So happy and grateful | Another success story of visualisation
Remember me mentioning a project I was working on?
Some may remember that I was talking about a project that I was working on behind the scenes? The project’s name is World Of Reviews, and I actually was secretive about it because of a few reasons. I had a few things planned out to start this project on my way to Steemfest this year, and continue it while in Bangkok and even on my way home afterwards.
As I didn’t want to spoil the surprise of what I was working on, I didn’t tell exactly what I was planning. Arrangements were made partially, and then after a few months I realized that even with these arrangements I would not be able to make it there. And if I would be able to make it to Steemfest, we as a family would struggle afterwards, so I decided that’s not worth it.
Honestly, I was quite disappointed for a while
Although I have felt great disappointment for a while, I continued with other things that kept me busy. The hardest thing about not going was that there were suddenly some doubts in the back of my mind about my project as I had been envisioning this so often and clearly, that I believed in it with every cell in my body. How could I have felt this so clearly while I’m now not going to kick off the project as planned? Did I not envision it well enough, or did I lose my focus too quickly? Because the truth is, that at some point there was a deadline coming closer which I needed to make to secure that collaboration. Even though boyfriend kept reminding me, for some reason I didn’t feel it. I slowly lost the flow to get it done.
Without realizing it first, my project started to get formed in a different way than I had envisioned. This is also something I could have known, as you visualize something and then you have to let the universe decide how to get to that point. The how to get there doesn’t even matter in the end.. I totally forgot that a step by step process in great detail wasn’t something that’s needed, I only needed to focus on the end goal, and the rest would be clear once it’s time… And this is exactly what happened, without even thinking that I was doing the preparation work for my project, I was actually doing so. I started doing collaborations with businesses like contacting them in my own name at first, while my boyfriend reminded me that I was actually talking on behalf of World Of Reviews here. Oh wait, he’s right, I actually am! He had to remind me about the project that I was focussing on for several months until not too long ago.
I had no doubt in my mind, not even the slightest, that this project would be successful and it would be something that I could continue everywhere in the world. Because where we will end up in a few years from now is still unknown. I’m grateful for the fact that I’m starting to love being in Budapest every time I secure a collaboration, and I start to see opportunities here, instead of not feeling at home in this city like it has been for a while. Right now I’m not focussed on making sure we get out of here, but thinking about which projects I can do here the next year. Yes, I’m even thinking ahead about next year!
I believe in the project and going to work my butt off to show that to the rest of the world..
The collaborations for drinks and food have been awesome, and I’m grateful for those opportunities so far, but let me tell you what I managed to secure today. Not long ago I’ve written about the fact that I love Andrea Bocelli and started to love the Italian language as well because of his songs.. I envisioned arranging a collaboration for his concert in Budapest in November… And guess what? I actually forgot about it for a week or so, until I received an email today saying that they were more than happy to sponsor us two tickets. I just came back from IKEA and set 3 steps inside our apartment when the email came in, I didn’t stop smiling since. I’m so super excited! It will be awesome, and of course I will write an awesome review about the concert, because I think it will be amazing to hear him perform live.
Normally you'd read afterwards what I've been up to, but this time I could not resist writing about it, as I'm so happy since I received the confirmation this afternoon. Let's end this post with a couple of videos of Andrea Bocelli, shall we? Enjoy!
