‘Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills’ – Jim Rohn
I am Vinu, and I am almost a Dutchy. I came to the Netherlands with Marije 5 months ago, and man, a lot has changed ever since. A very important thing is the visa I got two weeks ago. A little card that allows me to stay in the Netherlands, to achieve great things here, to become a Dutch person if I want to and.. legally live in a Tiny House in the Netherlands. I arrived a few months ago as a Civil Engineer to be, wishing to create a career as fast as possible. I applied and applied, but no success. And boy, am I happy I got none. The last few months made me go deep into 
myself and ask myself what really makes me happy. What person do I want to be, what legacy do I want to leave behind?
I realized that being a civil engineer is not the purpose of my life, that I had to think about engineering in a different way. One of my biggest passions in life is body building or as I like to call it, body engineering. The ability to sculpt the body to the way you picture it to gives an amazing sense of control. It is a quest for mastery, and it is a beautiful pursuit. It makes me feel incredibly alive. I acquired skills along every step of the way such as practicing discipline and testing my work ethic. The empowerment of knowing hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard makes me feel unbeatable. In my eyes it is almost a spiritual quest. I want to share this with the world and others, so I decided to finally use my other degree and become a Personal Trainer. This is m
y way of giving back to the world and pursuing my dreams.
As you know, I am all about a healthy lifestyle, and nutrition is a big part of it. By meeting Marije I got introduced to Herbalife. I started using the products and fell in love with it. The health (and wealth) I grant myself, I grant others too. Let the world be healthy! I decided to sign up as a promoter and ambassador for Herbalife, because the combination of this and being a Personal Trainer is perfect.

What has the Tiny House project to do with it? Starting our Tiny House project really helped creating this path, and stimulated a way of thinking that I never experienced before. Thinking outside the box, having big dreams. Thinking big doesn’t only apply to the Tiny House itself, it also created the opportunity to 
really think and act on my passions. Practically, the Tiny House allows us to have more time and more financial freedom to pursue our dreams. With the freedom to move the house easily and not being dependent on a job which is tied to a place, we can even grow an international business. Our Tiny House just got another purpose; it will be our office.
The thing we have to do now is make it all happen. That is not going to be easy, but that’s okay. As late great Jim Rohn once said at a Herbalife event: ‘Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills’.
