It's your talent, dedication, strong character, and discipline. Or maybe you were lucky. The truth is, you will never know what made you be where you are today. Maybe you would like to think a certain way. Give yourself the "right" answer. But the required question is- Does it matter?

Small room, big dream
Small room, big dream. It might be delusional to think big, but it has nothing to do with dreams. You can still dream big, think big, and be big. Bigger than life. Don’t label it, don’t ask if it's normal or not- It has nothing to do with you. Nothing lasts forever anyway, small can turn out big. Just like your dreams.

Empty tears
If you are crying over someone who doesn't care, someone who doesn’t really know you– those are empty tears. Tears being waisted. Not worth your energy nor your high intelligence. Next time, ask yourself if they are empty tears or not. And If they are, wipe them off and smile.

Who you choose to become
It does matter where you grew up, what do you do for a living, or what is your family all about. The only thing that really matters is- who you choose to become.

Live
She is thankful. Thankful even when life is hard. Thankful because "it can always be worse".When will be a time to start thinking differently. Start realizing we don't live for what the neighbors might say or what a "home" should look like. Live because it can all end by tomorrow. Choose You.

Who knew
I walked up the stairs today. Same legs, diffrernt mindset. Back then it was a dream settled with the title "hobby". I remember saying to the young members of the class "I am too old to start now but you should follow your dreams". Who knew I will be brave enough to be who I always wanted to be.

It's a character
Working hard is a character. It doesn’t matter what you do, where you work, or how old you are. It's the way your mind works, the way your life evolves, and your dreams come true.

Smile
You have your schedule. You are excited about your day. You smile. You gave this mission two hours but it took your whole day. It's hard. Hard to not get mad. Hard to not think about the things you haven't done. Hard to put a smile on your face. But that is exactly why you should, smile.

The list is always too long
The list is always too long. There are always things I postpone for tomorrow. It's inevitable- because the list is always too long. I used to get mad at myself, trying to push myself to do them all but I know it doesn't work that way. There will always be things I will not get to learn or accomplish but I am trying to look at what I do. And breath in between.

The world might help you
Doing all the things I never thought I would- Is what makes me smile. It's doing social media even if it feels weird, it's working on your website even if computers are not "your thing". It's focusing on what you have instead of what you don’t. What the world might help you built and not the other way around.

I have it all inside my head
No car?
I will take the bus. No place? I will sit at the library. No matter what, I will
figure it out. Something is not working, I will try something else. I will
get better. Be better. Nothing you are going to take from me is going to stop me.
I have it all inside my head.

Ask better questions
Don’t expect. Don’t expect they will be like you. Don’t expect they will work as much as you do. Don’t expect they would care. It is ok to wonder why not, but judging is unnecessary. It's not going to change anything but wasting your time and energy. Ask yourself better questions, make room for bigger things.

We remember
We remember you. All of you, heroes. We hear about your stories, your values, your smile- and know without you, we wouldn’t be here right now. We need to remember. If they sacrificed their lives for yours- What will you contribute?. Let's start with kindness.

Change
Are you working on what people want to see or what you see? What you think the world is looking for?. It's not going to fix anyone's problem but it might put a smile on your face, it might make you think about creativity and innovation. It might make you think "change" is not a bad word, but the opposite.

Trust
Too many hands are too many problems. This process contains three steps. Three stops until I get to see the final product. Those are the days I get sick. Seeing the first stop mistakes and I can barely breathe. Mistakes that cost time and money. Mistakes that make me second guess. Can I trust others or should I do it all by myself?

Smile
No one is going to put me down, not now when things are starting to move the way I always wanted. It's not you worrying about my relationship status, it is not you telling me what I already know. When I get in the car, driving here. It is all about me, and that smile I have on my face. It's all about me, too.

Mom
She is always there. Standing by my side. Cheering me up when I am down and always there to listen. Sometimes it feels like it's my biggest challenge. To be a good daughter. You can be a great talent, carrying great energy wherever you go but the real question is – are you like that in the most important places, around the most important people. If you do- Then have it all.
Bet on yourself
Will you bet on yourself? Will you invest your money in your future self, knowing you haven’t even started. And if others do, what would it mean to you. Will you work even harder? set your bar even higher?. I know I will not disappoint myself. The question is can I carry the expectations of others?.

I saw it
As a young soldier, I used to imagine myself in a different role. I saw it before it happened. I even saw myself packing my things from the office. I had a big goal, big ambitions, and zero support. A year later, in my dream role, I visited my "old" office, exactly as I planned a year before. Now it happens again. In a different time, with a different dream, and a different me. Lucky me.

Same act, diffrernt mindset
I used to get anxious before going to the fabric shop. They are like family to me, a 5-minute walk and yet that mission was always stressful to me. Yesterday on my way back home I thought it doesn’t feel the same anymore. It is the same act, but a different mindset.

"Growth"
"Growth" was never a word on my vocabulary. Not now, when I haven’t even started. But then it hit and things have changed. The question is are you going to follow the system. Follow the method to get exposure, or follow your first plan. Moving step by step, letting your work lead and not the other way around. I don’t know what is the right answer but I do know- I am always willing to try something else.

Friendship
She called me to share some good news. Her good news. Not to ask for a favor or advice, but to share her happiness. I was so happy for both of us. Thinking how lucky I am to get that call. Remembring what friendship is all about.

No tears
I have learned to cry with no tears. When you tell me it's not going to work, that I shouldn’t even try- I will think about it. I would probably try to make myself laugh on my way back to the studio, to think about something else but it will hurt. Getting out of the bathroom I saw it, a top I made yesterday on the mannequin. And I smiled. Nothing is going to stop me.
