Day 055

 Dear dreamer,

Keep Finding Ways

Don't ever stand still. Always move even when you are not sure of the direction to take. I was thinking of ways to do this better after all, I only get this chance to live my dreams. I want to do as much right things and reduce my energy waste. Of course this means checking the internet and I usually end up reading a number of articles, maybe watch a few videos or even discovering a new book. Currently, I have three books that I am not done reading so no more for now. I can add to my library though

I have few days to the first product 2 evaluation and good news is that I am right on track and I was proud of myself for coming this far even with everything going on. I deserve a pat on the back for it. Surprisingly, finding new ways has led me to learn marketing methods, a must learn no matter the field you are. This is something I never tried to learn- pure oversight. It is quite easy to underestimate how much knowledge of a field that you lack when you are ignorant. The ignorance that comes with being clueless. 

In my search for new ways, I learnt that at the starting stage, the best bet is to work at a job that you are either willing to work hard at to become very good. In other words, learn a new skill that is comfortable with you or find a job that suits your current skill to ease your life a little because you have to work extremely hard and nothing makes working hard tougher than struggling at it. Move with the flow. This is why I am hell-bent on rewriting my job contract. My job requires interacting with people a lot especially strangers, something I'm very terrible at.

Keep finding and fighting little soldier

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 ...
