My own voice

My feed in 2019 has been mixed with happy overachieving posts and softspoken down to earth and totally naked type of posts where all the insecurities are shoved up our throat.

The people I surround with myself and in my network are the ones that are literally falling into one of these two categories, except the few ones that dare to just be themselves without trying so dam hard. 

It has taken me a whole year to try to figure out why I had such a hard time posting anything, writing about the everyday struggle of building a company. I have used the word entrepreneur so much that I started to believe I was faking it.

Insecurities, loneliness, procrastination, can all be an enemy of your daily life. As human beings, we all have to fight our demons, or voices in the head or whatever you want to call it. We are The Masters of pushing our selves down and not daring to love our selves. 

To find a way of defeating all the voices and finding the right one in our head will be a tough task. 

So yeah, you better fight your demons, hunt that voice, because it will always move and never be still.

You have to dare to be great, dare to surround yourself with greatness and believe in yourself no matter what.

But how do I do that without falling prey of simply trying too hard?

How do I show not others, but myself who I truly am? Can I show the world that part of me? the part where I dream so hard about a future so foreign to many that it aches in my heart?

2019 is the year we started out with one single product that we know there is a market for, ending up creating a second one that is about to be published. It took a lot of time and trying to understand why I had such a problem of writing and creating content. I am a storyteller from early childhood, it has been part of who I am for so long that I should not have a problem of telling my own story, yet I did have that problem.

I had to stop and listen, truly listen to my own voices so I could hear myself. What is it that drives me? What motivates me? What keeps me up at night, longing for a change in this world of ours? 

I ended up realising that I had listened to way too much to other peoples way of thinking, other peoples paths but my own.

It is time I follow my own voices and my own dreams. Dreams of a future not only on this planet but out there in the Universe.
