Say Yes & Do The Impossible

| One of the quoted lettering card I did. |
I wanna share a little bit about couple of my past experiences regarding the title.
I feel very blessed with many opportunities that came rolling to me last year when I just started Pinguart Studio.
One of the first big breakthrough was Pasar Kaget, a 1-day art bazaar. The story begins when my friend, Angela from Bits and Bobs happened to also open up a booth there and offering me to also have one on the day.
I saw the tenant fee is pretty decent and it was held in a good space. The only problem was.... IT WAS 2-WEEK TO GO and I have ZERO MINUS product to be sold.
I mean, come on....
* I was still in the middle of "deciding to set calligraphy & lettering as my work".
* There's no way I have any thoughts of creating any products.
* and what can I do in 2 weeks?
Turns out there's damn A LOT of things you can do within 2-week time.
I happened to have many small layout sketches that I never finalized properly. So, I decided to just sell cards with good life quotes. It is true that I worked harder than I've ever worked before (maybe), barely doing other thing beside work, lots of stress eating, 1-time shower and few hours of sleeping. My family and some of my friends can tell you that I have gone missing from life for 2 weeks.
With the mindset of giving the best I could, deadline is always the scariest thing ever, and presenting the best for the customers; surprisingly I managed to pull off good lettering works and cards that people really appreciates within just 2-week time.
You see, when I haven't done it, all I can see is the impossible. But when I actually have just go-for-it, doing it, experienced it and especially with a good outcome, it definitely changing the perspective from impossible to Do-able.
And trust me, when you've done it once, your confidence is suddenly growing big like Mario who just ate a mushroom 🍄🌟 UNDEFEATABLE! So, when there's another this-kind-of-opportunity came, I will confidently say YES to it and know that it'll defintely DO-able.
Lesson: Get the YES first and figure out how to do it later, there's always ways.
