Day 14

As life goes on, it’s become a lot more fun to be new at something. It didn’t used to feel this way. I remember it being really difficult to be new at learning something. So much has changed for me in the last year. I feel I have the stability I need to move through the world.

I don’t always feel confident. Sometimes I’m full of doubt. But there’s always a point you reach when learning something new, where it’s now comfortable, even as you’re still learning.

There’s a balance needed when learning new skills, between making obvious progress and seeing you still have a long way to go.

If things don’t get better in your situation, you lose the reason for continuing. It can be that way in all different situations in life.

The progress I’m making in business is what wakes me up every day. It’s why I keep going. Because I can see in the numbers and the quality of my work that I’m actually learning, actually growing, building something worthwhile.

I don’t have a whole lot to say tonight. I’m still creating my interactive story reels. I haven’t attracted any engagement yet, and may never. It might just not be something people want on reels. But it is fun to learn about what makes people watch, what makes them engage, what gets them hooked.

I will finish the last part of the first story. I might stop after that and try other sorts of videos. I’m not sure yet. I do enjoy the process of storytelling, though.

I created a miniature painting tonight, based on a sad clown music box I found. It’s 2″x2″ — gouache. I put a magnet on the back to use on the fridge, then covered the watercolor paper with resin to protect it and give a glass effect. I’m planning on making more mini paintings. If I can find my dremel tool, I can turn them into keychains and sell them. I like the magnets too.

I suppose that’s all for tonight. I have my payments on eBay scheduled biweekly. I’ll be curious to see how much I can make before it’s released.
