Why not be like everyone else?
I believe that most people want to succeed and be happy. They are looking for solutions, for ready-made patterns of behaviour. We try to find answers to our questions, to do the right thing and not make mistakes, to meet standards, to do what others do, to follow patterns of behaviour. There's nothing wrong with that, we were all taught that in school! We have been told all our lives that we have to conform to standards in order to feel comfortable with others.
”Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” - Albert Einstein.
In the search for the right answers, many people forget that we are all different and there simply cannot be standard solutions for everyone. There is a whole universe inside every human being.
I sincerely believe that it is up to man to have freedom of expression. Listen to your heart and be yourself. That is why standard solutions do not work for everyone. They do not allow you to express your individuality. Have you noticed that the ”successful” today are those who stand out, they are not like anyone else. They are honest to themselves, they don't try to look good in the eyes of others. They have the courage to show themselves to the world without fear of being judged by others.
Of course, to express your individuality in art, you first need to know the basics well. Then you have to learn how to perform ordinary things with quality. And only then comes the stage where you can create something unique.
To do something unusual, you have to allow yourself to feel unusual. Give yourself permission to be different!
I hope that through creativity I can bring more beauty to this world. For me, quilting is a wonderful discipline because it offers endless possibilities for creativity. If you have always wanted to learn how to express yourself creatively, now is the perfect time. join my online courses.
My role in the courses is to provide a technical basis and consolidate knowledge to achieve a solid result. After all, only by mastering the technique can you later find your own style and work wonders. Good knowledge and a confident performance technique are the basis for unlocking your inner potential.

Freedom of choice VS positive mind
As we evolve spiritually, it is generally accepted that if you face difficulties, you have chosen the wrong direction and are not doing your own thing.
However, I have a completely different view on this issue. By avoiding challenges, we avoid life itself. I believe that the purpose of life is development. It is by finding solutions to problems and overcoming difficulties that personal growth occurs. Even in the most beloved business, you can encounter difficulties.
In today's world, people avoid difficult situations and even pain and negative emotions. I think it's like living with your eyes closed.
By not allowing negative emotions to be experienced, you eventually stop hearing yourself.
Living disconnected from your emotions is the life of a robot. What separates a human from a robot is the presence of a soul. The soul speaks to us in the language of emotions.
Emotions are our compass, showing us the right path.
Attitude matters. Challenges don't happen to us, they happen for us.
Freedom of choice does not lie in avoiding difficult situations in life, but in being able to choose one's attitude to them. He can choose to suffer and then his life will be like hell. Or he can choose to deal with the problem as an opportunity for his personality to grow and his talents to develop.
It is pointless to blame yourself for negative actions or feelings. To improve myself, it is better to think about what actions led me to this situation. And in the future, adapt my behaviour according to the new rules. To do this, you need to be attentive to yourself and those around you.
You can't plan happiness, you can only feel it!
Then try to use this situation to look at the world in a new way and get to know yourself even better.

How do you find yourself supporting creative people?
I often find that particularly creative people are afraid to reveal themselves to others. For example, they made something with their own hands and are afraid to post a photo on Instagram. This is because they are afraid of being judged by other people. They put other people's opinions before their own.
In this case, the author is not living his life and cannot reveal his potential. Can such a life bring happiness? We can spend our whole lives wondering what others think, or we can find confidence in ourselves.
Years ago it was very important to me what other people thought of my work, what comments they would write to me. But it hit me as an addiction to public opinion. This is not freedom!
Now I realise that by doing every job, I am doing my own work as a student. This is of course possible thanks to my clients and I am very grateful to them for this opportunity.
How do you find yourself supporting creative people?
First of all, we have to understand that we cannot please everyone. Sure, there will be someone who says something bad, but that's normal! We are not a €100 note that will please everyone. Secondly, creative people have to allow themselves to make mistakes. Remove meaning from the result and do the work effortlessly, playfully. Only those who do nothing make no mistakes. Thirdly, we must praise ourselves on obligatory grounds! How often we berate ourselves, but so rarely do we say anything good about ourselves.
I hope these three rules will help you to be more confident and shine in your own work.
Unleash your creativity
Every day, we do small things and dream big. Our lives are made up of actions, but will they lead us to our big goal? By doing ordinary things, we get known results. But if we want to change lives or improve something, we have to take completely new actions.
Doing something out of the ordinary can be scary...
Our new policies are not always right, there is a very high risk of error. But hey, this is not a bad thing! Listen, we have the right to make mistakes! Really. Only those who do nothing don't make mistakes. But without innovation there is no progress. I think the meaning of life is in evolution and happiness. That's why I'm constantly moving forward. Sometimes I stumble and fall, but then I get up and keep going. No one can give us any guarantees about how to do the right thing. We take and we do, and then we see the results. If we don't like it, we change what we do. Nothing serious happened!
At this stage, our attitude to the situation is very important. If you think this is a problem, it becomes a problem for you. If you think this is an opportunity, you'll come out of it a winner. My students know that you only learn felting skills by doing. There are no mistakes in the learning process. It is a fascinating journey into a world of incredible discoveries and new possibilities. In the process of making, we learn to know ourselves and better understand our desires. The most important thing is to understand the inner reason that brought you to this point. Without understanding the reason, it is useless to change anything in the outside world.
Life changes, everything changes. In the universe, only its variation is constant. We had better accept that as a fact, and not slow down our evolution, clinging to old habits and old things.
You learn craftsmanship by doing
You learn to live by living!
Go ahead and be brave...
