    Mijn motto en waarden

    “De wereld is één groot theater!” luidt mijn levensmotto. Er is op onze aarde ontzettend veel te zien, te maken en te beleven. Ik stel mijzelf tot doel om gedurende de tijd dat ik in dat theater mag verblijven, hier zo veel mogelijk van te genieten. Vivo.nu is mijn vehikel om dat waar te maken.

    *UPDATE* Een mooie variant is ook:

    “De wereld is een boek en wie niet reist, die leest maar één pagina”

    Voor mijzelf, en daarmee dus ook voor Vivo.nu, heb ik een aantal belangrijke waarden geformuleerd:

    Authenticiteit Dit betekent voor mij eerlijkheid, oprechtheid, emotie, humor en plezier. Status, macht en geld zijn voor mij hieraan ondergeschikt.
    Ontwikkeling Ik wil graag nieuwe mensen, nieuwe concepten en nieuwe visies ontdekken. Ik vind het heerlijk om me te verbazen en te verwonderen. Daarnaast is het blijven ontwikkelen van mijn eigen kwaliteiten een van mijn drijfveren.
    Contact Met andere mensen samen zijn en samen dingen bereiken is erg belangrijk voor mijn geluk. Ik leef er van op om energie te steken in een groep die daardoor zichzelf weet te overtreffen.
    Afwisseling Mijn spanningsboog is relatief kort en daardoor ben ik altijd op zoek naar iets nieuws, iets fris en steeds een schone lei.
    Creatie Ik word gelukkig van creatieve mensen en van het creatieve proces. Van niets naar iets, buiten de kaders denken, maar ook het produceren van muziek, beeld en design. Het liefst val ik aan het eind van iedere dag in slaap met de wetenschap dat de wereld een stukje anders is dan hoe ik haar die ochtend aantrof.
    Natuur Mijn liefde voor muziek, publiek en vermaak wordt in balans gehouden door het verlangen en genot van bos, bergen, zee, strand, wind, water en zon.
    Rust & Harmonie Het niveau van enorme energie en enthousiasme waar ik me graag op begeef, kan alleen maar bestaan als ik ook af en toe pas op de plaats maak, ruimte neem voor bezinning en voldoende aandacht schenk aan mijn gezondheid.
