Believe In Yourself...

I just learned a big lesson in believing in myself today... I guess everyone goes through life sometimes not reaching as far as they can because they fear they will fail.
I tend to dream big with things and I've learned a lot of disappointment comes with that, but I still try even if I do not believe in myself. It is kinda like the lotto... if you don't play, you don't win... Although that is probably a really bad example since I never play the lotto.
Well today I became the top finalist in the 10 Squared design competition http://shelter.inthekoots.com/10-square-juried-finalists-announced/ and I am still in awe. I find it fun to draw designs by hand as you can see from other blog entries and when I saw the competition advertised I figured why not give it a shot... But then after the entries were posted I saw them all rendered in 3D or fancy sketches and figured my 2D hand drawings were not even going to make it anywhere. Well I am very surprised and happy, so thank you very much to all those that believe my design concept was unique enough to stand out from all the others.
