Maybe there is no “best way”

On Saturdays, I am trying to plan my weekly schedule hoping I will not waste any time making those decisions during the week. Just implementing. When trying to build my schedule, make it more productive, more organized, more efficient – I get overwhelmed. Maybe there is no “best way”. Maybe there are a few "best ways". Going through those options doesn’t promise you anything. Mistakes will come in every one of them. Decide and follow along.

Become better

Did you learn something new this week, something you didn’t know last week?. Did you do something that scares you? Did you manage to figure out how to solve a problem? To overcome a bad vibe?. Maybe you handled a conflict with confidence and grace? If you did, even one them. You did good. That is how you become better.

Maybe it is. Keep going

And now there are three. A year ago I bought my first roll of fabric. He was sitting next to me in my car and I was so emotional. For sticking to what I believe in, for making a decision and committing to it. For betting on myself. Today I drove to work with three. It doesn’t mean anything yet, I know. But maybe it is. Keep going.

Look up

It is raining right now, I am on the third floor next to a big window. My designs are spread on my favorite table and it is quiet. No one is here yet. I have my ice coffee in my hand, and I can see my car enjoying his free car wash by nurture.  I guess you don’t need much to be happy. look up. Look outside. Sometimes that is all we need to be happy.

Wherever you go, they will follow

I am capable of making that design not because I have a big table at work. Stepping out of my house door in the morning doesn't mean I am more productive. Having a workplace addressee doesn’t mean you actually work. My mind, my soul, my spirit, my enthusiastic personality, my happiness. Those are the things that matter most. Wherever you go, they will follow. Don't let anything break you.

Change your path

They don’t answer. No deadline is being promised nor a proper explanation. When I started this journey, I wanted everything to be local. I wanted to feel the fabrics with my own hands, to choose the right people to work with, be involved in the process from start to finish. The other alternative is focusing on the design, send it via excel sheet to a place far away from here, and get the final product. I want it to be good. I want my customer to know he got the best I could give him. Even if it means I need to change my path.

Breath, nothing stays the same.

Sometimes I feel like I need to be the old version of me. The new me is a little bolder, says what she thinks, and doesn’t like everybody. Why does it feel like it's wrong? We grow up, we change, we involve- who says we need to stay the same. Breath, nothing stays the same.
