Sometimes the only thing that stands in your way is a little image of yourself that you have in your head. When I was younger, I was lousy at all sports. I was in terrible shape and I couldn’t throw things far. All that ball kicking wasn’t my thing. The self-image was etched in my head as a child. I'm bad at doing physical things.

Today I am 26 and run eight kilometers three times a week, I have done boxing, yoga and other types of fitness. I am an incredibly physical individual and I love to keep going. But the image remains. I see myself as the guy who was chosen last for sports during recess at school.

A bit of the same goes for most things. And if I get a good idea for a T-shirt print, a bunch of voices appear in my head. They laugh at me and say that I’m not some designer, that it costs money to print T-shirts or to start a clothing line or a t-shirt collection. So I discard the idea I had for a stylish t-shirt  and go watch TV instead. But here I press pause.

Sometimes the only thing that stands in your way is a little image of yourself you have in your head. Insert the index finger and a thumb into your head and grab the little boy standing on the gravel and pull him out of through the ear, it’ll work because he is very small. Then, put him in a small box of candy cars. Done. The image is gone from your head. It's your choice.

And about printing T-shirts, I have a plan. There is something called print on demand. You go to a website and upload your T-shirt print in the form of a graphic image or photograph or you can design T-shirt on the page with a T-shirt editor. When the print is finished, upload it to your own online store. It won’t cost you a thing. And when people find your store and see your beautiful print they can buy a few copies of the shirt and you get some of the money.

A print on demand site I can recommend is www.spreadshirt.com.
