In 2022, I published my first children’s book. It was based on a bedtime story I made up to help my son fall asleep. From the start, I had a clear vision of how I wanted the book to feel—colorful, engaging, and full of imagination. A year later, I published another children’s book - same goal with a completely different story.
What made both projects special wasn’t just the stories themselves, but how naturally the process unfolded. I worked at my own pace, on my own terms, and collaborated with talented people from around the world—folks I’ve never even met in person, from Indonesia to Ohio. And I loved every step of it.
I’ve noticed a pattern in my life: everything I’ve been able to bring to life—whether it’s renovating a space or diving into a scientific project—has always started with a vision. Once that vision is clear, the motivation it brings is almost unstoppable.
But vision alone isn’t enough. It needs the right timing and the right resources. When those three things align—vision, timing, and resources—there’s a natural flow that makes even the biggest projects feel effortless.
Just some food for thought. Have you had a vision for something lately? Maybe now’s the time to bring it to life.
