"I'm truly happy and excited to be able to learn from people I can look up to"

I'm starting now the quest "Be Extraordinary" by Vishen and I'm very excited about the great ideas and concepts introduced in the beginning. I believe, I got to my awakening state in January 21 2018, when I watched the anime film "The Wind Rises" by Hayao Miyazaki. That energy and emotion in the film gave my victim state a big damage and I couldn't sleep that night. I was feeling so stressed, was going to cry, I wanted to shout and scream, my soul burned and I was just hearing the word "Freedom", again and again. Minute after minute, my mind was like it was exploding, my stomach started to hurt deeply and I was cold in my hands and foots. What the hell is going on I asked my self worried? After a half hour that felt like a few hours, I stood up and I got a pencil and paper, went to the kitchen, opened Pinterest and I started to draw. Why drawing? I just did, what I felt in that moment. When I realized the sun was going up, I realized something huge! 5 hours without even knowing, I was drawing? That was crazy for me. I had something, a passion towards art I recognized. And I'm practicing it for the first time in 8 years. I read and studied a lot but, I had even no beliefs that art could be an option for me. That was the night, the hours for me that fired me up and transformed me to the man I am today. I finished theology in 5 years but I didn't purchase any of the traditional ways. I worked as an intern in an animation studio for 10 months and now I'm trying to create my own business via Blogging and Podcasting. And for my art career, I'm learning and practicing for my skills beside my business. Yet in my journey, I'm sure that I'm totally an entrepreneur and artist but I have to figure out what type of career and skills I'll have to get to be the best version of myself. I want to be more confident and have the vision and the plan to purchase my dreams step by step with milestones. 

I want to understand more the human brain and my super powers as a human being. Jim Kwik, Jeffrey Allen, Ben Greenfield and Vishen gave me so so much for the last one year that I feel extremely deep gratitude about the reality of my own transformation. I'm truly happy and excited to be able to learn from people I can look up to. Without Mindvalley and without these passioned and great people, maybe my journey to know and meet them would be much more difficult. But eventually I'd find them because I was and am going to take the steps for the best version of myself. Thank you so much for everything Mindvalley! Best regards, Ali Tarik Ozer, Turkey
