My name is Ana and here’s my story:

My path, probably, is not that unique.

They said I have to go to college and get my wooden framed diploma, to be worth something.

I did exactly that, learning things from 100-years old professors, who’ve never worked a day in my fast-pacing field.

Many people don’t pay enough attention to technological advancements; so, they wrap themselves in debts in exchange for an outdated education.

I might be much better off with books, blog posts and videos from real makers.

Then they said I have to get a job in a fancy place, where people gossip all the time near the water cooler.

I did precisely that and spent the next ten year working my tail off. 12-14 hours per day. No vacations. Ever.

To please the unpleasable.

They also said I have to get married and be a good wife: work, cook, clean, care.

I did all that. Everything that society expects me to do.

It brought me to a very whimsy place.

Cluttered with things I was relentlessly purchasing to feel happier.

Completely burnt out.

Let go by the boss.

Lost all my savings in an attempt to support the business venture of my ex-husband.

Support, that’s what good wifies are supposed to give, right? 

But rather than cry that life wasn’t fair, I took it as a positive turn.

I start reading a lot. Probably two, three hundreds of self-help books, hundreds of thousands of self-help videos. 

Three of them have completely changed me and my way of thinking.

For a month I was doing mental experiments while reading Pam Grout’s E-Squared, trying to make my peace with the fact that thought becomes a reality.

I was breaking a habit of being myself with the help of Dr.Joe Dispenza. I was figuring out why I think the way I think and that helped me to shift my mental patterns. I never looked back.

I got mesmerized by the beauty of brain inner working and neuroscience.

Then I stumbled upon Brain. The story of you, by David Eagleman and got completely blown away. I was a master of my reality. And it wasn’t another marketing mambo jumbo.

I wish someone told me about those books earlier…

But sooner or later I finally was able to take control of my life.

I was completely free.

I focus on what I can control.

If you’re not satisfied with where you are, then reach higher.

I could’ve wasted the next couple of years pursuing a career, building another family.

Instead, I became a writer.  And a traveler. I do only things I love.

On my way, I figured, that creating value for others has never been as easy. And that’s exactly what I want to do in all my ventures.
