This photo was taken on the day when I got my momentum!
I believe that you got your moment as well! And I look forward to hearing about it 🙂 I will start, and you, please, tell me your story in a comment or PM.
I knew I would be strong enough one day to follow my nature. But I had no idea that all I needed was to keep that belief in my heart. Because
when we cherish that feeling alive, any situation can trigger change.
My moment unlocked when I read an interview with Rambo Amadeus, self-titled – musician, poet, and media manipulator. Frankly, philosopher of the new age. Mega-tzar said:
“My hobbies are my professions. It’s everyone’s utopia, isn’t it? One has to believe in one’s dreams; otherwise, they will never come true. Of course, it’s essential that your parents, when you’re young, don’t stomp on your dreams with their frightened feet. ”
I’m going to put you in to show you how the ping-pong conversation in my head sounded:
“My hobbies are my professions.” I have plenty of them! What would I get if I merge everything I am, my desires, talents, professions, and experiences into one story? I love to inspire people to thrive and bloom. I paint, dance, write, speak… I speak the language of art and business, nature and psychology. My life experience is enormous. With all that, I will go deep into all the pores of my nature and express myself with naked honesty! Isn’t that the perfect filter that will open the space for me to connect only with those people with whom I sincerely want to spend my life?! Isn’t that the only way to achieve everything we need for a free life?
No more hiding!
I have to be aware of and accept everything I am. Let’s see what I have on the list. OMG! How can I hold on to the reason why I’ve been ridiculed all my life? Something that burns my skin so much, not just fiscally, but as a question that I’ve been asked more times than – where are you from? How can I go over even bullying that went from “How is it possible that you are so PALE (BelA)?” to “Of course, she read all the school reading when she spent the summer in the basement! Her skin didn’t see a touch of sunlight!”
I can do this!
I will turn what used to hurt me so much into an advantage. I chose to embrace what is so obvious as a signature. Hey, white (BelA) is a color that contains all existing colors in its spectrum. That’s me!”
That night, I decided to set alive this UTOPIA Rambo talked about. So, I am embracing EVERYTHING I AM into a BUSINESS THAT WILL FOLLOW MY LIFE, and I signed my painting as BelA.
Seven years later… Best decision I’ve ever made! The story rolls on!
*(BelA in Serbian means white or pale.)
