You never know what awaits just around the corner. I have my moments of doubts and disbelief but in the end, something better always comes.
Few days ago I had a really flavourless and uninspiring day. I switched absent-mindedly from task to another and nothing felt quite right. I didn’t actually feel anything. Like an emotional flatline which is the worst thing ever when you need to do something creative (especially if you do it for living). Even the anger is better than nothing.
I was so close give up, to pack my bag and go home when I randomly switched my Spotify to artist radio mode and the next song started. And what a song it was. I had spent hours on idle emptiness and suddenly I was crying out loud because of the beauty of the song that was playing. That strong emotion caught me so out of the blue and it was about seconds that I might have missed it and ended the day thinking it was total waste of my time.
This is just one of the times I have experienced something like that. Even the most awful day ever might turn into a pure bliss in seconds. You might get that phone call that changes your whole career, that email that makes your day, that client you have always dreamed of, that gut feeling that gently pushes you into the right direction.
There is always that moment just before everything changes. It feels so ordinary it gets often forgotten after the major shift. But in the end, that is the moment where the magic actually happens. Never underestimate the power of the next thing that will happen to you.
The daily text of today is not in here. It’s actually a letter to myself to be opened on January 11th, 2021. I’ve done one in school years and years ago (my daughter actually did the same quite recently) but after that, I got back to this lovely little piece of a routine last year. …
When I was a kid, I used to bury myself on the sofa with a pile of books I had borrowed from the library. Some things seem not to change that much. We haven’t had a sofa for years (or TV either) but the pile of books is still essential part of my everyday life.
All the products I design have a story behind them. Some longer than others and some more important. That goes also with client work. I think there should always be the story, the reason, the why before anything is designed, established or branded.
Do you know what Wreck This Journal is? Besides being a book that makes you do funny things, turns out it’s also a wonderful way to arrange some quality time with your kid.
Let the magic happen
