Get Inspired But Not Discouraged

I want to tell you something right away before I start, because I want to be honest with you, because if I'm not, then what's the reason for writing this blog. Nobody wants to read just pretty words... Ok, I take that back, actually we do like to read them. Maybe the right term here would be empty words. Words that don't cary any weight, no experience in them, just blah blah blah with a cherry on the top.

I believe people like authenticity, the raw material. At least I hope everybody is kind of tired of reaching the perfection, of everything being photoshopped, starting from pictures in the magazines till trying to look perfect in peoples' eyes, censoring every word, being afraid to sound stupid. Caring so much about shit that doesn't matter. So I want to tell you, I am not perfect. I am far from perfect. And even if I think this perfection shit is not real I still sometimes try to pursue it, blindly. Because perfection is an illusion. It's a place that doesn't exist, doesn't inspire and makes you feel less then.  So you read my blog and maybe think to yourself :" Sounds like she has it all figured out." trust me, not even close. I like to think we are all in this together. I believe in lifelong learning. Actually more I learn, more I realise I know nothing about life. I am no teacher, I am a student. By sharing my thoughts I might help you to figure something out and I might as well help myself.


I want you to know nobody is better or worse then you. Don't look down on people who are not doing so well. You don't know their path so who are you to judge and make them feel worthless. But same goes for the ones you look up to. They are the same people, maybe just more hard working, but nothing more special then you, trust me, nothing you couldn't do. I am telling you this because I myself am struggling with these two concepts.

There are times I look down on people and think I am so much smarter, I can do it better, Loooseeeerss.. Then again there are people who inspire me, who make me believe I can achieve greatness, but if I go too deep into that subject as well, inspiration turns into discouragement. I start feeling like I will never get there, I am never gonna be as good as them. There is an information overload and my thoughts go from "I can, I feel powerful" to "I suck, I don't know how to do anything". This jump can literally happen in a short while. Pretty scary, huh? Its up to you though to quickly get out of that trap, at first by slowing down your thoughts. Big mistake is trying to think even more about the subject, thinking you will figure it out right now. Because when you are feeling negative, no good and productive comes out of it. So I would say take a nap, works perfect for me. And then wake up feeling better you can start working on your ideas again. It works for me.

I told you and I am not scared to repeat myself, I am far from perfection, but then again it feels good to lay it all out, just as it is, because that's what connects us. The shit we go through. That's why we have each other, to support, to share, to not feel like we are alone in this. So I would suggest you to start believing in your greatness, to start seeing your uniqueness. Believe that there is somebody in this world that needs exactly what you have to offer, believe that you matter, believe that you make this world a better place with just your existence. And even if I'm long ways myself to believe in all this I am trying everyday, and people around me are a definite support. Don't think somebody's life is better or easier then yours. We all are fighting our battles. We all have our flaws even if somebody's picture is looking perfect in every way.  Get inspired by amazing people who achieved where you want to be, but know that they are just the same as you, just people. Get inspired but not discouraged.  They can, so can you!

Thank You
