Be Happy
Why do so many "creative" people feel that they have to complain about their lot. Come on, guys, we have a great blessing. Enjoy it! I've been visiting various chat rooms and blogs of writers. Bitching and moaning. And themselves down.
I know I do this too. But I am really going to watch it. I could have nothing. I could just have a boring job (well I do) but that could be ALL I have. And I'm lucky I have a boring job. I can focus more energy on my real purpose. Writing, creating, motivating.
I think a lot of what I'm seeing on these blogs and chat rooms are young people. It is hard when you're young to not see very far down the path. You aren't where you want to be and you want to be there NOW. It feels like a waste of time to do the work, to build a base. But it's not.
Even now, I still do this sometimes. I feel like time is passing. My son (who is young) pushes me to move forward, faster than I want. And I can be obstinate.
Look for the balance.
Move at my own pace, but don't resist just because someone else is pushing.
Don't resist. Don't pull
