Fear or Excitement?

They say the feeling is the same.

You fear failure, bulling, shame and guild, but what if it all works out? What if the fear of the unknown is actually the curiosity getting thought?

We will never find out if we never try what we want, if we never go where we’re drawn to, if we never look for what we want to find. The fear of regret is bigger and heavier than the fear of failure.

Time is passing. Time we’ll never get back. The fear stays the same. The lizard brain, the ego, trying to protect us are keeping us steady, where all that is needed is to flow along with Life. To trust the waves, the storms and the calm waters under the bright sun. To have faith that it is all working out, it is all arranging itself for our highest good, as it is in fact doing so.

We have no control on anything else but the way we perceive life. The way we choose to feel and the way we react. This shapes our reality and determines whether or not we get what we need and want.

So the question really is, not what we fear, but how we can keep walking with the uncomfortable feeling but with a hearth full of faith and trust in the higher conciseness, that indeed, has out back. Always.

Daily undaily

Variety of research shows that habits are build between 21 and 40 days. And if want the result but skip a step, you better start anew.

I’m aware and I go in and out of certain habits. Found out anxiety has been my main buddy throughout my life, so working on this (kind of toxic) relationship lets me deprive myself of doing what I like, want and really look forward to. Like this Daily Blog for example.

I think about it, think about you too. But also learning to allow myself to take time and observe myself, the patterns I carry and the reason I’m moving towards the goals I desire.

This is a simple note for you, for me, for us - the world won’t finish if you skip a step, if you slow dow, if you restart the game. Sometimes a daily practice is nonlinear, disorganised even passive. A daily practice is not also the desire to move forward, even while standing still but simply not giving up. Daily practice is also acknowledging how you feel, how much energy you have and that not all days you can be on 100%.

Don't grow up

Especially out of your curiosity and artistic play. That permanent state of exploration and trying all things we like when we’re going up simply disappears when the “seriousness” of adulthood becomes a default state.

Yet all great art expression is manly connected to that pure, curious state of mind where we allow ourselves to be and do by instinct, not by structure.

I’m guilty of living too much as grown up, self depriving myself of exploration and new potential work. I also have to remind myself to let go of expectations, to remove the describing social media full of other people’s life and let myself get into the zone, into creation, letting myself come back to myself.

It’s not too late and it will never be. Just come back to what you love doing and do it often. Grown up fast will always be there, but they don’t really fill your soul up.

Photography is not the camera

Many think photography is the quality of the camera used. Yet, as any other skill and art form, it’s all about the practice and patience.

To stand still, but also to move suddenly. To practice, but also to simply observe. To copy the masters, but most importantly discover your own voice.

In today’s world photography can give you instant results. Yet it takes years of practice to really learn it.

To learn to see. Shapes, details, movement, behaviours. To see how objects interact between each other. To learn how to present and summarise a story from the complexity of world.

Shine or die

What are you afraid of? That they will see who you truly are? That you’re so different from them and they’ll have to exclude you from their life in order to remain living their “normal”, “familiar” life?

You hat is the Sun or the Moon, or the beautiful floweres refused to show who they are? How would the would be if they didn’t express a whole of their glory?

There are things that you can choose, features and gifts given for you for a reason. You’re not up to you to decide if they make sense or not. Yes, you have the free will to hide them away from public eye, but by doing this you harm yourself and all of us, all of what there is.

Don’t dim your light to fit into containers of others who don’t know how to let their light shine.
