Should you do it just because you must, or should there be other reasons to push you to action? That’s the question as I wrestle with putting fingers to the keyboard.
Of course, one can wait for inspiration, but writing is also thinking. So if writing is thinking, it can never be a mindless rant.
So ends my rant.
Sometimes, it’ll happen that you miss a few sessions of the important work we ought to do. Maybe there was no legitimate reason to miss those sessions, but we did.
The best thing to do, is to pitch up for the next session and do the work. Then, in time, we can make real progress.
As in sports, in many aspects of life, results matter. It goes beyond having a good game, and is measured on the outcomes.
Given the importance of outcomes in situations where they matter, it is probably worthwhile to work towards that goal. And if that means that the goal should be defined, then our first work is probably that.
In sports, you ensure that you beat the other side. As you press forward, you make sure that you also protect your back, so the opponent doesn’t score more than you do. The same is true for the results we seek. We have to work on both offense and defense.
Whereas you can train within rules, and master those rules in sports, in life, the advantage is that you can create your own rules, and play to your strengths.
All it might require is focus on what’s key for the goal.
That’s all there is to it. Some days, your best will feel laboured. On other days, it’ll take you miles further. However, all steps count.
They do.
Stolen thoughts on what to do and how:
Do few things, do the right things, do them well.
Sounds easy, but requires being clear on what is important despite all other seemingly important things going on around us.
