Let's play a game today
This is a game where you're fully in charge of your ability to self-lead your decisions, mind, and doubts - and bet against me.
And when you win (which you will, of course) having completed the challenge, I promise you highly noteworthy prizes.
The only catch is: the strength of the proof is heavily reliant on your actions and your commitment to this for 70 days.
Your ability to take charge of your interests and creativity can be more fun, useful, and powerful than you might know.
Can you make it?
If it sounds like a lot, that's the point; the prizes are high too. In fact, the rewards are so high that you know it will be worth winning. The risk is so low that you have no doubts about committing to your actions. And your actions are so powerful that you choose to perform no matter what.
There are so many wins possible, like these:
- Every daily action building your abilities upward.
- Your flexibility in thinking and problem-solving transfering to multiple areas of personal and professional life.
- Finding multiple options and solutions to seemingly permanent blockades, and creating alternative solutions even if none exist.
- Taking on the commitment in evolving contexts, life, emotions, hurdles and rewards.
"I tried" doesn't count.
The reality is that you either win, or you don't.
There's no in-between.
Are you ready?
Game rules to win
Pick your creative form → do it consistently for 70 days → tell me your reward(s).
Simple enough?
Anyone's welcome to try this challenge, regardless of title, position, degree, age or context. You can be from any personal, professional or academic realm.
You have the option to try one of my ideas below:
- Draw
- Try photography
- Do one random, brand-new thing you've never done before
- Take up another creative form or option, as long as it's not covered in your daily routine program at school or work
Whichever medium of play you choose, it must be carried forward for the entire duration of the given timeline - no breaks!
I have chosen our timeline of 70 days (because it's my challenge, after all).
Why I started this challenge
I realized that what seemed to be a far reach for many was actually a cart of free gifts waiting to be claimed with ease. Creativity or art remained the healthiest and most productive experiment, including:
- Colours
- Pictures of nature
- Trying a new random thing any day.
This is an experiment
Just like any experiment, this one requires courage and audacity to take risks amid considerable uncertainty.
But here's what I told myself:
- Every blend of colours can explode in unintended ways.
- Every first click of a camera, angled with a new intention, can become something unexpected.
- And every random new thing I do forces quick thinking and creates an opportunity to explore undiscovered possibilities.
I leaned into this play .
What did I win?
Everything continued to happen the way it needed to, not the way I wanted it to. I believed there were always other possibilities, and my problem-solving became stronger.
| What didn't work out | What happened instead |
|---|---|
| No expected colour stain or blend in my drawing. | I discovered new colours, blends, and lines that I love. |
| No perfect first picture of a tree. | I created original photos with nature, a condor and zero anxiety about being robotic in my pursuit of perfection. |
| No expected results in randomness. | I became more decisive with random outcomes. I learned that experience is created as a result of doing - not over-contemplating myself into wasting time. |
| I was rejected from a job I applied to. | I created my own. |
What I learned
- Multiple ways of being exist. You don't have to fit a mould according to anything or anyone else.
- Perfection was an obstacle.
- Fear can exist with and without action. And fear or fluctuating motivation doesn't control anyone.
Ready, set, play!
Now, it's your turn.
Everything is worth your time if you make use of the unexpected.
The more you experiment with art around and within you, the stronger your muscle becomes to withstand grievances and discover new ways of optimizing blissful and adventurous times.
You're welcome to prove me wrong by Day 70.
Ready, set, game.
