Inspiring 😊 made me think about my recent graduation (architecture) and how I tried to skip pausing and reflecting, out of fear of losing the flame and motivation to continue.
What a beautiful reflection and metaphor Fatima about keeping the flame alight. I suppose it doesn't just require fuel, a flame needs space, it needs oxygen!
Hi Hannah, It is a great idea to have your voice accompanying the newsletter, feels even more personal and relatable! It is nice to hear your thoughts about your journey until now, consistency is the unsexy game changer !
Took me so long to get round to this, but I really loved this one Hannah.
It’s important to remember that we don’t always have 100% in our tank — and we can only give what we’re capable of.
I love the personal updates too!
Looks like I missed this before too!! Thanks, Lewis. This reminds me of the quote:
"On the days you have only 40%, and you give 40%. You gave 100%" - Jim Kwik.
Michael did a brilliant visual on this

That’s so true!! @Hannah Wilson
Normal people think you need to be confident to start. Successful people know they get confident once they start.
Imperfect action beats perfect planning.
E.L. Doctorow's once said: "Writing is like driving at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way."
So take action. Even if it is small action, do it. One may think it does not make a difference, but it does. It really does.
If you just read 30 mins a day in 10 years you would read 440 books (assuming 1 page per minute)
If you run 1 mile daily for 10 years you would cover 3,650 miles, which is equivalent distance of running 140 marathons.
Small and consistent actions + time = exceptional results.

Wonderful points Andres, I love this analogy of writing being like driving at night. It helps us focus on the now rather than the future!
It’s easy to think that we need to know the ending before we start a project, but if we did, wouldn't that be boring anyway? haha

What a year, happy your dog is well again. Keep rocking it Hannah!
Wild one right? Thank you so much, right back at you Hidde 😃✨

Thank you so very much, Lud! I enjoy doing these voice notes and I'm glad to hear that you like the receive them.
And well said- consistency can feel unsexy and boring, especially with so many shiny objects out there.
I think we have to find novelty in the project we're working on, rather than seeking it out elsewhere and never finishing anything 🤣
Word. "Seeking it out elsewhere and never finish anything"... Ouch... 😅
hahaha oops, not personal 😂 maybe a better wording is "lengthening the time it takes to finish anything" ahh
😂 Thank you. I like to believe my procrastination could be still productive. Eventually. One day.
Hannah, congratulations on a great year! It's a good reminder to show up every day and keep going. Cheers!
Hey Mike, thank you so very much! I hope you've had a wonderful year too 😃✨
P.S. I need to grab a copy of your book. I have seen it before, but now I can read it with newfound gratitude of being connected.
