I hate that feeling when you have NO IDEAS. I’ve been working on one design for THREE WEEKS and can’t get ANYWHERE.I’ve made a cool drawing, and found lots of good fonts and photos, but NO FINAL DESIGN.
why can't I do that?
<<
I should do something else now.
I think that, when I’m off work, I’ll make a hoodie and try to sell it for money. Because I won’t have money when I stop working. Okay.
And I think I might try photography again. And maybe I’ll sell those for money too. Because that would be a nice thing to say I did once. Alright.
These are the things I want to learn:
Design. I want to learn how to be clever. I put too much pressure on myself right now to be clever with no education. (or real experience)
Fashion design. What makes a good design good? What are the rules and secrets to flatter each body type? How to sew properly and make patterns and sizes.
Entrepreneurial skills. How to start a business, and make it successful, and how to find out if there’s a market out their for the ideas in my head.
Business and people management. I want to be the best boss ever. But also highly profitable.
Secret rules of photography. What are the things no one ever notices, but completely make or break a photo?
Language. Someone cool is going to learn 5 languages by the time he’s 22. Me too, please! I will revisit Spanish, and get it fairly fluent. Then I want to learn Japanese. Swahili. French. No no no no! Not French! Maybe some European language.
Cell leadership. I want to be a really good cell leader. I want to pray and study for them. Not facilitate, but lie down and let them walk on my back across the gulf.
OkayThankYouu! OkayByeee!

Peace my friend. Let the peace that transcends understanding comfort and guide you.
You know the source of all you ask for... you know what makes good things good. Truthfully Zoë, you already have more than enough potential sitting within you, just ask Him to release it.
Commit your plans to the Lord and they will prosper...
Seriously, Set some time apart and write down all your ideas, then pray through each and every one. Prioritize those things that you REALLY want to do, and those things that you want to do, and those things that would be cool to do. Think in a way like "If I could only do one of these things, which would it be" and then, if I could only do one more of these things which would it be, and as you pray through them, you will be shown where your heart lies and with that, where you're calling lies. (and lies as in exists, not as in telling a lie)...
I think that once you know that, then God can really speak to you about how to fulfill that.
Just remember that tomorrow is always one day away. We can put so many things off until tomorrow only to realize that too many yesterdays have passed and we've still not gone anywhere.
I guess what I'm saying is there is SO MUCH within you, and I know when you've realized all that has been placed in you its gonna be amazing and its gonna change lives, that I would hate to see even a bit of that put off until 'tomorrow' when it could impact people today.
Anyways, that's my heart for the evening.
Jen
yikes, i'm not nearly as communicative as the insightful jen. but i will say a couple of things: 1) the reason you can't do calligraphy like that is b/c we would only be able to read every third word! 2)i think your photos are great and would love to buy some from you 3)may i suggest urdu or russian?
well, good luck with all that. i think you are pretty darn fantastic already!!
oh yes, I was thinking Russian would be a good language to learn. "I'm not one to talk about myself, but my friends DO say I've always had a strange fascination with Russia!" (That's some good, sound Emma education for those of you unfortunate enough not to notice!)
But what of Urdu? I've never heard of it before!
