For a long time, I thought it was all down to dedication, hard work, and visualising doing well - that worked for a bit, but then it stopped. I've realised you have to be more practical and mature to make things actually happen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It takes a lot of hard work to stay committed and focus on what I wanted to achieve.
A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.
There is nothing wrong with dedication and goals, but if you focus on yourself, all the lights fade away and you become a fleeting moment in life.
I do always want to be creating something; I can't help it. I don't know why that is, but I'm certainly not gonna knock it now, at the age of 36. It seems to be working.
When I started working, I didn't have a clue what I was doing, in that I was just wandering around, hoping that I could succeed. Then after I got a little under my belt, it took me about 25 years to feel like I knew what I was doing.
I'm always building images. Even when I go out and put a look together, it's in my head the whole day, like, how I'm going to create this whole story. But I'm never satisfied; it's always a work in progress no matter what. Every day is working.
Going from idea to production is a huge hurdle. It took me a while to overcome it. It's basically all about self discipline, right?
Even though I am extremely blessed to have accomplished many of my goals at such a young age, I am still reaching, still striving.
I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it.
It's all discipline and schedule for me. I mean, it's very easy to get distracted by the real world and things that intrude constantly, and it takes dedication to live totally in your head and be tuned out.
