If you did not come here through Zen Habits: I have a guest post there today, go check it out!
If you did come from Zen Habits: Welcome to How to be an Original! My name is Lodewijk van den Broek and I’m the blogger of this place. In this short post I want to show you what you can find around here, just to get you started.
To describe How to be an Original in a nutshell: it’s about discovering who you are, deciding what you want from life and about learning how to get it. Now I don’t know all the answers to those questions as well, but I have quite some ideas and I’m experimenting with a lot of concepts. So this blog is as much about teaching and sharing as it is about learning. One of the features for instance is a weekly review post, in which I review my goals (among other things). If you check those reviews you will find that I learned a lot, because I made quite some mistakes.
For a tour of popular posts, you can check the popular posts section in the sidebar, or scroll all the way down and look through the popular posts menu there. In case you want to learn more about me (where my name comes from for instance), check the About page or leave me a message through the Contact page.

Have fun!
You can be an Original too!

Hello,
I’m actuallly already a subscriber of How to Be an Original and I also subscribe to ZH. I was pleasantly surprised to see your article up there, but it was great! Keep up the good work and I hope you get many new readers from Leo’s site.

You have an amazing ability to continue seeing positives in life, even though lately, what with the two thefts and the abuse of your blog by a spammer, you have had several difficulties.
I think that is a real gift, and one which not everyone has.
I read your site, and Leo’s site, several times a week. They are among my favorites.
Regards

Hi Lodewijk,
Like Ann I subscribe to ZH & HTBAO. In fact, I learned of your ZH through this blog not Leo’s. I’ll zip over now to check it out, and congrats on that subscriber count.

I don’t remember how I got your site, but it wasn’t through Zen Habits, anyway, what I did is that I saved your URL on my favorites and I always come here and read what you write, your blogs are nice but it just keep me getting curious and wonder about how much of your goals you will do during the week!, I like the review you do,
Thank you very much,
Regards.
