"Raw"

Everything you feel was pulled out from a drawer. We are thinking X about Y because we saw, heard, read about it. We rarely get things “raw”. Who knows if "raw" even exists. You can’t avoid those drawers but knowing they exist is a big step forward.

Be happy now.

Don’t wait. Don’t wait to be happy. Be happy now. No big announcement, event, or money needs to occur for you to be happy. That bag you're carrying on your shoulders will always be there anyway. Sometimes heavier than before. Don’t hang your happiness on something. Be happy now.

You need a different story

You need a different story. A sad story is not going to help you. But a story about overcoming your fears and following your dreams will. Don’t let those “peanuts” disrupt your mindset flow. You didn't come this far- for nothing.

Lesson

Maybe there is a lesson to learn from it. But I keep asking “why that big of a lesson”?. Couldn’t it be a small lesson that would have taught me the same?. I guess we don’t get to chose them. Our lessons. But at least make it count.

You haven’t even started yet.

They say your saddest days will come when you will be "out there". Under a critique eye. I feel like hearing people say that, makes me experience it in advance. After all, "they all feel burnout at some point ". No lady, don’t look for a reason to hide- You haven’t even started yet.

Sending those messages to myself

“Good job” or “I am proud of you”. Sometimes I feel like I need to hear it from someone. Someone I love. Someone who understands the sacrifice, the hard work, and the daily routine. One day, I know- You will be there. Sending my heart emoji in the middle of the day telling me “I already made it” but until then- I am sending those messages to myself. I deserve it.

Excuses

You already know those tears don’t mean anything. They are just an excuse to slow down. To tell yourself “you can do the rest tomorrow”. Remember who made you cry, acknowledge it’s your fault for crying over it and move on. We don’t have time for excuses anyway.

Smart.

Smart. It was never my title. No one has ever said it to me as a child, and I never said it to myself either. I had the best grades growing up and yet I never thought I was smart. Now I know smart has nothing to do with my degrees, my profession, or my status- But has a lot to do with all the rest.

Lost.

Lost. It was all in one big bag. Everything. Every design I have ever made in the past 6 months. It hurts so much I can't even think clearly. It’s a wasting of time, energy, and tears. Things I could spare myself if I was more organized and focused. Now let's hope it's only a lesson.

Story about LOVE

I Need to thank you for giving me a glimpse of what I want. You asked about love and I had no answers. I guess I don’t really know what love is. After all, I am running away from it. I said loneliness, family, children but I didn’t say love. One day, I will have a beautiful story to tell. A story about love.

Happy.

You can get exciting when you did well. You can laugh without thinking you are getting "too excited". You can be happy without explaining to yourself why you need to stay in your lane. Do them both. Be happy, enjoy the moment and keep on working. You deserve it.

The only answer that matters is yours.

I am looking for someone to tell me my instincts were right. But it’s like waiting for an email, a miracle, or someone to sign a contract saying it’s going to succeed. It's the easy way. Waiting. It doesn’t matter whose answer are you looking for, what's his profession or expertise the only answer that matters is yours.

"For what?"

For what? When you're working, investing your time and effort on your ideas, do you ask yourself “for what”?. When you build your business, why are you doing it for? When you are here now, failing, can you see why are you doing it anyway? What is your “for what?”.

Investing in a "better" You.

You don’t have to but maybe you should. It's not really "investing your money in walls". It’s investing your money in better thinking, higher productivity, and your mental health. Those things are more valuable than anything. It's investing in a "better" You. Do it.

It is all inside your head.

25 hours straight with no food, drink, or voices from the outside world. Only your own. It was a range of all kinds of feelings and emotions. It was sad and happy. Exciting and scary, comfort and anger. In a matter of seconds, I could switch from one to another. Proving- It is all inside your head.

Wednesday, September 15, 2021

You.

You have all the important things. A clear vision, a growth mindset, learning capability, and relentless enthusiasm. Don’t let anything come your way. Remember, the only one who gets to decide- Is you. 

Tuesday, September 14, 2021

Just don't.

Don’t do another bodysuit. Don’t invest your time in another "viral" leggings or make another logo draft. Enough. You are running. There will always be an important email you are waiting for, a solution you haven’t figured out yet, and a "wired" feeling. Don’t run. You have been running for a while now.

"Better" card

It's not a movie. It's real life. Most likely I will not find him on the streets on his way home from the gym. The possibilities are low, I only have 50 steps to my car every day. It's not like I have 5,000 steps. If I did, my chances were higher but still not guaranteed. I can't wait forever- choosing and committing is what's life is all about. There is always a chance you will miss a "better" card.

The "miracle"

Maybe it was the miracle you have been asking for. An example of what a meaningful conversation looks like. I can't tell you exactly what it was that made me feel this way. It might be the title, the skills nor the confidence- but it doesn’t matter. Now I know, it exists. An interaction that makes you feel in a "dream" when you are in reality.

"Real"

Maybe being Chely 2.0 for a while, will do you good. She's brave enough to do all the things you are too scared of. She knows it's not going to be easy, but she is willing to take that chance. Even if it's not "real", if you believe it- That's what counts.

Getting up again

You don't need to review it again, you don't need the packaging to match the color of the shirt nor to choose "the perfect" date for the opening. You "just" need to take a leap of faith. Mistakes will follow no matter how well prepared you were. Getting up again is what's this game is all about.

"Easy" was never been part of the equation anyway

How can you prevent that low segment in your carve? You can learn about other businesses, you can prepare a risk management portfolio, or imagine how you would feel and act when it happens- but none of these will prepare you for the actual moment. Don’t get too caught up in it. Just remember "easy" was never been part of the equation anyway.

Give it some time

Time. Give it some time. Next week it would all look and feel different. You got distracts, so what? You shed a few tears- Conglutination, I guess you are not a robot after all. Don't you know that's the fun part, knowing we can't predict what's next. 

Tuesday, September 7, 2021

You can.

You can cry with no reason, you can take a break and daydream for a while, you can skip a few things from your "list" without being angry at yourself. Maybe great things will follow. Breath.

Happiness

It doesn’t happen every day, but when it does you would feel it in every part of your body. You can't predict it or guess how long it will last. But when it happens- You will get a sense of what pure happiness is all about.

Sunday, September 5, 2021

Good for you.

You have learned. You have learned how to focus even though your hands are full, how to mute distracting thoughts, and mind your own business. Now you know what is the recipe for peace of mind. Good for you.

"Feel like it"

If you "feel like it" or not. When you wake up, follow your list. Start with one step after another. No discussion. No questions to be answered. That is a good recipe for a good day. At least for me.

My new "noraml"

New room, new walls, new feelings. I left my old room without looking back, without any feelings. Wondering if it's normal. I entered my new room the same way, thinking who is the one to decide what's "normal" anyway.

"Out of the box"

Don’t run. No one promised it will be easy. There will always be things you are scared of. Those parts are the best parts. It means you are learning, it means you are changing, it means you are on your way there. To a great place called "out of the box".
