Obstacles will slow you down until you find a way around it. Stoppers will prevent you from moving forward. If you have a stopper in your way preventing you from achieving your goals, turn it into an obstacle and get around it.
Anything pizza like
Have you ever observed someone else do something very well and wished you could do that just like them? I’m a writer, so I’ll pick on writing. There are some pretty talented writers out there. J. K. Rowling, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Tess Gerritsen, just to name a few, are some them. We would all like to write like them. Truth be told, no one can write like them because no one else is them. I am me, so I can only write like me. You are you, so you can only write like you. We are all different, thank God. If we all wrote like the each other, stories would be pretty boring. What we can do is improve our writing to be the best us we can be.
Do you feel as though life is nothing but a journey uphill? Do you feel as though running downhill for a change would feel real nice? Stop. Not so fast. When your journey in life is a constant uphill struggle, are you learning along the way? On the other side of that hill, if you are running downhill at a constant momentum, are you learning along the way? Or are you going so fast that those opportunities to learn soar right by at the speed of light?
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?
Something comfortable 😌
Standing in the dark, does your imagination run wild? Yes? Good…let it. It will serve you well. Add to that the pack of tense, fearful emotions felt at the time. Remember the experience as you’re living it. Then write it down to use it later in a story.
If you feel like giving up, don’t. If successes aren’t finding you, wait. They will be along in due time. If something needs to be done, do it. It very well could be that added “ingredient” needed for success. If you quit, you won’t find that “ingredient” because you didn’t do what needed to be done.
There will be bumps and rocks along the way that will try to interrupt your flow. But, if you stay in the game, your situation and all you are trying to achieve will pass right over those rocks and bumps and create a beautiful “picture”.
In the roar of the ocean
the waves whisper–
breezes tickle–
feathering their way
over waters so vast,
conducting a symphony
so loud yet so fair.
WRITE TIME AND AGAIN
