Day 021

 Dear dreamer, 

Aftermath

...Resting was definitely a good idea. I was worried actually because resting can become long hours of no productivity because our bodies succumb easily to resting which is disguised as giving up. We'll have to keep waking ourselves if we are going to stay awake at all. This time, resting was a good idea because I was less worried about flopping any of my current plans because I was preparing others and I had faith, renewed faith that it's not going to end up as badly as I sometimes felt.

Rest time is up though. Now, I am getting back to work. More work, more learning, greater speed , better everything. I only get this one chance to do this and I would definitely do it. I was considering other alternatives that were not necessarily products. I was looking more at my immediate environment and wondering what other options were available. At first, I wondered if what I was doing was not doing more harm than good but the moment I realised I had absolutely nothing to lose..I could care less. Time? Maybe I would lose a little bit of time but it would all be useless all the same if I did not try.

It's good to focus, in fact, focus on one thing at once is one of the best advice you could ever get but in the course of one thing, if you find yourself advancing into other things, you just have to focus on that new path because it does not change purpose or meaning, it will all align at some point. On that note, alternatives have been developed, more details as time advances and lets us unfold all our cards. Till then, keep playing.

Day 001

Dear dreamer, Thoughts and more Thoughts... This is not your typical 'my life story'- only it possesses elements of it. The most daring thing about this is that I am just going with the flow (whatever that means) . I know not what the end will be, only dare hope it is good just like I think. Everyone always say "Dream" and it is only so hard to do so. They never tell you about the hopelessness in dreaming when you are penniless- which is the initial state of every dreamer. They do not want to discourage you so they omit it from every literature or maybe it is just difficult to describe which is what I want to describe so you can almost feel it... For any dreamer who is a vast reader and learner, the best way to start is to borrow wisdom from from great writers and people who have trailed this path before. From all I could gather, one stood painfully practical; 'Do not focus on what you do not have...but what you need  and find your way to it using what you have...

Day 002

Dear dreamer,  Questions...lots of questions Lethargy...I could literally feel it like a gentle caress lulling me back to comfort-very deceptively destructive state. I started the long, arduous process of shaking it off simply because I have this one chance to live my dreams and I won't screw it up as far as it is up to me.  I started the day wondering if my ideas were good. There were a lot of questions;  Can I pull it off?  I might need help so I called out to my close confidant. I read about something called a kitchen cabinet- it is a couple of people that are literally your guide rails. They keep you accountable, you can ask them questions about anything. Well, they are supposed to be comforting enough yet honest to call you up on your faults without mincing words. I started building mine then so I reached out to the one who I can say is the chief of my cabinet. I ran the ideas by him, he did not have much of an opinion just a lot of questions about the idea and ...

Day 004

  Dear dreamer,  Life Of A Penniless Dreamer I don't know about others but being idle makes me so uncomfortable. Like, I must always be doing something valuable, meaningful, something that is felt but, as it was, I was just waking up in the past few days to nothing but absolute emptiness. Of course, I did some mundane chore but it moved nothing so I was dissatisfied and wondering what exactly I could do- something effortless enough but impactful. Not like I did not have things to do, in fact I had deadlines to meet but I was in low spirits so I had no motivation nor intention and I have learnt to not force some things. Quality dwindles. Poor quality with so much effort. There is something I do from time to time, no fixed time frame but I just organise it as it feels. It's a self-reflection exercise. During the exercise, I just simply review all of my plans and see how much progress I made- sometimes it is depressing, other times it lifts my spirit. It's just to make sure I ...
