Starting a Journey: Why It's Tough, but Worth It

The Two Driving Forces Behind Every New Beginning

Whenever we start something new, I think that – at a very fundamental level – we are driven by either a strong curiosity towards the unknown and what we can discover if we start diving into it, or some sort of thirst for payback. We want to prove to the people around us that we can do it and get good results.

Whatever the reason that prompts us to take the very first steps – whether it’s starting to learn a new technology, exploring no-code tools, or simply improving our daily habits – that initial feeling we think could be able to change our fate is going to fade away pretty quickly compared to the time that is actually required to start seeing the results of our efforts. I guess we all experimented with something like that at least once. And it doesn’t have to be something as ambitious as starting a new business or changing career. In fact, it often happens in daily life, when we start going to the gym, paying more attention to nutrition, sleeping more, and being more thoughtful to the people around us…

The Fading Spark and the Reality of Persistence

Why does this happen? Being not an expert, I don’t have an answer. It might just be that the chemical reactions in our brain only last for a very short period of time. Also, as its first priority, our brain does its best to protect us – which does not always match with what is actually better for us –, and embarking on a new journey by breaking the habits and going out of our comfort zone is something that requires a lot of energy. It is very stressful, especially at the very early stages, when almost everything we do has not become a habit yet – or something we are somewhat used to.

The Solitude of the Journey

Walking in life is not as straightforward as walking on a street can be. We do not have a map, streets always change, and asking other people for directions most of the time does not lead to where we want to go because every one of us sees a different world. We can communicate, share our experiences and points of view, but we cannot see with the eyes of someone else. People are like grains of sand on the seashore: they are countless and close, but they are all unique, somewhat separated from each other.

This talk is clearly supporting an idea that I personally don’t like – maybe just because I’m a human, or maybe because it’s not reassuring at all: Whatever the journey we decide to take, we essentially walk alone. No one is going to take us where we want to go. We have the responsibility to decide which direction to take at each turning point, and no one will fuel up our energy or raise our motivation. Of course, the connections we make with other people along the way, the inspiration we get, and the experience we build by interacting with the world around us can spark our imagination and become a great source of motivation. But it’s all up to us and how we decide to see and perceive the world around us.

The Power of Individual Perspective

Everything boils down to the individual approach we decide to take: we can decide to embrace our fears or constantly refuse, fight, and get defeated by them; we can be scared of failure and think that failing means being a loser, or we can think that it just means we’re still not good enough and that it’s just a matter of time. We can hide ourselves behind the belief we’re not talented (which is true, most of the time) and give up on our dreams, or we can be patient, committed, and walk at our own pace to go as far as our feet can take us. It doesn’t really matter if we can’t be the best at what we do.

These words are flowing on this digital paper because I try to repeat them to myself every single day, wishing not to be overwhelmed by both my ambition and the feeling I’ll never be enough for myself.

Sharing Knowledge to Empower Others

For this reason, I’m doing my best to share my knowledge with the people around me, hoping that knowledge will turn into useful tools that will speed up other peoples’ journeys. This is my mission at Supasaito, where I’m responsible for nurturing and improving our Academy. My goal is to make it increasingly helpful to anyone stepping into the fascinating world of no-code and eager to learn as much as possible about this outstanding technology.

What I aspire to create – and what we’re working towards at Supasaito – is a space where people can learn and grow at an accelerated pace, a place they can always return to for guidance, inspiration, or new knowledge to fuel their growth and empower their business ventures.

That’s why our work at Supasaito means a lot to me. We’re not just building courses—we’re building momentum. Every lesson, every resource, is designed to make this journey more approachable, especially for those who are just stepping into the world of no-code and digital creation.

Join Us on This Journey

There's still a long road ahead, but we're pursuing it with great passion. If you want to take your first step, but still don't know where to begin, join our Academy and start your journey with us. Together, we can make it even better.

Have an awesome journey,
Francesco from Supasaito
