Wim Hof talks about hardest thing he experienced | #AskWim

Welcome back

to Wims questions and answers.

I don't know if I can do that,

but if I don't try

and if I don't say the truth instead of lie,

then I never know if it is going to be good

or bad.

What does success means for me?

To be happy, strong and healthy.

What do you got if you got billions and you're not happy, strong and healthy?

You got zilch.

You got nothing.

If you're a happy, strong and healthy, a healthy man, a happy, strong,

healthy man, I mean happy -

He doesn't go to war, is not into possession.

So successful is being happy, strong and healthy.

Absolutely.

And a little side note, me, I want to change the world

to reach billions of people and make them all able to choose

a guaranteed way

to become happy, strong and healthy.

Yes, that's what I do.

I'm not into indulgent self enlightenment like

''Oh, I'm happy, strong and healthy.

I don't need to do anything anymore.’’

I'm on to make everybody having a choice to be happy,

strong and healthy, that will bless my soul and yours.

That's what I want.

What is my favorite color?

Pink, of course.

You know, pink, pinky,

because flamingos are pink.

And when you see the sunset with pink colors,

it's just amazing.

Pink can be so many shades.

It's beautiful, transparent, and with the sun upon it,

it's amazing.

Pink, give me pink.

Of course, blue also, and green also and yellow also.

But pink...

stands out.

What was the hardest thing I've ever experienced?

That was, of course, the suicide of my wife,

the mother of my four children.

All the tragic descendants

itinerary which led up to ultimately

the darkest of my hours in the her suicide.

That was the hardest.

You can't see it.

You can't feel it. You can't do anything against it.

The helplessness, the hopelessness,

the darkest place there.

That was absolutely the hardest to get out of.

But I had to, and I did, together with my kids.

She's still here, I tell you,

and she will say, ''well done''.

I did it for you.

What energizes me and brings me excitement?

Yeah, that is my little kid,

my beautiful woman.

The loyalty of my dog.

The friendship you give me.

Nature, rocks, palm trees, tropical beaches, life.

All the colors.

Pinky, you know.

All, it all gives me great excitement to rise

every day out of bed and do the best possible.

And it's always successful.

So excitement every day.

I love it. Yeah, I love it.

I love it. I love it.

I'm going to train very soon.

Pull rocks, big rocks

and go - I do a 'ten minuter'.

I call it a 'ten-minuter'.

It's icy water, I go for ten minutes.

Just sit, I could do more, but I'm not.

'Ten minuter' is great.

So excitement every day, to do the best to the top.

And then, man, I got some beloveds here.

I want to embrace them and feel that energy, it's amazing.

And then do some splits with my legs over there and over there.

I don't know. Sometimes I lose them.

Yeah.

So everywhere, you know, you know, make fun,

make fun while you get the best on.

That's what makes me excited every day.

And I will rise up to the best every day.

If you would have to describe your life

through five pictures, what would that be?

One would absolutely be in the cold,

you know, little man huge

scenery of cold in shorts.

That will be absolutely one.

And then one with mountains and one with tropical plants,

palm trees and beautiful scenery.

Exuberance of plants, than one with the family.

Happy, happy, very happy.

And then one with the whole world like

100,000 people at the same time.

Me in front, because that's what I'm going to do next year.

Big events and then breath all together and share the love.

Share the power.

five pictures - done.

Somewhere

over the rainbow

way up high.

There's a land that we heard of

once in a little song.
