Just upon drafting out my own “vision” for my business I came across this inspiring article and many others like it over the last few days of the creative artisans we have in our midst not only in Australia but right here in Brisbane.
I spent the last week working on my new website for ‘Sanchia’, what will soon become my online store. It feels like such an exciting time in my life. I feel inspired like never before. Now just to harness that and carry it through. Hence the planning and setting of goals. Its frustrating as I have so many ideas racing around my head it keeps me awake at night…I have been dreaming about designs, fabrics and all the other projects I am looking forward to. “Why now?” I keep asking myself…”why not 6 months ago or 2 years ago”. Ah i guess it just didn’t happen then, other things did. But today is better than tomorrow…so here it is..my dream, my vision…taking shape in front of me…slowly but surely. And my main goal…to just enjoy it, see what happens and to work through the challenging times I know will come along. These are the times when I grow the most.
I came across this amazing conceptual photograph in my wanderings across the net. It’s entitled “Plans”, and the caption that goes with it is: Do we enjoy the little steps to complete our desires? What do the hatch-marks in planning mean to us? In the end, I think it’s the journey that is important.
To have my own label, to share what I love doing, to create something beautiful has been a vision for a long time. The time I have spent learning what I know from life, my career, everywhere, has been part of my journey to do what I am doing now and with confidence. Never see anything as a waste of time or effort, put your all into whatever you do, even if it is to realise that it wasn’t for you. I hope that this or something inspires you to challenge yourself and follow your vision and love the journey!
