Day 19: Reality & Steve Jobs

I usually walk home from work, but at this new gig I usually hop on the train. I've never been a fan of the subway, especially in the summer. But there are some perks.

I don't have to focus on where I'm going after I get on the right train, I just sit back and enjoy the ride. Nice moment after a day of thinking, calling and working. For some reason the idea of reality was on my brain all day, well more so where reality comes from.

How do our lives become our reality? Clearly my reality is different from Steve Jobs, Charlie Kaufman...you get the point.

It all comes back to the choices. Your reality today, with exceptions of course, is the sum of all your life choices so far.

I know it goes back to yesterday's post, but it's just my stubborn brain processing it. Want to change your life? Change your choices.

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS:

Yesterday was my second sketch class, first sketch presentation. I vowed I would go first. I did. It's less brave then it seems though: there are no expectations going first, no earlier sketch to judge your own against and really nothing to lose. And you know what, that feeling can be in every turn: it's not when you go, it's how you go about it.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: Building the site!

The challenge is less about the site, and more about me choosing not to work outside of the office. It's tempting, but I would rather work on something for me in my own time. And that is what I am going to do!
