if you don't want to sit here next year feeling stuck and disappointed because you didn't make time for the things you've been dreaming about then it's time to change something in 2023 I made

如果你不想明年坐在這裡感到困住和失望，因為你沒有為你一直夢想的事情騰出時間，那麼是時候做出改變了。2023 年我做了

a decision that felt both exciting and terrifying well actually mainly terrifying because to focus deeply on my creativity I had no other choice than to step back from running my Successful video

一個既興奮又可怕的決定，嗯，其實主要是可怕，因為要深度專注於我的創意，我別無選擇只能從經營成功的影片公司退出

agency what the I did not have a plan but I couldn't spend another year wondering what if because after years of creating for others I'd lost my creative

我的天。我沒有計劃，但我不能再花一年時間想著如果當初怎樣，因為在為別人創作多年後，我失去了我的創意

voice and I somehow had to find it back it hasn't been easy but it's been worth it looking back now I'm starting to see what I was searching for all along that

聲音，我必須想辦法找回它。這不容易，但很值得。現在回頭看，我開始看到我一直在尋找的東西，那個

creative voice it was never lost you know I just had to find me again because that's where my creativity lives if you've been feeling stuck creatively Maybe it's time to take your own leap

創意聲音，它從未丟失，你知道，我只是必須重新找到自己，因為那就是我的創意所在。如果你一直感到創意上的困境，也許是時候做出你自己的跳躍了

but just know that no one can guarantee that it won't hurt a little today I'm sharing what last year taught me and why this could be your most creative year

但要知道，沒有人能保證這不會有點痛。今天我要分享去年教會我的，以及為什麼這可能是你最有創意的一年

yet so why would you want a creative year Well I believe that there might be something life-changing about working on what truly matters to you it might be

那麼為什麼你會想要一個有創意的一年呢？我相信專注於真正對你重要的事情可能會改變你的人生。對每個人來說可能

different for everyone else but for me it really is and for me dedicating time to Passion projects it just brought me so much personal growth and in less than

不一樣，但對我來說確實如此。對我來說，花時間在熱情專案上，真的帶給我很多個人成長。在不到

a year I've gained much more confidence much more trust in myself and I'm just really feeling a much stronger connection to who I am not too long ago I had something what

一年的時間裡，我獲得了更多自信，更多對自己的信任，而且我真的感受到與自己更強烈的連結。不久前我有一些

most people would consider as a dream career I co-founded a Crea a video agency together with my best friend but as the business was growing so did all the responsibilities we had more clients

大多數人會認為是夢想職業的東西。我和我最好的朋友一起創辦了一家影片公司。但隨著業務增長，責任也增加了。我們有更多客戶

more management also more deadlines and what started as a pursuit of creativity for me became something totally different so when I choose to quit the agency I didn't have a Grand Vision or a

更多管理工作，也有更多截止日期。對我來說，最初追求創意的東西變成了完全不同的東西。所以當我選擇離開公司時，我沒有宏偉的願景或

grand plan I was actually on a really low point in my life I just felt one thing really deep and that was that I needed to create space for creativity

宏大的計劃。我其實處於人生的低穀。我只是深深感受到一件事，那就是我需要為創意騰出空間

again so I gave myself a challenge one year to focus creative growth and with my creative year I decided to prioritize P projects of course I still had to pay

所以我給自己一個挑戰，用一年時間專注於創意成長。在我的創意年，我決定優先處理熱情專案。當然我還是得付

bills so I did freelance work just enough to get by but the rest of the time that was mine your version of the creative year might look totally

帳單，所以我做自由職業工作，剛好夠維生。但剩餘的時間是我自己的。你版本的創意年可能看起來完全

different than mine you know maybe it's finally starting on a YouTube channel for you that you've been dreaming about or spending more time on photography painting whatever makes you feel alive

和我的不同。也許是終於開始一個你一直夢想的 YouTube 頻道，或者花更多時間在攝影、繪畫、任何讓你感到活著的事情上

but I think the most important part is deciding to prioritize creativity and making room for in your life and that is something you can do right now and I think you

但我認為最重要的部分是決定優先考慮創意，並為它在你的生活中騰出空間。這是你現在就可以做的事情，我認為你

should of course this is just my experience but one of the hardest things about starting a creative journey is well you probably guess it starting when

應該這樣做。當然這只是我的經驗，但開始創意之旅最困難的事情之一是，你可能猜到了，開始。當

I sat down to work on my first personal project I was overwhelmed by all the things that I wanted to do I wanted to give YouTube another try again I wanted

我坐下來做我的第一個個人專案時，我被所有想做的事情淹沒了。我想再試一次 YouTube，我想

to create a short film I wanted to do all these small interviews with the people on the streets I don't know the possibilities were endless so instead of feeling inspired I completely froze so

製作一部短片，我想在街上和人做各種小訪談。我不知道，可能性是無窮的。所以我沒有感到受啟發，反而完全僵住了。所以

what helped me in the end was uh simplifying it uh I really picked the smallest project there was and I focused on just finishing that and I really

最後幫助我的是簡化它。我真的選了最小的專案，然後專注於完成它。我真的

think that taking that small step put me to to the next step and the next and the next and now one year later I did all those things and even more and I started

認為邁出那一小步讓我走向下一步，再下一步，再下一步。現在一年後，我做了所有那些事情，甚至更多。我開始了

this YouTube channel and I'm 100% sure I could have only done this by starting small also by doing these things I really learned much more about what I

這個 YouTube 頻道，我百分之百確定只有從小處開始才能做到這一點。而且透過做這些事情，我真的學到了更多關於我

wanted to do and what I wanted to focus on the direction that I wanted to go became much clearer by just allowing myself to experiment so if you're just

想做什麼、想專注於什麼。我想走的方向變得更加清晰，只是透過允許自己去嘗試。所以如果你才剛

starting anything my advice would be this don't overthink it don't overthink it this is one of the hardest things to do for me as well so let me repeat this

開始任何事情，我的建議是這樣：不要想太多。不要想太多。這對我來說也是最難做到的事情之一，所以讓我再說一次

for myself and for you do not overthink it yes I did buy this thing just for this video then I think it's important to prioritize and have a plan because we

給我自己和你聽：不要想太多。是的，我確實只為了這支影片買了這個東西。然後我認為有計劃和優先順序很重要，因為我們

all know there's never a perfect time to start life will always happen and even though we know it we still wait for something and I always used to wait for

都知道永遠沒有開始的完美時機。生活總是會發生，即使我們知道這一點，我們仍然在等待某些東西。我以前總是等待

the right moment when work slowed down or also when I had more energy I was really waiting a lot for when I had more energy but they really were just excuses

對的時機，等工作慢下來，或者等我有更多精力。我真的一直在等我有更多精力的時候，但那些真的只是藉口

if you want this you have to prioritize it now I don't know what your life looks like and what kind of responsibilities you have but most likely you will have

如果你想要這個，你必須現在就把它列為優先。我不知道你的生活是什麼樣子，你有什麼樣的責任，但很可能你需要

to sacrifice something to make time for your creative needs I think it's even more important to come up with a plan and talk about it with people in your

犧牲一些東西來為你的創意需求騰出時間。我認為更重要的是制定一個計劃，並和你生活中的人討論

life so that they know what you're going to do and but that they also know why it's important to you so they can support you because I think that's

讓他們知道你要做什麼，也讓他們知道為什麼這對你很重要，這樣他們可以支援你，因為我認為

really important to have the support days the bottom line is it's your creative year so no one else will make time for it so you're going to have

有那些支援日真的很重要。底線是這是你的創意年，所以沒有其他人會為它騰出時間，所以你必須

to self-doubt is a subject that I talked about a lot um this is because it's been a really big subject in my life and last year there was a lot of self-doubt there

自我懷疑是我常談的話題。這是因為它在我生命中一直是個大課題。去年有很多自我懷疑。有

were so many moments when I thought is it even worth it what if I'm not good enough what the hell am I doing that critical voice in your head can be such

很多時刻我會想，這真的值得嗎？如果我不夠好怎麼辦？我到底在做什麼？你腦中那個批評的聲音可以是如此

an those doubt outs never fully disappear but over time you do get better at working through them so they still pop up but they just don't hold as

討厭。那些懷疑永遠不會完全消失，但隨著時間你會越來越擅長處理它們。它們仍然會出現，但它們不再像以前那樣

much power as they used to some of my favorite projects almost didn't happen because I wanted to quit when things got tough but I kept going and now looking

有那麼大的力量。我最喜歡的一些專案差點沒發生，因為當事情變難時我想放棄。但我堅持下去了，現在回頭看

back I can really see how much growth came from pushing through those hard moments the perfect example of this is of course my first YouTube video where that story explains itself the dream was

我真的可以看到，堅持過那些困難時刻帶來了多少成長。最好的例子當然是我的第一支 YouTube 影片，那個故事不言自明。夢想是

that I wanted to be a YouTuber okay so it's very obvious but growth is a process and the thing is for me I really struggle seeing that even

我想成為一個 YouTuber。好的，這很明顯，但成長是一個過程。問題是對我來說，我真的很難看到這一點，即使

even though I knew it I mean in the moment you often just won't experience the growth it's it's always like months and months later that you look back to

我知道這一點。我的意思是在當下你通常不會體驗到成長。總是要幾個月幾個月後你才會回顧

yourself and think wow I actually learned something there and I just experienced that a lot of growth can happen in just one year A lot can happen

自己然後想，哇，我其實在那裡學到了一些東西。我剛剛體驗到一年內可以發生很多成長。一年內可以發生很多事

in one year and I would say it's also very important to remember that if it's not hard it probably won't make you grow it's always the hard things that that

我還想說，記住如果不難的話，它可能不會讓你成長。總是那些困難的事情讓

that make you grow also creatively it's fun but it's also hard so last year I had this idea of making a short film by just talking with people on the streets about life and

你成長。創意也是一樣，它很有趣，但也很難。所以去年我有這個想法，製作一部短片，就是在街上和人談論人生，並且

make it in a cinematic way when I thought about this project everything L lit up in me I was so stoked and I wrote WR like a treatment I sent it to some

用電影感的方式呈現。當我想到這個專案時，我內心的一切都亮了起來。我超級興奮，我寫了一個企劃案，發給一些

people and I really wanted to make it but when it was time to create it I almost quit I really doubted the ID I didn't trust myself anymore I didn't

人，我真的很想做。但當要真正製作的時候，我差點放棄。我真的開始懷疑這個想法，我不再相信自己了，我不

trust the ID and I really felt that it wasn't going to work but the thing was i' already asked some friends to help so we already had picked up time and a date

相信這個想法，我真的覺得它不會成功。但問題是我已經請了一些朋友來幫忙，所以我們已經定好了時間和日期

somewhere to film seriously on the Daye of filming I really felt like not doing it like I really wanted to walk away I really want wanted to say to the guys

和拍攝地點。說真的，在拍攝當天，我真的不想做了，我真的想走開，我真的想跟那些人說

sorry guys but I don't think it's going to work or call in sick but I mean I couldn't do that because they were there and you know what it really turned out

抱歉，我不覺得會成功，或者打電話說我生病了。但我的意思是我不能那樣做，因為他們都在那裡了。你知道結果怎樣，它真的變成

to be one of my favorite projects really that's kind yeah making time for your own creative needs and actually creating something that was not there before that is something to be

我最喜歡的專案之一。真的，是的。為你自己的創意需求騰出時間，並真正創造一些以前不存在的東西，這是值得

really really proud of so you should be proud of yourself no matter if your creation is perfect or a little bit less perfect you may and you should be proud

真正驕傲的事情。所以你應該為自己感到驕傲，不管你的創作是完美的還是稍微不那麼完美。你可以而且應該為自己感到驕傲

of yourself I think it's something you can practice and the little winds you know they add up and they inspire you to take the next step in the

。我認為這是你可以練習的事情，那些小小的勝利，你知道，它們會累積起來，激勵你邁出下一步，再

next I mean these are just lessons that maybe other people tell you as well but I had to hear these lessons so many times as well to finally understand it

下一步。我的意思是這些只是也許其他人也會告訴你的教訓，但我必須聽很多次這些教訓才終於理解

and to finally take action and to finally feel it you know there's difference between just hearing some somebody say it and sometimes hear it from someone that you really feel it so

並最終採取行動，最終感受到它。你知道，只是聽某人說和真正感受到是不一樣的，有時候從某個人那裡聽到讓你真正感受到。所以

I really hope that I can reach that with the videos you don't have to quit your job or completely change your life could be as simple as just picking up your

我真的希望我能透過這些影片達到那個效果。你不必辭職或徹底改變你的生活。可以簡單到只是拿起你的

camera for the first time in years or maybe start drawing or playing an instrument every evening after dinner there's so much Beauty to find in creativity you know of course everything I shared are

相機，這可能是幾年來的第一次。或者也許每天晚餐後開始畫畫或彈奏樂器。創意中有很多美好等待你發現。你知道，當然我分享的一切都

just my thoughts about it and I think it's important to find out what works for you because probably different things work for different people um but it's important to find out what works

只是我自己的想法，我認為找出什麼對你有用很重要，因為可能不同的事情對不同的人有用。但找出什麼對你有用很重要

for you so you should do that by trying I believe and remember don't not over think it your creativity is worth it

所以你應該透過嘗試來做到這一點，我相信。記住，不要想太多。你的創意是值得的
