I can inspire or challenge you, maybe I'm doing better than you, or your doing better than me.
Sometimes I feel good like I've done so much and other times like I ain't done enough.
Especially as a bus driver, I barely have free time and then it has to be divided up into exercise, chores, kids etc..but still, I've been able to make a documentary a web series and a short film.
I'm passionate about telling stories and I cant stop even if I tried. What I've learnt is that small steps lead to giant leaps, so even if all I've done this week is record some audio, or animate a scene, or edit a scene then at least I did what i could.
I also realise I'm getting bored scrolling through Instagram and youtube these days, I've watched everything on Netflix and NOWTV already so half the time I would normally spend doing that stuff, I now spend networking or writing or something, anything that's gonna take me further away from my day job to my day dream job.
If your inspired by this then I'm happy to be a part of that positive energy transfer, if this challenges you to step your game up then I'm happy to be a part of that chemical reaction,
If your ahead of me and you already live this, then I'm happy to be a cog in the machine.
Feel free to message me, swap stories or partner up!
Kai.

What a great subject line...And an awesome IY post. Fantastic to have you and all your positive energy here in the community, Kai!
Yeah I'm squeezing every hour out of the day that I possibly can, so at the end of the week I've got something to show for it which motivates for the next week.
I've actually been think of a way to incorporate my day job into a short film. Bus driving can be monotonous but I'm sure I can find an element to throw in the mix to make it interesting.
Thanks and my positive energy is 100% recyclable, I get it from others and I try my best to give it back.

I love your positive energy and wish you the best, Kai! Sometimes when I need to think through a creative problem, I'll take a long drive and just let it live in my subconscious. Maybe your bus routes are getting your creative juices going!

Hey Kai! I'm in London too. You're doing a great job out there so thank you for that regardless and do keep yourself safe and well. Good luck with all this amazing proactive stuff you're doing with film making. Really inspiring hearing what you had to say and made me feel so humbled that I've not been as active in developing my own dreams when I believe I have a lot more time to do just that. Shameful.
Thanks for the positive kick!

Kai, great message my friend! I love the positive energy, the world needs more of it.
Yeah Kaitlin it's so true! Sometimes people ring the bell to get off the bus and I'm in my own world thinking about an idea. My job definitely gives me alot of time to brainstorm.
Hey Sara and thanks it's good to be appreciated, I've been working right through both lockdowns and so far so safe. Don't be too hard on yourself though because finding motivation and inspiration in the middle of a pandemic isn't the easiest thing to do but today when I woke up, instead of criticising myself I did the opposite and looked at what I have accomplished not what I haven't.
Nice one Thomas I hear you
Especially in times like this, the world needs entertainment and escapism so I feel like we providing a public service.
