Random Topic, Relevant Post

I am extremely selfish. By extremely, I mean really painfully selfish. you see, I will not write until I cannot convince myself that what I've written is worthy of being read. (If you have any doubts, notice the number of "I's" in this post.) Though some of you might say I've not been very good with that screening, but then, what do you know is worthy in my eyes? After all, Mjölnir is supposed to be worthy only of Thor. And who decides what makes Thor worthy? Of course, the answer is simple. Larry Lieber, Stan Lee & Jack Kirby.

That is not to say I didn't have ideas over these past few months. My over extended break had multiple reasons of procrastination. Exams were just an excuse to tell myself I don't need to write as this and that, blah blah blah. Pre and Post-exams, it was all about relaxing and chilling as i still had plenty of time till the next post was due. In my head. Yes, I set deadlines. Kind of.
So, these ideas. I had them mostly when I just got up and used to think I'd jot them down today. Maybe even post by tomorrow. But much like the proverbial words, tomorrow never came. So that kinda bogged me down. I'd think why I couldn't get to really find a crux of what I'm thinking and put it writing. Unlike a movie script, no eureka moment occurred.
Which is when I realized that maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to just create the moment. I mean, its technically not that hard. I could just fire up the laptop, find my blog and start writing the exact problem which I was going through. Which, as you can now clearly see, is in execution.
Now if you've read my stuff before you would know by now, I'm thinking of how to turn this into a relevant point of discussion. So, what is going through my mind is this:you may or may not like what you read here. You may decide to never visit this blog again or maybe love the way a point is made. What you cannot deny is that I did manage to create the moment. Or create an opportunity for me to finally get some writing done. After all, if I ever have a writer's block and decide to concede defeat and stop writing altogether, then what was the point in starting to write anything at all?
Now look at that. If the above sentence is true, doesn't that imply you're supposed to get stonewalled when you attempt to do something you want to do? Isn't it sort of relevant to the First law of motion? You're applying force towards a particular task. What makes you think the task ain't gonna respond, mate?

So the next time you're wondering why things are getting difficult, just think about it like this. You wouldn't do something that was tough from the start if it didn't mean anything to you. Now, since it means something to you, there must some or other motivating factor towards it too. Which is to basically say that there's got to be a certain goal you want to achieve at the end of the task's completion. So, that brings us back to the selfish motto. And the worthy factor. You will thus, decide what is worthy for you. What is it that you're ready to make sacrifices for. And by sacrifice, I mean not asking every step of the way "What do I get in return?". Champions don't look for smaller trophies, my friend. Their eyes are fixed on the one that eludes all. Because the other, smaller victories, while helpful & motivating, compare to nothing when you finally get the one no one else could.

All this is to say that, if nothing is going your way, Create the god damn way.

Winners create. Everyone else, procrastinates.
