Unfamiliar.

Hello KL. Im back!

Do you realize that sometimes when we decide to do something Unfamiliar, we think of all the worst case scenario. I don't understand why we can't think of all the best case scenario. Because the worst case scenario usually never really take place, i guess neither would the best case scenario. Im talking about two extreme's to what usually takes place. 

I think back and remember when i decided to do fashion and was given the Green light to study fashion. (Being simple minded and knowing that art was in my blood and what i had to do, became very persistent) I decided i didn't want to be where everyone was, so instead of Melbourne i choose Sydney. And in Sydney i was looking at two schools, TAFE and Whitehouse. TAFE had a really long application form and questions to answer, Whitehouse's application was simple and they had an option to apply for a scholarship to Italy in the third year. 

So of course i decided on the latter, it was easier to apply for and it had its perks. The funny thing is, how would i have known back then that i would have even been worthy enough for the scholarship which i eventually received! :D 

Somehow, i truly believe we must always be brave in our pursuits. Keep on going even when things get tough. I remember i had my ups and downs during fashion school. I had my doubts and my worries. But i carried on because it was what a student does, it was what i decided and it was something i had to finish to receive the degree despite all the thinking of this and that. Sometimes i dislike how wavering my mind is, i'm learning to be more focused and committed.

The thing about when you are working and starting your own thing. No one is going to give you deadlines, or tell you what to do, guide you, its not a set three year thing. Its different. You'll have to make your own deadlines, create your own schedule and system, find mentors, and when you go through highs and lows, doubts and concerns, you have to be so highly committed to not leaving things when it gets hard. You don't have A's to get, but Sales instead. You do have Judges and Lecturers to please but Customers instead. 

Its like going on an Adventure, vs. going on a Tour with a Tour Guide. In the former, you have to create your own goals, direction, objectives, purpose etc. In the later, you are following the Tour Guides goals, direction, objectives, purpose all set out for you, which he believes you'll like and is profitable for him. I personally do not really like tours. 

Anywho, getting back to point. Its time to grow up and take responsibility. Its time to know that giving up is not an option. Its kinda intimidating sharing all this . But hey, why not. we must all Persevere in our pursuits. Be Honest with God and let Him guide you and shape your plans.
