How to Really Be an Original

Embrace change, and live consciously. Take some time off if you need to.
Then get back into it! My friend Lodewijk van den Broek has redesigned his blog and his way of thinking.
Check it out:

A new beginning — be an original

This blog used to be “How to be an Original”, but from now on it’ll be known under the name “be an original“. And while that’s only a small change in the name, it does make a lot of difference in the meaning.

I grew to dislike the “how-to” name, because I associate how-to’s with tutorials, with step-by-step guides for getting from A to B. And that was not what I wanted to achieve with my blog. So I dropped the how-to in order to get a title that’s an appeal to people. Be an original!

It’s an appeal to wake up, and live your life consciously. To stop just getting along, to stop sheepwalking, and to start experiencing life. And it’s in the spirit of that appeal that I want to write, on all the aspects that are associated with it.

So that’s the start of the new phase of this blog.

Good luck, Lodewijk!
