Always embrace the unexpected, the unknown. Not all things come to do harm, many are a path to a change you needed to make anyway.

Embrace it, try to feel if this new road works for you, test it out before you refuse it.

You might not know what’s behind the things you don’t like.

I never thought that going out for a walk to dispose of the trash would be so magic. But it was indeed.
I look forward to it, I put my earphones on and do a small walk to the trash bins outside. 5 to 10 minutes of slow walking, usually at night, with the empty streets and the cold winter air around.

It’s winter, the windows are all closed when I go for this walk, the city seems like sleeping although I’m sure people are still awake in their homes.

What’s magic about it? If I think about it I’d say that it’s mostly the fact that I’m 100% doing one thing, and that I have nothing else to do. No schedule, no task afterwards, nothing. It’s just a walk alone in the frosty winter night.

Tasks, planning, scheduling. All seems wonderful but in the end it’s when we get into the unplanned, the white page, that we go back to our roots, at least for me these moments are one of the few times when I can truly feel relaxed. Not because I’m otherwise stressed, but because the entire world and life stops for a few minutes. All the scheduling is less important, all the task are not part of my mind and my mind is not wandering away.

Protect those times. For you it might be something else, but once you found it be sure to understand what makes them special. It’s not about happiness, it’s not about fulfilling, it’s about getting out of the attention economy and getting back to a more simple and minimal approach.

We are a product of comparison. We make choices in our lives based on what other people have. We consider their well being and happiness as the result of a specific part, like work, or money, or the house.

We see that our life is lacking that part and so we set on a journey to conquer it.

What we forget about this is that we don’t see what was behind their curtains. Their happiness might be as well the result of meditation, of even a premature understanding of death in life. Who knows. We don’t know their struggle.

Moreover, we miss 2 more points.

First: we think that this will work for us. That owning a bigger house or more money will be the solution to our problems.

Second: We think we can sustain their pressure. To get there people struggle, people are confronted with even more difficult choices. Would we be able to bear that kind of weight?

It’s hard to escape the comparison. We all do it from time to time. But it’s also possible to remind us what comparison really is: A method to explore, not to define life.

How worth is a stolen idea? How much it values?

I’d say it values almost nothing because a stolen idea is zero without execution. Yes, it might take time to accept, but an idea is just that: An idea.

What gets the idea into the world is struggle, running, fatigue, effort. It’s sweat 100%. It’s passion, it’s focus and user-targeting.

Sometime the niche is too small to be worth considering for any “big” opponents. Why? Because they won’t spend money in growing a small niche or know that the niche won’t produce enough money for them.

You’re not them though. You’re free. You can do whatever you want. The only thing you need is an execution.

Worried about copying?
Everything in this worlds has clones, we as human have dopplegangers, coke has Pepsi, sprite has 7up. And we’re not counting the cheap fake copies, we’re talking about “same-level” products.

So yeah, you will be copied. But you can still be unique and loved.

Some things heals like wound in a body. They take time. Relationships, friendships, they do need time and space to grow, to change, to improve.

Your effort won’t be repaid fast, it might as well be paid when it’s not the right time.
But as you can guess we cannot control this. What we can do is to take time, to improve, to learn, to move forward.

Cherishing our relationships so they are more meaningful and impactful.
As for the result we can only do one thing: Try to accept it, either if we like it or no.
