Big deal!
Big deal! It is for me… writing pieces in English, building my own business in a way I’ve never built one before, stepping out of my so uncomfortable shadow, but so well-known.
I fight resistance every step of the way, and it’s a powerful beast. It growls, it bites and it’s huge, but I’m finally facing it.
My inner warrior has to come out of his corner and stood up. I’m asking for this for years now, and I do understand… He heard to many things he shouldn’t and he is hurt and that’s fine. Everything happens at the right time.
After some rolls with my beast I’m starting to have fun now. I even get up early in the morning to learn how to write, my fingers itch. You know the feeling?
WA is indeed a community where I feel safe. There’s a lot of encouragement… Wait, a minute, I have some tears to shed.
Done! A deep breath and here we go again. I’m not a writer, I’m not a wordsmith, earning money online is new for me (I come from the time when we had a Walkman), I’m many things not or not yet, but one thing I believe I am: Good enough!
It’s scary and at the same time exciting, yet they are now relatively equal, see the book: The War of Art.
Somehow my paralysis stopped; I outgrew my shadow, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly (Picture the scene in a Bug’s Life: “A beautiful butterfly!”)
A newborn butterfly’s wings need to dry because they are not strong enough to fly immediately.
Here at WA you can dry your ‘wings’ and make them strong before taking off. Each of us has his own path to follow. It’s beauty you define yourself as well as your final destination, we all have this in common: we are on our way!
Good luck to you all!

Hi Bieke, Thank you for sharing your inspiring post. I imagine there are lots of new challenges and interest in a city like Shanghai, I wish you success with your online business, Best Alan
Don't worry, I can't write either! What got me was, " my fingers itch". Yes I think we know that feeling quite well. It becomes part of us and the passion just keeps growing. We become transformed to think outside of another box.
Wow! super inspiring Bieke! Thank you so much sharing you heart and feelings with us. You say your aren't a writer, but I think you are doing great job. Keep up the good work, and remember you have a whole community here to back you up. You don't have to do it all on your own.
Very nice. For someone who's not a writer that was top notch. And I remember the walkman. Welcome to WA. Enjoy your Journey and reach for the stars.
