: I’m overcomplicating things way too often. simple is the best. the easiest. the right way. so let’s… just keep it #simple.

: I’ve been thinking about #trust. not the big dramatic kind, not the “you can count on me forever” speeches. something much smaller.
yesterday my mechanic called me to say my car was ready. the bill was high, higher than I expected, and he kept apologising for it – explaining, justifying, almost defending himself. well, he’s a nice guy and just knew it’s a lot of money for me. and I caught myself saying: you don’t have to explain anything… it’s okay.
because in that moment I just trusted him. fully. without words, without effort. and that felt… really good.
I didn’t have to say “I #trust you.” I didn’t even think about saying it. I simply did. even with all the past mistakes, even with the times he messed something up and admitted it. even with all the imperfections. maybe because of them.
I realised how much easier #life feels when I decide to believe that #people are good. just simply good, by nature. that they’re not trying to trick me, not trying to make my day worse. they’re just doing their jobs, doing their best, trying to stay #calm in their own lives. and if I meet them halfway – even in these tiny #microrelations – something soft shows up. something human.
and standing there yesterday, listening to him apologise again, I felt one thing: #gratitude.
grateful that he took care of my car. grateful that he tried. grateful that this small moment reminded me of the way I actually want to live.
trusting makes me a calmer person. a better one, I think. and it’s quite easy.

: lately I’ve been thinking a lot about this one guy I sometimes work with – @jakub . not about him as a person – he’s fine, we could easily grab a beer together – but about his approach. because his approach is… well, let’s say different than mine, maybe less comfortable for me. sometimes even a bit annoying. and still, there’s something in it that keeps pulling me in.
it’s this strange mix: the first reaction is “ugh, why does he think like that,” and then the second reaction comes, quieter but stronger: “wait… maybe I can learn something from this.” and the funny thing is, the more different we are, the more I feel that little spark of #growth. sometimes it’s 5% of his thinking that hits me, sometimes it’s 70%, but there’s always something there. some small thing that changes the way I see my own #work. my own #life.
I think this is exactly what I mean when I talk about “less comfortable.” it’s the same idea I wrote about in my old Polish blog – “mniej wygodnie.” being nudged out of my soft, predictable space. not in a dramatic way, just in that everyday “ok, this is not my style, but maybe it’s good for me” kind of way.
and honestly, I need this. this friction. this difference. because without it, everything becomes too warm, too cozy, and nothing moves. I stay in the same patterns, doing the same things, thinking the same thoughts. and then I start drifting. I know myself too well.
so maybe that’s why this cooperation feels useful to me. not because we always agree – we definitely don’t – but because his way of thinking forces me to look at my own. and that’s exactly the kind of fuel I need for the life I’m building. my “was fine life.” I still don’t even know how to describe it perfectly in English, but it’s something like this: the life that grows when I let myself be pushed a little. even by people who think differently than I do.
and maybe that’s the whole point – sometimes the most unexpected people become tiny, quiet teachers. not by intention. just by being different enough to shake me up, even for a moment.

: sometimes, to make a #change, you just have to make a #change. a small one.
like changing the #direction where – or how – you #sleep. you know, upside down. just #sleep upside down.
start with this tiny thing and see what happens.
and if it doesn’t work, try something else.
change another small thing.
something will stick.
something will click.
and that one small thing might be the tip of the iceberg – the thing that changes everything.
just try. i’m #trying. small thing. another one.
