Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that can make you incredibly happy!
Passing by my office during the Amsterdam Marathon. Having enough battery to keep livestreaming. And, of course, having real fans cheering you on!
Can you imagine running for 4.5 hours while talking to your phone? Just saying whatever comes to mind.
Was it a performance, or was it more like spending some time living inside my own mind?
Maybe both.
To be honest, it felt incredibly freeing. It gave me room for creativity, and somehow, everything felt limitless.
At times, I even found myself cheering on the supporters. Haha! Normally, it’s the other way around. But these people stand there for hours, cheering everyone on with the same incredible energy.
And sometimes, things would go quiet for a moment. So whenever I needed an extra boost, I’d point my camera at them, start cheering, and they would immediately cheer right back!
That’s what life is all about.
Life is a party, but you have to hang the garlands yourself!
Entrepreneurship is pretty much the same. Whatever you don’t set in motion won’t happen on its own. You have to take initiative. You have to start. You have to create your own opportunities.
And that’s exactly what I took away from this experience.
Just start a marathon. Just buy the ticket. Just start a livestream and see what happens. Just cheer for the supporters and get some cheering back.
You never know what might happen until you actually do it.
This video was filmed at the 7 km mark, so I was still feeling pretty fresh. After 20 km, things got a whole lot harder. Haha!
Maybe I’ll share a few more moments once I’ve made my way through 4.5 hours of video footage. 😉
What an adventure. And what a beautiful reminder that sometimes the smallest things bring the biggest smiles!
