I remember days when I used to sleep about 11 hours a day.
It was the early days of my first year at the university
I didn't even like it then.
I had thoughts about why the human race needs to sleep and on the other hand, I was thinking about how it's possible to be energetic and lively
To be like people who wake up every morning with energy, without this much of a need for sleep.
And zest for a new day.
And it seems that every day they carry accomplishment and achievement.
Time had had past and a friend, and old friend, introduced me to different job ventures and working for several organizations.
And not fewer than 8 hours working out of the home. That wasn't bad. They were advertisement projects but I have lots of headaches dealing with many people on any given day.
The interesting part is that all unpaid volunteer activities..
As much a good friend as he was, he was very pushy and unrealistically demanding.
Despite all of it, I was not deterred and took my responsibility very seriously and completed my job thoroughly and diligently.
I remember this specific night when I had to drive out of town in the late hours of the night to check on the setting that we prepared for one of our client's seminars the next day. I repeated this sentence all over that night: “being successful is due to persistence and courage.
I have to take measures to do something for my life.
The struggle continued for a couple of more years. Even though I was working with a bigger organization and I was getting paid still every night after work every morning when I woke up I was feeling the weight of the mountain on my shoulders. But regardless, every morning I needed to step in my fear to step forward.
There were many moments when I wanted to quit but little by little the long hours of sleep vanished. I spent more time being active, more healthy and having more productive days.
That's what I did in those 8 years that elephantine task, but how I saw those days and nights.
Where so dark and deem. That I couldn't even see a glitter of light
All led to establishing yastudio in 2019. A place where folks gather to take part in giving ideas and making everything happen,
Freedom to learn throughout the process
In Persian language, YA means OR; the preposition is used for sentences. when we want to choose between things or make decisions.
The foundation of “YA '' was a decision.
From a certain day on, I turned over a new leaf.
To sleep in or wake up early
To choose to laugh or cry
To choose to learn or …
The notion that YA brings to everyone’s mind consists of various selections and paths.
Wanting started from here. Having to choose “YA” and everything related was with a companion and a determination.
Fast forward, today I came to realize to distance yourself from those feeling and emotions you need a little bit of courage to see the possibilities outside of that whole and you need to stay fast with a hint of perseverance, resilience and light-heartedness.
What was important for me to learn and understand was that magic happens by expecting the pressure that comes from everywhere and seeing it as a sign that the pain is evidence of improvement and progress
And all of that bleaks just in your head.
Like a warrior, we need to learn we might lose the battle today, but the war hasn't ended.
Tomorrow has another adventure and every day was practising and getting stronger.
Then find your priority, put it on the Eisenhower matrix, and just do it.
And then I lay odds on you that you will find nothing in the world is an elephantine task.
You should tolerate the hardships in your life.
Thank you
