My name is Dorian Maciuk.
This is not a story about overnight success.
It?s a story about time, resilience, and the kind of decisions you make when life doesn?t follow the plan you had in mind.
When I was 12 years old, my life suddenly changed direction.
I moved from Wroc?aw to Mannheim.
Physically, I was in Germany.
Mentally, my heart stayed in Wroc?aw.
I didn?t just miss a city ? I missed the process of growing up there.
School. Friends. Language. Identity.
From that moment on, I carried one clear thought with me:
?I will come back one day.?

At 18, I was preparing my return.
At 19, I received a diagnosis.
Multiple Sclerosis.
At first, I thought it would pass.
Like a normal illness. Like something temporary.
But when my body started sending signals I couldn?t ignore anymore, reality hit hard.
I trusted the stereotype of German quality.
I believed medicine would fix it.
I believed someone would say: ?We can cure this.?
No one did.

There is something else that shaped me deeply ? and it?s often invisible.
For over 20 years, I have served as a lector.
I have also completed two terms as a member of the Parish Council of the Polish Catholic Mission in Mannheim.
Faith was never an escape for me.
It was ? and still is ? responsibility.
Over time, I began to understand something important:
God does not remove the cross.
He gives you one you are able to carry.
Without God, self-discipline alone would not be enough.
No system, no habit, no mindset would hold ? especially in moments when the body is weak and the mind is tired.
From the outside, you wouldn?t know I am ill.
People often tell me: ?You don?t look sick.?
But the truth is ?
I carry the struggle inside.
And that is exactly why discipline, structure, and faith are not motivational slogans for me.
They are daily tools for staying upright.
This journey is not about proving strength.
It is about faithful endurance, consistency, and choosing meaning ? even when no one sees the cost.
Life doesn?t stop.
I still wasn?t in Wroc?aw, where I dreamed of studying Artificial Intelligence.
Maybe one day AI could help find a cure.
Maybe I could be part of that solution myself.
So I started learning fields with real future potential:
During my Ausbildung as a Bürokaufmann, one question kept coming back:
What kind of work can I do ? even when my health doesn?t cooperate?

I realized I needed a type of work that is:
This wasn?t about lifestyle fantasies.
It was about survival and autonomy.
After finishing my Ausbildung, I continued:
Every step taught me something.
But something was still missing.
For a long time, I dreamed of building something of my own.
A platform that could grow together with me.
That?s how these projects were born:
Music never left me.
Emotion. Nostalgia. Truth.
Today, that passion is evolving.

I planned to start the Influencer Deluxe Challenge right away.
But I realized something important:
Strong systems need strong foundations.
So I?m starting with good habits.
Each stage includes:
No hype.
No fake motivation.
Just real life ? as it is.
On dorian-maciuk.com, I present the Influencer Deluxe Collection ? a concept that connects:
This is not just another online project.
It?s a system built from experience ? from illness, setbacks, learning, and persistence.
?then something in this story probably resonates with you.
This blog will become a living documentation of a journey ? not a perfect one, but an honest one.
And maybe, along the way, it will also help you shape your own.
? Stay. Follow. A new chapter begins now.
