You are not “sick”, you are scared. You are not “burned out”, you haven’t even started. You are in the excuse zone. Trying to find excuses why you are not ready yet. But you already know how it works. You will feel that way until the day, you start.

You didn’t lose anything, you just didn’t win.
No one promised you life will be a fair game. You lost and now it hurts. Not a little, a lot. But maybe you should look at it from another perspective. You had a chance to win, and you didn’t. It doesn’t matter if the law is on your side. You didn’t lose anything, you just didn’t win.

The woman who changed my life for the better.
Sometimes I think about her. The woman who changed my life for the better. She left a message on Facebook saying: “if you want to know how to make clothes, that is the place for you”. I don’t know her, but the next day I was there. Maybe one day I will find her. Maybe one day I will be able to thank her for changing my life for the better.

What will you do about it tomorrow?
Adjusting to a new reality. Something it's not fair, sometimes it hurts, sometimes all you want is to go back to "normal”. But now this is "the normal". And going back is not an option. You can cry, you can dream about the past but the only thing you need to ask yourself is- What will you do about it tomorrow?

Don't be afraid of the "unusual"
It hits you from time to time, doubt. Usually on days when you are not doing the "usual". The ironic thing is the "unusual" is what exposes you to other perspectives, to new ideas. Don't be afraid of the "unusual" even though it comes with "the other" feelings.

Disappointment
I am not scared of failure. I am scared I will disappoint you. You wouldn’t like it. It doesn’t fit you as well as it should. You don’t feel as strong and beautiful as you thought you would. You will return it and tell everyone your story. That is what scares me the most. But it will happen. One day. No matter what. It's time for the next chapter.

It’s all goes like this.
It’s all goes like this. You commit. You follow your list. And repeat. No questions, no discussions. This is how scary things become unscary, how the unusual become usual. And you evolve. You change. You look at the world with different eyes. The way it should be.

Face it.
There are things you will not accomplish today. Face it. You can't do everything on your list. Your list is always too long. It doesn't mean you failed, it only means you are human. There are people who can work for three days in a row with no sleep or drink five cups of coffee and work as usual. It's not you. Face it. Adjust and move on. Being mad or punishing yourself is not going to fix it.

Don’t worry.
Don’t you
worry. A bad day is not a bad week. A moment of doubt doesn't impact your tomorrow.
Make your now pleasant, breath even if it seems like you can't. You were here once. And the only person who helped
you was you.

Are you able to think? Then you have everything.
When you go to bed at night, are you cold? Are you able to think? Then you have everything. Don't you lose that mindset. Don't you lose that feeling of appreciation. That feeling of gratitude. Knowing nothing should be taken for granted.

Set a date.
Why is it
so hard? To set a date. To say it out loud, “it’s not only a hobby- It’s my job”. To say "it’s not only for pleasure- It’s also a business". I know exactly what the problem is, but
nothing will make it go away- except, doing it anyway.

Hope for a better tomorrow
Sometimes you can’t do anything but wait. Wait for a better tomorrow. It doesn’t mean you are a bad person. It doesn’t mean you don’t care, or you've failed. Sometimes you just can't do anything except hope for a better tomorrow.

Good people.
She didn't know I could hear her over the phone. And she was perfect. An angel. I am sure she is like that in every aspect of her life. She's kind. She doesn't care if you tell her "good job" or not because she is giving her best. She's following "Care more. Give more". And I wish you the best angel, forever.

A better version of you.
You can put out your best work. Your time and effort and still not make it. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes you are caught up in the question “why?”. The only right answer is “try harder next time” not for the win, but for a better version of you.

Are you choosing the right things?
I always feel I can do more. I can always take another step, another mission to mark off my list, another lesson to learn. The thing is, it’s a never-ending list. Life is a list. But you should ask yourself, are you choosing the right things.

That is my wealth.
Nothing here is fancy. I am working in my small room, drinking my tea, feeling cozy with my childhood blanket. Nothing here is fancy except my brain. My ideas, my skills, my enthusiastic character- Is what brings me joy. That is my wealth. Not the physical things around me.

There is no "doing it for nothing".
Winning is not guaranteed. Nothing is. But if you take the first step. You commit to giving it "your best" you will gain something. A lesson, A smile. There is no "doing it for nothing". There is always something we get to learn. You just need to flip it.

The right people.
People.
People will get you out of it. People will give you some hope. They will put
a smile on your face. They will be there to cheer you up when you are down. Not
all people, but the right one.

Better tomorrow
You don’t know when it’s going to hit you. When you will replace the smile with tears. When will gratitude transform to fear. Those moments of uncertainty hurt the most. When people you love are hurt. There is no “way?”, there is no solution but to expect a better tomorrow.

You got this.
I am hiding. Hiding behind the numbers, hiding behind my sewing machine. Hiding from people I love. Hiding for no reason. You did it all by yourself. You should be proud. You should smile and walk with your head up high. You should take the next step now. There is nothing to hide from. You got this.

Not everything, something.
Not everything, something. Something you think is important. Something with meaning. A comment, a statment, a story. Maybe it will cheer someone up. Maybe it will make someone smile, maybe they would look forward to a better tomorrow, just like you do.

You made a commitment. You better stick to it.
I will open my store on my birthday. I don't need that "special day" for the occasion but that's the story I tell myself. That is for the scared me who's looking for another excuse not to start shipping the work. It’s not going to be easy but postponing it, will not make it easier. You have a date now. You made a commitment. You better stick to it.

Gifts with no price tag.
You don’t always have to look them outside your circle. Sometimes they are in front of you. Your heroes. Like you are right now. My hero, my little brother. I get to learn from you, I get to laugh with you and watch you succeed. Those gifts have no price tag. And if you have them, you have everything.

Set a date.
Set a date. Pick a number, and say it out loud. You are shipping your work from that day forward. From that day it’s not a dream nor a hobby, it’s your work. Your responsibility. Whether you "feel like it" or not. And the sooner the better.

Feeling ready
I can’t get myself to do that jump. I can't get myself to send that email. Telling them, I am ready to ship my work. I don’t feel ready. The question is, will you ever feel ready? Will you ever feel today is good to start shipping your work? Probably not.
