📣 Reflecting on the path we've walked and the knowledge gained along the way. 🚶‍♀️💭 Have you ever found yourself contemplating what you would have done differently if you had known 10 years ago what you know now? 🤔 The realization of how our lives might have been shaped by that knowledge can be both intriguing and thought-provoking. But here's another question: Would you share this newfound wisdom with others? 🌟 The power of sharing experiences and insights can have a profound impact on those around us. It can inspire them to overcome their own limitations and find strength in their journey. Join me on this journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of shared knowledge, using as background an artistic challenge I took part in last year. Follow, engage, and share this post with others. Together, we can create a community where strength and growth flourish.

Text from the video:

Hi, this time without the noisy interference caused by the wind. My name is Joanna Hinc, and in addition to being a 3D and 2D Artisan, I also suffer from Multiple Sclerosis. Mmm, yeah… This year marks 10 years since it was confirmed, and I have been thinking for some time now about what I would have done differently if I had known 10 years ago what I know now. Therefore, I have made the choice to share my experiences and thoughts, not only concerning the MS aspect but also regarding the limitations these obstacles impose on professional development and how to effectively overcome them. And in all of this I also intend to post tutorials and useful tips for working in various 3D and 2D programs - partly as a diversion from difficult health / disabilities topics and partly as a demonstration that it's possible for people with helath problems. I also intend to share tough cases, such as my participation in the ArtStation challenge in mid-2022 - "Dragon Rise": Character design and the second stage of the chalange Game Character Art (real-time). Yes, I was already thinking about doing all of this at that time... Soo, why the delay? I didn't have time; I moved twice between the ArtStation challenge ending and now. The first was within Poland, and still having a full-time job, I moved for the second time - from Poland to Ireland, and that one was heavy. For my health, especially my nerves... It wasn't the move itself that affected my mental state - on the contrary, it was a positive change. Rather, it was the sheer number of tasks I had to juggle that took a toll on my well-being. And to preserve my health, particularly my nerves, I had to take a step back, find moments to rest, and regain a sense of calmness... Still working on it though... but it's better! Anyway, I would like to share with you my observations, through this video series, about the whole challenge, specifically from the point of view of a person with limited capabilities. What the challenge actually became for me - how much one wants versus how much one can. I will probably also include my overall impression of the challenge and try to give you an idea of the subjects I will be talking about on this channel, and I will also tell you something about myself so that you get to know me better. Probably quite a lot... So, I think that my story can help others, not only to become more open about their problems but also to seek strength and ways to fight their own limitations. So, consider this as an armor, forged from the experiences of someone else. So! Don't forget to follow, like, share and see you next time! Bye, Bye!
