A dream in a box.

It’s in a box, two steps away from my bed. It’s a little bigger than a shoebox and one of my greatest ideas is in it. It took me a year to get that “perfect box” but it’s here now- And I smile. I don’t know how to “ship” this idea to you yet but maybe thinking about the next step forward is good enough for now.

Don't.

Don't say "promise" when you don't have a plan. Don't say "coming soon" when you don't know exactly when. Don't say you don't need help when you do. You already know the correct answers, don't try to trick your brain otherwise. You are better than that.

It will all be clear soon.

Remember those days when you couldn't get up but still manage to find a way, those days when your body betray you but your mind stayed strong. Remember that blurry view from your small working space, it will all be clear soon.

You better step it up.

They want to buy and I have nothing to sell. I will keep on sitting at my small table, looking outside the dirty window, and smile. But this is not real life. Wake up. This is just a story you keep trying to convince yourself is important. This is no hobby, you better step it up.

“We love you and your work”

They say “we love you and your work” and I feel like I don’t deserve it. Can I call it my work if I am not getting paid yet?. Can I call it my work if I get to do it every day?. The one thing I know for sure is that's definitely my calling.

You better have a plan.

You better have a plan because everything will stay the same if you don’t. A plan with a date, a plan with some strategy, a doable schedule. Go with your guts, but don’t forget the important things you are “saving” for later. Start there.

“I don’t have time”

Don’t say it. You know it’s not true. “I don’t have time” is not a proper answer, it’s an excuse. You make time. You have a long list of “why you shouldn't” but if you take a closer look you can tell, you are just scared. The only way to overcome is to enter the zone. And the sooner the better.

"Now what?"

"Now what?" is a dangerous question. It's not a race, it's life. You get up, you do the best you can. You keep your head held high and master the skill of overcoming. And don't forget to look at the sky and smile.

Nothing happens overnight.

There is always “another thing”. Another opportunity to “make it. Another feature that can “spread the word”. Make sure you know nothing is  “two minutes”. If you make that choice, it's a commitment. Nothing happens overnight.

Inside my head

I haven’t won any price, or dressed any clients, and yet I have that speech inside my head. A speech of gratitude. Speech about dreams, about overcoming, about life. One day I will get to share it with you but until then I know, inside my head, I know I already won. 

Monday, March 21, 2022

Do it now for the "later".

Can you do things now for the “later”? Can you make a choice today for your future self? The answer is very simple. Did you build your business overnight? And what about your skills?. Do it now for the “later”, you are already doing it anyway.

Overcoming is the real game.

Past events belong to the past. No matter if you had a "bad feeling" about it or not. If it already happened, it belongs to the past. What's done is done. Life is full of risks. Everything you do and don't do is a risk. But overcoming is the real game.

You are not alone anymore.

It’s not for everyone, it’s for one. One of you out there, who needs to hear it. Who needs to know he can do it even if he can’t “see it”. It’s for you who feel embarrassed for not having it "all figured out". Who feels alone in the world. It’s me telling you, you are not alone anymore.

Don’t fall into the trap.

When I am not in the mood I am quiet. The schedule stays the same, even though I don't feel I am really "there". I know those days are tests. How well can you perform in them is an indication of how far will I go. Don’t fall into the trap. Keep going.

Read it. Out load.

I have it all written down. My life in the past two years. It’s all In here. Every dilemma, every "headache", every sign of hope. But to read it out loud is a whole different story. Remembering it's not how you say it, it’s what you say. And I know you need to hear this story.

A better tomorrow.

"The way it was before”. I kept telling myself that sentence over and over again. The problem is, we can never go back. And things will never be the same. The only thing we can do is hope for a better tomorrow. 

Monday, March 14, 2022

That's the goal.

You will get that first-order one day. You will get that call who will change your life. and that article you dreamt about. Even if things haven't changed on the outside, I am a whole different person on the outside. 1 % better every day. That's the goal.

The sooner the better.

How do you make that leap? How do you transform views into customers? How do you trust someone to do their best work the way you do? I don’t have answers yet. I just know I will have to figure it out now. And the sooner the better. 

Saturday, March 12, 2022

You will miss it.

You will miss it. Those days when you were here in the quiet by yourself. You will miss that table and all the things here you call “your own”. Change is never easy but necessary. Nothing last forever anyway. keep going. 

Friday, March 11, 2022

Pay attention.

I always tell myself “I have it all inside my head” but what about your body?. What about those days you want to get up but you can't. Not because your mind doesn’t want to but because your body can’t move. You better pay attention.

Today.

I looked at the sky and smiled. It’s been a long journey and now I get to see it. To see it all. How my dreams become my reality. Today I didn’t think about tomorrow I just looked at the sky and smiled.

Tuesday, March 8, 2022

Do something.

You don’t like it there? Do something. Do you need quiet to think? Then do something. Telling the same story over and over again is not going to help you. But action will. Jump now for a better tomorrow.

Monday, March 7, 2022

I want to do it all.

I want to do it all. I want to design whatever is inside my head. I want to learn every new design program and give you the best customer service. I want to do it all. I know I can't do it all but it feels so much better to believe I can.

Wall of fame

I have a wall. Wall of fame. I see it when I go to bed. It’s the trophy of hard work and dedication. It's all the weekends I invested learning, all the errors I have made and kept going, it’s all the people who said “no” and pushed me even harder. You can enjoy it. It’s all YOU.

Saturday, March 5, 2022

We are in the “doing” department.

Thinking “what if I can’t do it any better than that?” is not the narrative here. You sit down and work. Sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's not. You keep your eyes and ears open and you try again. We are in the “doing” department all the rest is irrelevant.

For people who care.

Now is the time to make the next move. To stop hiding behind the clothes. Not because you have to, but because you should. Not only for you but for them. People who care.

A list.

She had a list. A list of all the “right” people. People who she trusts, who will help her turn her dreams into a reality. One day I will have that list. It doesn’t happen overnight. But one day I will get there.

Decisions.

Decisions. That is the name of the game. Not thinking about it. Not "having a great idea". But what is your next move? It’s not easy to not make them. But only if you do- You are in the game.

Overcome.

He said I may fall before I will “make it”. That most people can’t skip that part. I know I will fall one day, I know tears will come my way but I also know, I have enough tools to overcome.
