Day 099

Dear dreamer,

Time flies

With time, a lot of things happen. We tend to evolve with things we experience. That's why I always tell people to pay attention to our experience. Somehow, they shape us for the rest of our lives. They affect the way we view the remainder of our life and experience. We grow whether in tough situation or in ease. 

There is one vital part of evolving though; it is the fact that we become more shameless and more down-to-earth. Prior to now, I was always conscious about a lot of things. I seem to be less concerned about things. If anyone ever told me, I would be ready to talk to different people trying to get something I want but seems to be beyond just me. Anything that would involve me talking about myself or my dreams or aspirations or challenges always makes me squirm. It would send me running off in the opposite direction. 

But, I have begun to realise that my problems has nothing to do with the noise in my environment. I am the only one that understands what my issues are day to day and others have absolutely no right to judge me because they know very little about me. I also have begun to care less about those things because they simply do not matter. I have no business with someone thinks of me. It means nothing to me. 

This is your one chance to do something for yourself, I don't think public opinion should really matter that much to you. Square in on your problems, no one really cares how much or less they are. All they truly seek is to see if you can be of help to them or not so pay no serious attention to them

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 ...
