If you have been following this blog, you would notice that I am one of the worst bloggers ever to exist on planet earth (not true). I write a blog post like once in every month and that's if I write at all. The problem isn't what to write about (although sometimes it is) but how to start writing. I cannot say it is procrastination because even procrastinators get the job done.
Early this year, I wrote the blog posts "Making New Year Resolutions" and "How to Make Your Resolutions Stick" to help us overcome the pitfalls of saying one thing and doing another (but oh was I wrong). I made plans and resolutions, I had targets and strategies, prepositions and all that stuffs showing how prepared I was to make 2016 the best year ever.
Then this happened:
Just like an athlete that started a 5000m race with maximum speed and realised that he could not make to the end of the race with that speed, I have come to the realisation that my speed has come to its minimum but I must finish the race.
I focused more on getting results that I forgot there were processes, activities and techniques I had to follow to achieve my dreams or reach my goals. Every progress I made within the first few months went down the drains when I decided to skip few steps to achieve one goal.
Deep in thoughts about getting back on track, I forgot my family and friends, how much they cared about me and how much they will be willing to help me grow. Pride, fear and distrust destroyed me even before I started.
The change:
The most important thing I have come to realize is that no matter how low I fall or how high I rise, my family and (real/fake) friends are always there with me. I can trust them and can rely on there love and hatred to make me stronger.
Been committed to a thing is not bad but I will make sure to raise my head every few minutes and enjoy the beauty around you. The world and everything in it is beautiful, close your eyes and feel it, open your arms wide and embrace it.
Learn to express emotions, whether love or anger, sadness or laughter, disgust or pleasure, pride or humility; your emotions help people understand you better. It makes you light: gets things off you chest/shoulders and you learn how to control this emotions faster than you can realize.
I am back on track now, and hopefully this time will be better.
