Step By Step

I cannot stress enough the joy I get from reading Guy Kawasaki's book. As a graphic designer, I want to enchant people through my work. I want to make the world (or maybe just one persons) life better with the skills I have and am continuing to learn. I always say that if I can make even just one person smile, then it's been a great day. I try to stick to that and help bring joy into the simplest and/or smallest things. Sometimes I get so caught up in thinking about the future...how to promote myself, where to work, among other life stresses...I forget to start in the moment where I am. Even writing this blog could be considered one of those moments; if it helps inspire someone to take a look around and breathe during a busy day. I think we're all capable of enchanting others in our own unique way. We just need to remember that.

    It is SO easy to get ahead of yourself. I find myself there all the time. :)

    I LOVE this book too! I see many different applications to my every day life and it definitely makes me think that a lot of people underestimate the power of simple acts of kindness that cause enchantment. One of my favorite quotes is "Spread love wherever you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier". I think this is a motivating quote to always keep in the back of your mind. Showing genuine care to everyone you encounter is a simple, yet powerful way to enchant people.

    I'm right there with you about thinking too much about the future at times. When it starts affecting the current situations I'm in, I need to step back and breathe.

    I'm also with you about making people smile. I've mentioned in my blog that the best part of my job is seeing the fans smile. By the way, you do it well!

    Kaitlyn- That is one of my favorite quotes as well; and I agree that it is something so simple, and yet it have one of the biggest impacts on people.
    Lee- Thank you very much! I hope to always do so.
