My 'Way(e) of Life'

Let me introduce myself..

Hi, I'm Paul !

I was born in England, in the land of Winnie the Pooh (Hartfield, East Sussex)

I moved to the Netherlands at the end of 2000 with my Dutch wife, Karin and am now also a proud Dutch citizen! I have two adult kids; Finley and Maia.

In 2017, I did a reset.

I realised that I was slowly (ever so slowly) getting less and less happy each day.

The spark was fading. This upset me as there were moments in my life when I was deeply joyful.. so I decided to try and return to them.

I asked myself what made me happy and tried to bring back those elements

Go crazy - Go creative

I want to be seen. If I get seen I can reach more people - and that can make a difference.

If I can influence 10% of people who follow me, then I want that 10% to be as many people as it can be.

So I like to do crazy things and I like to be creative in doing them

I have a huge section on this site just showing of some of my projects. Here are my favourite projects

Instagram is where it is at

But it you were to ask me where I make my biggest impact? Simple. My daily plogs.

Each day I post on Instagram and tell a positive story about the day. About my mission.

We need that in the world today. So check out instagram.com/wayeoflife

This is about POSTIVE STORIES

Lets talk about that.

Social Media - and proving I do all this

Social Media provides a way to reach a bigger audience.
It gives me a chance to be seen – AND FOR THE WORK I DO WITH MY SPONSORS TO BE SEEN!

It also keeps me honest;

Strava proves I pick up on each run.
CSFN (Clean Something for Nothing) proves how much I collect.

I use social media to;

bring a positive message to people.
give people a smile.
reach and inspire new people.
show you what I am doing (not what I did 6 months ago).
keep inspiring existing people.

Which every platform you are on, just search for WayeofLife

This is about POSITIVE ACTIONS

Let's talk about that.

A sustainable future requires change in us all; a collaborative union between governments, companies and society.

As a plogger I focus on inspiring change in our daily behaviours.
As a participant I show that these actions are fun!

It is only sustainability if it is sustainable and doing it with a smile is the easiest way to achieve that.

I want to bring a positive story into the world today that helps us protect the future
