We have arrived in Denmark

We are here. 

We've decided to spend a week at our holiday house while Christina and I dash back and forth to the flat in Copenhagen to finish furnishing it. 

There is a calm that falls over me when I arrive here that's hard to describe. 

Like a combination of that feeling you get when you pass your exams and the relief you get when you take off uncomfortable clothes. 

*ladies think bra,
Men think coat when you've just walked into a hot house. 

I think it's likely different for everyone but for me *THIS* is a reminder or how I want to feel most often. 

I think that's a really cool way to look at life. 

Rather than thinking about what I want to achieve or what I want to be doing which are both pretty open to frequent change. 

I ask; 

How do I want to feel?
How do I not want to feel? 

I've had so many different passions, goals, pass times that I love, they change as often as I do. 

Ultimately, they are just tools.

Tools that allow me to feel how I love to feel or avoid how I hate to feel. 

The stuff I want to do and achieve obviously comes into this but it's further down stream. 

It comes after because it's a pretty blunt instrument. It doesn't take into consideration who I want to do it with, where I want to do it from, what is important to me in the way I do it, what will I not put up with on the way, how much do I want to earn, what change do I want to make in the world, and more besides. 

My feelings, 

Our feelings, 

are the truest guide to a life we love. 

Note: If you're feeling how you hate to feel it's an indicator of 1 of 2 things. Either you need to change something or up-skill somewhere. 

Beware the tendency to blame others before self. Look at YOU first. 

Anyway, 

I'm off to grab a beer 🍻
