It's so necessary to follow your inclinations, to fill every day with positive emotions and to work not only for money but for your soul)
I am on my way to one of my goals, to become a good illustrator, designer, and artist!
All my life I tried to improve my skills in arts, I even graduated the Art University, but I have never touched the digital aspect of this sphere.
And finally one year ago I decided to do this, I took the Illustrator courses and successfully finished it. It was my first time when I draw in Adobe Illustrator, and I fell in love in this program from the first time)
In 5 months after Illustrator courses when I was confident of my knowledge and experiences I moved ahead and started working on Upwork!
It's just a small step to my goal and I didn't stop and every day I'm improving my knowledge and going to my dream.
Here are some of my works)

Children's textile design:
All I wanted to show you, that no matter what you are doing today, who you are, what your job is...
It’s never too late to start learning, to get hand in the things that you really like. It is possible to leave your current job and start your own business, something you have dreamed about all your life! It's so great to do what you love! I’m not talking now about the huge earnings that this business will bring to you, but I can tell you for sure that your favorite work and business will bring you much more than the work that you do not want to go to!
Please, share your experience) Have you ever left your job for the favorite pastime? Or maybe you have another story to tell us and to encourage the others?
With love,
Anastasia Foxelle
Lovely.
Thank you)
Nice! Welcome and I'm glad to see you posting but would like to see more!
For me, I got a degree in music knowing full well it was practically useless, but you never know where these things go. Now I've composed music for some movies, commercials etc, and I teach Composition and theory to high school kids, and I run the science-branch of Steem, called SteemSTEM because... why not? I'm passionate about more than just music, so why limit myself to what my degree was?
LIfe works in funny ways =)
Agree) We shouldn't stop and make some limits! My degree is a translator, but I work in a football club with a different position and in my own time I'm trying to study design and other spheres)
Woah seems like you're a multi-talent, or 'jack of all trades' perhaps?
We kinda need artists for our project if you're interested, BTW =D May even need some clothing merch (we attempted this before the fall of crypto value, may try again in the future) so I'll follow you just in case, hit me up if you are happy to help =D
It's always fun to have a reminder that I am on the right way. Almost one year ago I left 10 years of service in the army to look for a better balance between work and life. This year I have discovered steemit for example. If you are interested you can check out my blog that I have just started @kawoq. There I am going to in the upcoming posts about my experiences this year 😀
Very inspiring introduction post. I think the most important thing in life is to always make progress, and even better, make progress with your passion. I think it's so true about what you said "it's never too late to start learning."
One example I'd like to share is that before I got married, my wife and I wanted to take ballroom dance lessons for our wedding dance. I was not a very good dancer at all but I did have an athletic background. After our wedding, I had enjoyed it so much that I continued ballroom dance for 2 years and performed in competitions.
The whole experience was a wakeup call for me that I could take anything and apply enthusiasm and be happy learning something new.
Although I don't dance anymore (I've got 3 kids, lol), I take that same energy and apply it to my daily life.
Great post and look forward to more!
Thank you so much for sharing the story life) It'so cool and exciting to know about the other's stories! I agree with every word you said! Thank you again for such great feedback from your side!
