From the early days of the 2008 Financial Crisis, I had a strong yet vague desire to help as many Greeks as possible achieve their goals regardless of unfavorable circumstances. On October 25th 2014 at 2:43am I woke up with the idea of “inspresso” in my mind. Since 1/1/2015, every single day I have been sending what I call a “Daily Shot of Inspiration”.

The progress of the community was remarkable and every now and then I have been fiddling with the idea of an English version. Every time my thoughts where squashed by strong opposition “Who are you, coming from little Greece, to enter a Personal Development industry full of Titans and Legends? What more value can you offer?“.

During the last 12 months, the desire got stronger, especially as my “attitude identity” got clearer!

As Victor Hugo used to say:

there’s nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come

A few minutes before New Year’s Eve, I laid in bed with the thought “should I start the English version?” and right after, a verse from one of my favorite songs strikes my mind like a fierce lightning “but if you never try you’ll never know… just what you’re worth“. The song is “Fix You” by Coldplay, and oh what a serendipity that is, I felt that my heart was “fixed”!

When you decide to embrace the gift of your authentic desires, the Titans of doubt and fear give way to the biggest Titan of them all, divine inspiration.

So, here I am, celebrating the 5th Birthday of inspresso with my first Daily Shot of Inspiration in English!
