Experimental post: I recorded myself while writing this blog post. I just went with the flow and wrote whatever I had in mind. Let me know what you think of it, because it’s pretty different, but at least you can read the post as I was writing it with the kind of music I was listening to!
Hi [MM_Member_Data name=’firstname’],
This is the first post of it’s kind, and I’m super excited! Food for Thought is a new kind of blog post where I’ll share everything that’s going on in my mind, or what I experience. As you might know, I’m quite young and I’ve had my fair share of experiences in my life. Some people say success, but I really don’t like saying that word, because really though, what is success?
How can we measure it? How can we define it? Is it universal? What the fuck does success even mean?
I don’t know…
However, what I do know is, I try to find my inner peace. I try to be the best that I can and learn from everything that happens to me and to the people around me. Will we find the perfect answer to it? I don’t think so, because we all start from different points. We all have different opinions and goals.
But Marc, where are you going with all of this?
The answer is, I don’t know. Nothing is certain, and I don’t think too much about it. I do what feels right to me right now and what I think is good for me, and I think you should do the same on your side.
What I do know and I am sure of is:
You and I will die.
This is deep. It’s sad and unfortunate that we have an end-time, but it’s also magical in the sense that we have a limited time to do whatever we want. So I do think we have to go after what we want the most right now.
Over the years, I’ve learned so many things, like:
If you do nothing, than you cannot have anything (a lot of people sit around and expect results).
If you’re cocky about what you have, life will slap you in the face and show you that it can take back everything you think you’ve got.
Controlling our thoughts is our biggest asset to feel happy. When something goes wrong, or a certain situation is awry, we have to step out of that negativity and realize the change that has to happen to feel great again.
I learned that the more you share your knowlege and what you experience, the more connections and positive vibes you’ll bring to yourself.
I learned that money is nothing, whether a piece of paper or a coin, but you still need it to be free. Money = freedom.
I learned that you can make money by helping others, I learned that you can use negative energy and transform it into something positive.
I learned a bunch of stuff in some incredibly ugly moments. In fact, I made all those mistakes and learned from them.
What did you learn in the last 3 years? That’s my question!
Too many just survive in their life. Too many just move around and don’t even think! Are you aware of who you are, what you will become and where you are in the world?
Are you you?
Are you the person you want to be?
Are you good for people around you, or do you bring them down with your sadness?
These are the kinds of questions I’ve asked myself.
I started Food for Thought strong, I think. Real deep. But that’s me. I’m weird, I’m thoughtful, I like seeing things, and asking myself why things are the way they are, because one day I will die. It’s unpredictable, but I hope to leave something behind, to maybe help a couple of people with what I experienced so the person after me can save time in their life and experience what’s next.
I hope you have enjoyed Food for Thought 01.
Thanks for reading!
Yours truly,
Marc
Dear Marc,
First of all, my compliments that you take the time to think before you are type this letter, because I can’t ! Today I was by my psychologic and I said the same to him .. I can’t plan, because I am an impulsive person, always. He said to me you can’t change yourself like be a different person, but you can learn abilities to help you in life.
What you said about Money = Freedom, I am not agree with that. When I was out of prison (shit happends) I had no money, only my clothing and believe me Marc, I felt freedom. Well that was 15 years ago, now I am 37 years old.
Like you said in another motivation video, about some things you have no control. The other reason why I can’t plan .. after all my experience in life, I live day by day and see what happends tomorrow, because not everyone has a stability life. Uhm yes I write this without think like you did in this video. I always watch your video 2 or 3 times to understand and realize what you are saying or what you want try to motivate me.
Well Marc you are pretty damn good, you are even better than my psychologist ! A lot of things keep me in mind about your motivation videos, like the The past is The past video, the words like don’t stress about something you don’t have control etc. I need some kind of handles to move on. Thank you for listen and for this video. Danielle Kwint

This is great Marc. Thank you . I think true freedom lies. in knowing that we get to choose what we think, how we perceive situations and events
I have turned around so much in my life through my pursuit of fitness and my desire to empower others. The more we can give to others the more our own lives are deeply enriched. The worst thing we can do is to stop asking questions. It’s a real joy to be part your work and your journey. Thanks man.
Exactly right! Love the comment :)
Wow, I’m glad I read this post. Makes you think about so much. What are you as a person? – Are you strolling through life working for someone else making their dream come true? You’ve given me a lot to think about Marc! – I look forward to #2!
Thanks for sharing Danny, the only purpose of what I create is trying to level up.
