"We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes due to forces beyond our control. When we learn what it is our soul needs to learn, the path presents itself.” - Cecelia Ahern These days have been both confusing and clarifying. Matters of life, love and the choices we make without knowing where they shall take us. Something about ‘trusting the process’ and seeing where this all will go. Gratitude to the kind souls around me, you make this journey both bearable and fun. (at Van Baerlestraat Amsterdam)

Last week I was invited by Jolita Berkhof, and given the opportunity, to host a session for more than 50 physicians, clinical educators, residents, educators and nurses at the @isalaziekenhuis on Healthcare Leadership & Compassion. The goal was to figure out what are individual and collective important topics, reasons and motivations for doing the work that you do, learning from and sharing with each other, and finding out how you as an individual would like to change something small or big within the organisation and/or culture. Together with Janwillem van den Berg we have been working on this for the past year,m. We had figured out a very cool, interactive and fun way to get institutes, and the people therein, to practically work on leadership and figure out how to create tangible actions that can have a positive influence within the working environment and ones surroundings. These sessions give me hope in realising that despite the frustration that exists in healthcare, there is that same energy that can be used to do something positive and constructive. It has been great to help in this process and be able to see how people are creating a visible shiftnaround them. (at Isala Ziekenhuis Zwolle)

Nothing but gratitude and joy when seeing us all together like this. This is the IFMSA Alumni 2017 meet up in Amsterdam, Netherlands summarised in one picture. A wonderful informal meet up of people once active within an association which changed most of our lives. It was an honour and joy to host you in my home town, and most of all have the opportunity to reconnect with all you beautiful souls again and some to be able to meet for the first time. Thank you @lclohmd for kick starting this thing again, it was a blast to see this all come together and work together on something so special. Thanks to the locations @cafe_de_ceuvel and @deebeling for hosting us and taking such good care of us on Friday & Saturday evening, and not to mention the abundance of food that was served. This can only happen because of everyone taking out their time and energy, organising their lives and finding a way to make this happen. Have a great time for those spending their time here and safe travels to everyone making their way back. That wraps up 2017, with 2018 around the corner and new plans :) (at De Ebeling)

"Positive thinking is not about expecting the best to happen every time but accepting that whatever happens is the best for this moment." - Author Unknown View from the top of the Waternet headquarters- having a day working on the meaning of clean water together with the empowering society.

About last night... Hanging out with my cousins & getting to know different parts of Lahore/Pakistan, whilst having good old fun and banter amongst each other. (at Nishat Hotel)

Watching the sunrise over the canals of Amsterdam on this early Sunday morning. A feeling that lingers in my stomach and an excitement that is coursing through my veins moments before flying. Going back to the land where my parents originated from after so many years and after a lot has happened in my life. [posted a longer piece on Facebook on what this journey means to me now) (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Good morning September (at Vondelgym)

Leaving Helsinki after an intense wonderful week here. I have a feeling I'll be back sometime in the future with so much more to explore of the city and surroundings. Grateful for the people I (re)connected with, working with the incredible "AMEE Creative Engagement Team" and being able to link with like the spirited ones that have the same drive and passions as I do to Change Healthcare . . . . #AMEE2017 #meded (at Helsinki Airport)

Our beautiful earth 🌏 The bright blue sky, the clouds, the land and sea below and here I am, in this ridiculously massive metal container, as if a miracle itself, shooting through the sky at hundreds of miles an hour whilst being able to look outside and marvel at the sights. Every time I fly I can feel like a child all over again.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." - Lao Tsu This time it is her that is flying off: a two two week break to Indonesia. The last period have been quite the intense ones, amongst which I have grown to further appreciate what love and freedom really mean and the implications they have on my life and a life together. And yeh... I miss her already. And as inseparable as we can sometimes feel, I know moments like this are needed too. Dependency isn't something that is sustainable or healthy. It is not about being two halves that complete each other, but two wholes, independent as individuals, that can compliment each other and help each other grow. ❤️ (at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol)

Spending the day at @makerversityams with colleague @evahelmond (I apparently have my "this is interesting" facial expression on 🤔) #Repost @betterfutureon ・・・ Organizing your inspiration is what BFs @salmaansana and @evahelmond are doing at @makerversity in Amsterdam.
