It´s always seems impossible untill it´s done

I trully believe that everything in life happens for a good reason and that all the experience we are going through are here so we can learn and grow and move upward. That belief helps me keep sane during the harshest time. And I know from my expreince that, everything always fall into place. Everything always make sense in the end. Life is just magic like that.

A few months ago, a friend of mine asked me to write a kind of city guide about Amsterdam. For people visiting new places, it´s always good to have an insider point of view and since I live in Amsterdam at the moment…she asked for my help. What to do while visiting this beautiful multi faces city? This article was to be shared in the webszine, Get Eat Out that she managed with a bunch of other cool people. Although the challenge seems very exciting, it is not nerecessarely a big deal. Right? But for me it was. After a few minutes I froze. I wasnt sure anymore if I could be able to do something like that, if I knew the city enought. I started to question my writing skills. You know, all those stupid questions. It took me forever to actually start writing the acrticle. I was procrastinating on it for weeks, always finding good excuses. But a promess is a promess and I wanted to shut all those doubts in my head. So I booked a day do do the job. Shut down all the distraction (social media and all that noisy stuff, you know the deal) to be able to just deep dive in that challenge. And how unbelievable was it?! It´s funny how once you actually start, pages start to fill in and things go so smooth. Within a few hours, it was done!! I did crazy research to check my facts and be the most accurate as possible. I was very please with the outcome because it reflected my authentic view about the city, without unnecessary flowers and flatering bulshit.

I was super proud of myself! Proud not only because of the quality of the article itself, but also because I did what I thought I couldn´t. And this quote from Nelson Mandela rang the bell : “It always seems impossible untill it´s done”. It´s just that simple. There are so many unnecessary things that we give too much room to, allowing them to refrain ourselfves…the best part of ourselves. And we end up living like zombies, missing out so many opportunities to fully live our mission and reach for the stars.

But once we allow ourself to just give it a try, to let go of the fear that we create in our imagination….the magic happens. The champions that we admire, the people who inspire us are what they are not because things just come easily to them, but because they have gone through their fear and showed up! Sucess nor happyness are things that we meet at a croissing road in life, it´s something that needs to be actively created…everyday. It´s a process.  Actions needs to be taken towards that happy sucessful place. And each little step, even the tiniest is a step forward to our goal. Even on days that feel like hell, keep pushing. Go small but keep going. That´s how we bloom. And that´s how we inspire others to do so too.

Lets rise together and make this world a much better place.
