To chase!

A plan, an idea or inspiration, the flow, deep need like a hunger. A motive for action, the vision, impulse like a lightning, simple thought, the goal to reach. The thunder on the horyzont, shooting star, hope as a rainbow, or a dream.. You name it - because it does not matter. 
The name is not as important, as the fact of the action, the simple word "do", so go, do. Chase! 

Nothing will happen if you do nothing - sound safe, ha? But it is, not necessary the whole truth. When we do nothing - everything is happening beyond us. The trap is in this exact moment. So, keep moving, stay positive and keep on fighting. 

The fact is that each minutes, moments or days are there to chase. Action = reaction. This is the role to play - to be a chaser. Easy to say? Of course. Harder to do? OF COURSE! But by now, I am sure you already know the saying: no pain, no gain!

Even if our decisions, or efforts does not work as they should - let's change them. 
Even if our work do not bring the results, we expected -let's learn from them.

There are so many ways we can create our happiness. When we are not happy, we need to see things as they are. And we need to teach ourselves the relief of gratitude and appreciation. It is easy to forget how much we know already. It is simple to not see how far we have come. 

Be honest with your self. Stay true, with who you are and what you can do. Know yourself, so that you will know, your limits and liberations. Then you will find out that you can grow, that you can change, expand and develop. You can broadened the limits of your abilities. 

Spend some time with yourself. Understand yourself, your needs, your passions. Find your way to build the confidence of your plan, your idea or inspirations. The confidence of the flow, of the deep need like a hunger. Your motive for action, your vision, impulse like a lightning. This simple thought, your goal to reach. The thunder on the horyzont, yours shooting star, hope as a rainbow or your dream..You name it, it is yours. So chase it!

How to start? I would create a list. Simple peace of paper or notebook, simple note, the list. The list that we can change and transform as it goes. I like to see things, before they will happened. I'm a visual person. I know this. But to know this, I had to spend some time with myself. So, get to know yourself. And find your best way to start. There is no extra charge for starting over and over again. So feel free to start as many times, as you need. No pressure. do, go and do. Chase!

You can motivate yourself, if you need/want to. You can help yourself by learning how to breath, how to inspired yourself by your needs. To do something you like, about something that you like & enjoy. Reward your body by exercising and stretching. Thanks to all that, you are staying true, solid and brave. Nobody and nothing will put you out of balance. You will keep your focus. Start, stay open. Do and chase what you want.

Good luck and enjoy the moment.

Many good projects and things are on the way.

See you soon, thanks for reading and come back any time. 

Best,
Ann.

P.S.

Cheers!

Who do you know you are?

You can do so many different things. You can go to school, finish some trainings, courses. You can specialise yourself and gain the experience. You can pursue in different areas. Also you do not have to be, experienced in one direction. You can be great in something and very good at something else, or great as well. But it's important to know, that you know who you are.

When you know it, nobody will take it back from you. It gives strength and power, motivation and desire to create, to develop. This knowledge makes you a strong and stable tree whose sole purpose is to grow and flourish.

Thanks to that, you can focus on yourself and on being happy. Because we live in relation with who we are. So we do what we know and we do what we are good, better and better at. Thanks to the fact that you know who you are, this knowledge will gives you the full advantage that you ARE, here and now!

Question: Who am I? The answer is not easy, but it never was.

Is finishing school, education determines more or less the direction of us to define who we are? Yes, in a way. Because the school builds our personality, as we are a part of this big educational machine the same as the machine is a part of ourselves.

Is it what you have, the profession you are doing that defines who you are? If yes, are you willing to say that you are proud or satisfied with yourself being that someone? If you meant to answer to yourself. 

The work that we do, determines this fact and defines the scope of our duties and actions. Again, it narrows us down to the framework of our profession. But does it definitely determine who we are? Not completely. I know many people, who are working in a placed unrelated to their passions. It does not mean that they are unhappy. It does not meant that they should feel bad or worse. 

Actually people are not quite satisfied. People who are working where they want to or when they dreamed of becoming someone and they achieved it are even less. Of course, there are cases where everything is great. It motivates, it sets a fire for those who have doubts and fears.

My Grandfather always told me that work is a value. Yes, good work and well done work is a great value. It is possible to pursue a career we did not dream of? Is it possible to meet your ambitions in terms that are not related to our education? Of course!

Why? Because which job we have does not mean of who we are. Me, you, they thee are a series of complicated and not always clear paths, we are like a glacier mountain. Discovering only a part, visible on the surface for all. We are like a safes, that hide their secrets and treasures only for those who will be able to decode our cipher. Sometimes it is simpler, sometimes it is not.

But why who are we should be most important for ourselves?

Because then we can be authentic, we have a harmony with ourselves. It will allow us to be unreachable to the surrounding obstacles or issues.

It's how we see ourselves influences how others perceive us.

It's nothing new, thought older than me for sure. ;) 

But it is a true and the truth should be conveyed and we need to take care to keep it alive, not lost in the jumble of other matters.

The only restriction we have is ourselves, always. 

Everything is possible. We can be who we want to be. True, it it not always easy. But the work that we put into it, to become that someone, to climb on this mountain of our own possibilities is the value to strived for to make our lives meaningful. 

So? Do you know? Who do you know you are?

Hi everybody!

My name is Anna, I am 30 years old and I am Art and Design (madness) lover. 

How does my story go? 

I have graduated from the Fine Art Academy in Poland with the Master of Art title in 2011. This is, where I have done my first deep steps to the creative ocean. It is also, where my serious artistic experiences have begun.. 

I decided to have this blog, where my aim is to publish from time to time as expected unexpected result of constant thinking, being and my points of view. Including a point of how it is to be an Artist and what can bring us to the stage of being who we are and who we could be.

What you can expect to find here?

1. My thoughts and ideas.
2. Recommendations and inventive options.
3. Advices and certain flow of fresh energy.
4. Complains of reality being full of disordering fears and doubts.
5. Positive power and motivation concepts.

I look forward to seeing you here, on my new blog #designmadness.

Cheers!
Ann.
