The best feeling is…

As kids, we tend to dream of doing incredible things when growing up.  Being real-life heroes like doctors, policemen, and firefighters.  Making history like great men of science or incredible athletes. Then. There’s me. My dreams have always been different.

We spend so much time wishing to make our dreams come true. Those same dreams, that on many occasions, must face a tough battle with the comments of the people around us. Negative thoughts that usually destroy illusions.

It is completely normal to hear words like: “You can’t”, “I do not think it is possible”, “try something else”, “that is not for you”. And the one I hate the most: “Why don’t you look for a real job instead and put those dreams of yours aside? You know that dreams won’t pay bills”.

It’s amazing how many horrible things. With or without malicious intentions. You have to hear when you dare to think outside the box.  But even if they are not the right words. They can serve as a drive for you to follow through with your dream. Until you’re able to boast with the words: I DID IT!

Criticism is Normal When the Praise Should be the Normal

Sounds weird, but it’s the truth. Sometimes. You cannot find that encouragement you need so much to believe in yourself. Not even from the people closest to you. But it’s never your fault. Or your dream’s. Negative comments. Are often a reflection of their misunderstanding, fears, failures, and even frustrations. In worst cases. They come from a place full of envy.

And now I can see the reason behind this behavior. The truth is that fulfilling a dream is not impossible, yet it is super hard. To be honest. Not everyone makes it. We know that.

Today, I can tell you that none of this should affect you. Your life doesn’t depend on others’ thoughts. Go on with your dream. Work day and night for it. Set small goals, and go on achieving them. And above all, enjoy the process.

Try to do better every day and don’t get stuck when you don’t. Learn from the past so that you can take advantage of the present. To create innovative, unique things in your future. Let your imagination run as wild as ever. Let people remember you for it. Legends have become legends because of that. For being unique. For creating something that people never forget.

To me, nothing is more captivating than an unlimited imagination. That one capable of creating an incredible story from things that only a few people would believe to be a good fit. I dream that my essence. My way of seeing the world. What I believe. And what I am. Is a muse to write hundreds of stories. That entertain and enlighten thousands and millions.

Surrounding Yourself with Good Friends is Vital

Create relationships with people who support you in moving forward. Friends are a very important key in this whole process. When you fall, those around you can either be there to help you get back on your feet or wreck you. Therefore, try to choose good mates. And those are the ones who listen to you, support you, give you an honest opinion and seek the best for you. Those who grow while helping you grow and vice versa.

Having a startup, a business on your own, making your dreams come true, for sure feels great.  But it is a hard road in which, in addition, if we do not profit from what we do, continuing becomes impossible.  

And what better than working on what you love? Think about the best way to profit from doing what you are passionate about and start shaping it.  There’s always a way. Working on it every day can be great, but if it’s with your friends, it could be even better.

Today, I feel the luckiest to be able to be doing exactly this. At exactly this stage of my life. When you love what you do. You don’t have work. And that my friends…

Is happiness.

I am making my own way. Making original stories. Sharing videos on YouTube about me. About my book stories. About my amazing partners. The stories of struggle behind their progress to success-in-progress. And now I have one more goal: to translate my pieces so that I can reach everyone. I want everyone to read and know what I do. Starting with my close ones.

Making your Dreams Come True: The Best Feeling Ever

I’m living my dream together with my friends, and that is certainly one of the best feelings in life. A pure sense of accomplishment. Satisfaction. For what we have done and what we can still do shortly.

It has not been easy. There have been obstacles along the way and I’m sure there will be more. But a strong and positive mindset can survive any adversity. Criticism. Or disappointment. The first step is always difficult in any situation. But once you get started. No one will be able to stop you. #MambaMentality

A new chapter in the story of my life begins right now. In which the main character is about to start working on the next phase of his dream. Where after a lot of effort, he can look in the eyes of those who told him he could not do it, that he would not succeed. He’ll make them eat their words by proving them wrong with his acts. Actions speak louder than words.

All this. While finishing building a solid foundation to continue his way without stumbling. Where the effort that he and his friends do will be bigger than on previous occasions.

Personal Fulfillment and Its Joys

No doubt, it is fantastic to be able to make a living from this, from doing what I love. That my dream also is my source of income. I think it’s something that many would like to have and that only a few can enjoy. Cause yes, we all have dreams we hope to achieve, but not everyone is willing or able to start working on them.

Not everyone manages to dedicate hours and hours of effort. So that it turns out well, and then work even harder until it’s perfect. Not everyone has the patience. Mental strength (because not only the physical one matters) to resist anything much. Of course. Not everyone is surrounded by the right people to turn fantasies into realities.

Therefore, I feel more than lucky to be where I am now, and to be able to say: I’m living my dream! And just getting started!
