Behind the Poster: “This is my Origin Story”

The first hand lettered poster in my collection was inspired by the conjunction of 4 things:

1. comic books
2. a teaching from life coach and entrepreneur Brooke Castillo that we are always free to choose how we want to think about anything in our lives – including the really challenging stuff
3. the arrival of Covid-19
4. this post by entrepreneur Grand Cardone about how he was choosing to think about and respond to the increasing fear as Covid-19 began to spread globally:

Every superhero has an origin story. More often than not, it’s a dark period in their lives or a key moment of challenge when they decided to rise up. When they made a choice, and committed to a new direction, a new purpose.

This poster was designed for anyone who is in a period of darkness, struggle, or uncertainty.

Anyone who is stepping into the unknown, but who is determined to push through.

Determined to turn disadvantage into advantage.

Determined to succeed.
