This is me, Tim Van Tittelboom. Born in Antwerp
on July 19, 1979.
born as an accident of two very young parents.
this is my mom, she was 19 at my birth
and there's my dad, he was only 20
my mum and dad had very different plans
but I'm sure that there was a lot of love for me
and attention.
I was 2 years
and there is my sister Karen
There was certainly no question of an accident.
After some time, there was much sorrow
because Karen is deaf.
Most attention was from that moment for my sister.
I was only two years but realized what really happened
in one way or another, I made sure
no one would care for me
2.5 years old, my first day of school.
I stood in the morning exemplary on the doormat
with my coat
and my backpack without mom telling what to do.
since childhood I had a tremendous will to live.
My grandmother once told me
that I had fallen down the stairs,
she asked me why are you crying, where did you get hurt?
I replied: "I wanted to be upstairs!".
Almost 6 years old
and there's my brother Roel.
was he also an accident or
was he the one needed to save the relationship of my parents.
some months later, they divorced.
This was clearly not the life that my dad had in mind
and he's gone off with someone else.
Now was there for me no more attention.
Big Tim'll be fine.
I was no longer a child, I took along for the household.
All I did was just so normal or not good enough.
I went regularly sneak into my room to cry.
Sometimes I ran away from home and threatened me with suicide.
To get attention
At sixteen
I started working in weekends and holidays
to have a much more independent life
and to save a lot of money.
even during my studies my girlfriend and I bought a house.
to get as soon as possible on my own two feet.
after 6 months
after 6 months of living together, I realized
that I did not want a life like this
because I did not want to follow the example my parents gave me.
left my home and ended the relationship of 8 year
I fell down real deep
I kept myself strong for the outside world but more and more
I was the Tim that I really don't want to be.
Everything was negative in my head,
drew attention in a negative way and if anything was positive
then I asphyxiate everything and everyone.
Thus several relationships faltered.
then there was my stepbrother.
who said: "Tim, stop, it can not continue this way,
you need help!"
He sent me to a psychologist called Magda
I told her that I so much wanted peace in my head
Magda listened to my stories
and came beside me.
For 30 minutes we just breathed in and out.
than I experienced for the first time
peace in my head. I felt free.
I can finally live.
Afterwards, I spoke Magda one time again.
because I had the key to my own blocked life.
It was not easy,
I came much against walls, walls of things I had to learn.
at times great emotion and many tears.
but as a first step, I contacted my father.
with the hope
that he will become more than my biological father only.
but my dad and my best friend.
At my new job I got after 6 months my resignation.
But I was glad, I saw it as a gift, as an opportunity to travel.
a discovery to myself and the world.
I really enjoyed,
I lived so aware.
I realized that who I am and what I do,
directly affects what I receive from life..
I am cheerful positive, I attract only nice people and nice things.
If my thoughts stayed in my head than I did
the Magda breathing.
After 3 months time I returned
earlier than I thought
back home but it was good
Back home I started
a company in air purifying bulbs
and clearly had something very important to learn
perhaps one of the most important things in our lives
to learn that I had a switch on - off relationship
she asked me time and time again when the relationship switched off "why do you
always run away when I'm kind"
and I can run like the best
One day it was over again
and I had a serious car accident
the material damage
larger than the physical damage, but when I got my on-off love on the phone
I experienced for the first time what love was all about.
sincerely interested,
genuinely concerned.
The tears rolled richly because
of the happiness I felt.
For 2 months I have been working intensively on understanding love.
Learned to love to love.
Some time later, I swithed off the relationship permanently.
I am eternally grateful!
On a certain day there was some information on my desk about
a personal development course op Curaçao.
€ 3500 euro was not the amount of money that I had on my bank account.
I invested all in my first start up and
lived from € 500 per month.
I stopped and looked back at my life
and realized for the first time in my life
"In the end, everything will be alright".
My life proves this.
"In the end, everything will be alright"if you have the trust,
the believe
with a balance of giving and receiving
and if you have the desire to learn and grow.
I have registered myself, and I trusted that I would have the money, the moment
I needed to pay.
Everything worked out.
Because of my car accident,
I got a lot more money than expected.
and there I was on Curacao.
Since then I really live the words:
"Everything will always become alright".
I'm so happy
Unique is the fact that
I don't need anybody to be happy.
I have no relationship
but I'm happy.
I love myself!
the course was one a big party for me.
I realized that I am doing well with my life. On the last day
I met Vivienne.
We already said hi and hello but now she really got my attention.
with the help of Hurricane Felix
Vivienne and I have discovered each other
The beginning of a special journey because
6 months later I moved to the Netherlands for the love of my life.
Soon I realized that it was not ideal living in the Netherlands,
having a company in Belgium and
a distributor in the Netherlands.
So I decided to sell my business to my Dutch distributor.
After a few months for myself, working in house and garden
I started a new company Mynobellife (later named CompanyLife)
From that moment I lived with my mind and heart my feelings.
I asked Vivienne
to become my fiance and we got married on July 4, 2009
I do my best to see everything in life like a gift.
I live and learn my dreams every day!
