A real community connects members with each other. It’s just another social media feed if you only interact with me. That is why I host game nights every Thursday at 7 pm CET. We play a different game each week, and today, we are playing chess. I know many of you are big chess players. Below, you see @Tales Alves and me playing at the airport of Tallinn. I may amplify the experience and organize tournaments for some friendly competitions. But at Chess.com, we can experiment with different play modes. Ever played 4-player chess? It’s incredibly fun. What games are you excited to play in the future?

One of the frustrating things is seeing people "dumber" than you getting way better results than you. But, If they can actually get results, they're not dumb after all. Reality is the ultimate arbiter. They can take action, which is more valuable than your imaginary greatness.

I arrived home on Thursday, and the party was already on Saturday. Usually, I have weeks to prepare, but this time I only had 2 days. And I was still working on both of them. The worst moment came when it suddenly started raining, and in my frustration, I took an axe and chopped down a tree. That motherfucker bothered me for years. (It was also sick and had to be put down.) But in the end I had a lot of fun and was in a state of flow for the majority of the time. Btw, I just finished "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Here is an interesting paraphrased passage: "People must seek out activities that challenge them, offer clear goals, provide immediate feedback, and encourage deep focus. By doing so, they can transform daily life into a series of meaningful, enjoyable experiences, promoting long-term well-being." This is also my goal for the HoliGamES and each year it is getting better. For example: This year I removed the agenda and just went with the flow. Even though we didn't do everything I planned in the beginning it was more fun and less stressful. (Especially after chopping down that tree.) Here are my highlights: ⚔️ Sword Fights 🏐 Volleyball 🤾‍♂️ Dodgeball 🔥 Bonfire ♟️ Chess No injuries. No hangovers. Just pure fun and flow. A big thank you to @Lorena Vukić for supporting me every step of the way, and to @Marcel Samyn for capturing some amazing drone shots! I am already planning the HoliGamES for next year. It is going to be the weekend of the 23rd of August. Get ready to have fun time.

If you haven't read "Can't Hurt Me", Do it. It's about finding a whole new level within you This page. Is my fav page of the book. When I want to create breakthroughs I make sure I read this sh*t several times. stay hard, stay kind

I wanted to give you a little update on how my reality is unfolding. As some of you know, I have recently moved to the coast of Costa Rica, to this magical place call Nosara. Yesterday I turned 1 week old in the area, feeling very excited about my new opportunities, connecting with outstanding artists and healers. The beautiful thing about this place is that there is a big network of people in our age range that are looking to live an enriching life close to nature and connected to the heart. I've been going to different dancing and singing circles and you guys are constantly showing up in my field. I miss you so much and would love to be sharing this with my familia
