So I'm back in Krakow once again, and this time I am going to attempt to do it right. After the trip to Portugal I feel like I have more energy to start things off right again, for some reason why I was here in November it was a bit difficult because I just moved into a place that needed renovation and that took quite a bit of time, but now that I am back for the second time and that is all done, I can start from a new beginning. Enjoy the Podcast, hope you get something useful out of it. Any questions, just email me at [email protected]

In this Episode I speak about how through discipline you can have more fuller experiences. In life you will come across multiple situations where you can either be disciplined, or you can be lazy. And the path you take, will have an effect on the outcome of your experience. If you act through discipline that will allow you to capture more opportunities, have fuller experiences, and have better long-lasting effects. If you act through laziness, that will do the opposite, you'll pass by opportunities, you experience will most likely be more dull, and the long-term effects will be diminished. Hear me get more in-depth on this topic by listening to this Podcast Episode.

Is the sacrifice of doing 'your own thing' really worth it? I think it is. 

It ain't easy to start your own business. By doing so you might be sacrificing your work life, your social life, you might have to spend lots of time alone - planning, working, figuring shit out, to make this thing work. You will probably have to tread through discomfort to get to a point where you're enjoying the process of working for yourself. 

But to be honest, if you think about the other side, 'the norm' of finding a job, working for someone else, letting them decide when you work and what you do while you're working.  This might be comforting, but really is it? If you look a few years ahead, there isn't much that this type of lifestyle is giving you! You might get a bit of money, and maybe you learn something - but that something is 'most likely' not so valuable. 

Now if you envision starting your own business, there is a big difference. Yes there is that initial discomfort, fear, 'the unknown'. But 5 years down the road... what do you see? I see a community of like-minded people, I see a future that has some meaning to it, I see MONEY! Lots of money. And besides all of this, all the shit that you will go through when starting your own business will have a much bigger impact on your learning than a regular job will ever. 

I think it's about creating a reality which resonates with YOU. A reality which you gives you the opportunity to experience what you want to experience. A reality where you're surrounded by people who envision a similar future to yours.

And yes there are companies where this type of reality exists within the company - so if you find this, good for you! 

But for those settling for regular jobs, and jobs that don't lead to a reality that is envisioned, well IDK about that. The comfort of this type of life is great, but it will most likely lead to a reality that is not so fulfilling. 

And lastly, balance is key. It's not about quitting your job and just going for your own thing. You could do that, but it's much better to have a balance. Lessen your work hours so that you can put more time into things you love doing, and when you get to a point when you can detach from that 'normal job', then go all into doing what you love doing. It will pay off in the end. 

Many small stories accumulate to what we call 'LIFE'. It's those small stories that define the life you live. Whether you sit at home all day and do nothing at all, or whether you go out in the world and actually live it, the decision is yours. A story can repeat itself, over and over again, until it's no longer recognizable, and this is what we call a mundane life, or 'not living at all'. On the other side of the spectrum we have lives which are 'lived', those lives which have many different stories, interesting stories, fascinating stories, stories that you want to hear. 

I don't believe in the idea that you should spend your existence doing shit you do not like, rather I believe that life is here to be experienced, opportunities are meant to be seized, curiosity should be explored. Live a life of adventure, live a life that is worth living.

Money money money. What are your thoughts on money? What do you feel when you think of money? Do you feel anger, jealousy, fear, or maybe you feel happiness, freedom, love? For me the feeling associated with money used to be guilt... Why guilt? because my family never had much money, or when we did have some money we quickly spent it or lost it. This was the pattern of money throughout my childhood and my teens, until I finally realised so and made a change. It was my mother that really put the spotlight on the money habits our family had, because she was the one who was in charge of the money. I kept on seeing her spending money on pointless stuff like clothes, fast food, and things that our family didn't really need. When we'd go to the clothing store she'd force me to buy something - and now I realise that she did this because she wanted to get that dopamine hit. But after my experiences with my mother I started to focus on changing my money habits, I read a few good books like Millionare's Mind by T Harv Eker , Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki , and I started to practice what I read, putting money away into envelopes a technique I learned), and with time the money grew, I was spending less, and now I'm much better off when it comes to money. But I still have phases where I forget and go back to my old spending habits, I'm not perfect at it but I'm mproving. But the reason why I'm telling you all that is because if you never learn to manage your income then it will disapear and you'll end up broke, and when you're broke you can't do shitttt. Money might not make you happy, but it surely gives you freedom and freedom makes me happy :) Enjoy - Foto de Karolina Grabowska en Pexels

This is the first time I earned a grand for one design. The person that I work with asked me to make a t shirt that will be sold as an NFT, which is like a digital product - and is unique in it's identity. He told me he'll give me a grand for this design! I was really taken back by this because I usually charge 50 - 120 for a t-shirt so him just offering me a grand I was really f****** suprised. 

If you put in good work you will be rewarded for it, and this is my reward for all my efforts.

The world is a big place, with different cultures, different people, different smells, sights, feelings. There's no point in staying in a place that doesn't resonate with who you are, it's a waste of time and energy. I've lived in places that were "okay", and I thought that "this is all there is, it's doesn't get better the this environment", but once i started travelling I realised that the world is full of amazing places and places where I love being - because of the daily interaction with the people, because of the different foods, because of the types of music people in that place listen to. Each place has it's own qualities and charasteristic, you just have to find one that truly resonates with your likes and dislikes.
