned to live in a clan and bond together, so we could cooperate and prosper. Loyalty to the community, rituals, and collective values became important.

🔴 Red - PowerGods
But then something changed within us. Our ego awakened and we started to seek more control and power over our environment. We took what we could, gratifying our direct impulses, without worrying about the consequences.

🔵 Blue - TruthForce
Because of the red chaos we developed the need for structure and order. Our search for meaning brought a new civilization with rules, religion, principles, guidelines for righteous living.

🟠 Orange - StriveDrive
In this new civilization, humans started to seek independence, autonomy and material abundance. With a winner mentality we took on opportunities to obtain more results, riches and success.

🟢 Green - HumanBond
But material success led us to the next lesson. We saw happiness was limited in possession. Our human need for connection and peace started growing, bringing harmony and balance to our lives.

🟡 Yellow - FlexFlow
In the last 50 years of our existence, technology has been rapidly changing our world. Our need for creative solutions and flexibility was born, adapting to the ever-changing world while dealing with conflicting truths and uncertainties.

💠 Turquoise - GlobalView
The final colour is turquoise, which is our need for a holistic worldview. We start seeing the world as a whole, with spirituality and purpose as important ways to connect with higher powers.

Discover how you can apply these colours in your own life with the Change Catalyst Challenge.

We all know the moment Harry Potter put on the sor

We all know the moment Harry Potter put on the sorting hat. The sorting hat told him his personality would be a great fit with Slytherin.

But Harry wished for a different result. A different life. He saw he could BE a Gryffindor and this convinced the sorting hat to accept his choice.

And choice is far more more important than who you currently are.

In this story lies a fundamental truth and lesson that we can apply to our own life.

"You can become who you choose to be".

Really, it doesn't matter who you are right now.

What matters much more is who you want to become.

So even though our own personality partly defines who we are, we should never let it limit our potential. It should never be the reason we cannot do or achieve something.

Like Albert Einstein said; "Imagination is far more important than knowledge". Because with imagination we can look into the future and see a new version of ourselves.

We should always imagine being our own hero. Always looking ahead 10 years and seeing who you can be. You definitely won't ever be as good as your hero, but it gives you something to chase.

How does your future version look like?

Let that be the catalyst for change in the present moment. Make an active choice like Harry to become the person you aspire to be.
