la vie adorable /
the good life

I had come to the conclusion that I must really be French,
only no one had ever informed me of this fact.
I loved the people, the food, the lay of the land,
the civilized atmosphere,and the generous pace of life.
–Julia Child

Whatever you do, be YOU and not a copy of someone else.

"Whatever you do, be YOU and not a copy of someone else."

This hit me right now as I was thinking and re-thinking about what it is that I want to do with my online presence. In fact: not only with my online presence, but with my LIFE.

Yes, I want to inspire, motivate and empower women to live their life un-apologetically on their own terms. But not only women, - ALL people! I want to show them that being who they are is enough. I want them to be proud of who they are and feel confident in their own skin. I want them to really understand it and feel it with all their heart and in their bones. That they are valuable. Unique. Wonderful!

The big question I'm asking myself over and over again is "HOW can I do that?" And the answer came to me, pure and simple: "Whatever you do, be YOU and not a copy of someone else."

I have tried and tested... changed my words with the hope that I would reach more people by doing so ...
I have spent hours, days, weeks and months trying to learn from others who have succeeded in building an audience online...
I've invested time and money in it.
I've had plans.
I've been persistent.
I've followed other people's advice about what I should do to get through to "my specific audience"....

But deep inside, I feel that all this... all my efforts... they're not showing the whole picture of who I really am.

Because I'm not a strategist (even though I'm good at making plans). And if a task takes too long before I see any results, I get impatient. I get bored!

I'm a creative person. I don't have ONE passion. I have many! I find it hard to focus on just ONE thing that I should share with others.

I'm a social, outgoing person who loves to interact with people. And at the same time I'm a person who really appreciates some alone-time and don't have any problem with spending hours on my own...

But most of all I want to be with people and talk, interact, laugh, engage in good conversations, share a good meal, inspire, motivate and help others, and also learn from them and grow, spiritually and as a person.

And my passion really is in the creative field, but I've been hiding that side of me for so many years that it scares me stiff to even think that I should "go for it"... that I should "come out of the closet" and show my true self ... the XXXXX in me ...

Damn! I can't even say the word...! Because I'm afraid it will back-fire on me.... that people will throw that word back in my face and say: "Ha! An XXXXXX!? Who does she think she is!?"

So I'm going to spend a few more days in my "closet" now, thinking about what to do about it... How to be true to myself, - how to REALLY show myself and others that I live what I preach: That being me is enough, and that I will stand tall and not be afraid to show it ....
So that they can really get my message and understand that they are enough, too.

YOU are enough.

Because it's really the only way to truly live: "Whatever you do, be YOU and not a copy of someone else."

    I'm
    Else Kosberg, entrepreneur, life designer, author and photographer.
    I'm a passionate Francophile, which means I'm

    especially dedicated to the French Lifestyle.
    For me, it's all about
    living with intention, living The Good Life - or La Vie Adorable, as I like to call it. My experience is that the French lifestyle has most of the elements that I find to be in alignment with that.

    I'm on a mission to inspire YOU to live "La Vie Adorable", too, - to live with intention, with as much joie de vivre as humanly possible, and with complete time- and money freedom.


    If you haven't already got the life you truly want, simply decide to start today, and then take one step at a time. "Be quick, but not in a hurry."  Start slow, but start today.

    Bisou,
    Else Kosberg
