I resumed to my (home) office this morning by 5;29AM. I sat down in front of my computer, looked at the scary empty page I had to fill with words and felt like I should do something else.
You know what I'm talking about.
Maybe I should watch a video on YouTube.
Maybe I should check some WhatsApp messages.
Maybe I should.... do something other than something as difficult as writing.
I stood up from my desk, walked around my office a few seconds (looking for a legitimate excuse not to do the difficult task of writing)
Then, a voice spoke to me (not a voice from God but from within me); "Hey, this is what you've chosen to do with your life. Why are you running away from the pains your journey brings?"
I sat down back and started writing.
Few minutes after I started writing, as always, I felt like I should never stand up from that desk again (It was sweet).
Now listen to this;
Regardless of what you choose to do with your life, there will be daily pains and temptation to avoid those pains.
Most people give in to the temptation and look for something EASY to do.
The problem with easy things is that everyone can do them.
As a matter of law, the market doesn't reward anything that everyone can do.
Don't do the easy things; do the needful.
Don't run away from pains.
Dare the real things, even if it's difficult.
That pain is your DESTINY
Michael Jackson wore socks all his public life because his feets had become deformed due to daily, painful dance practice.
But he accepted those daily pains as his destiny and that is why he became one of the most successful musicians in the world.
As a writer, empty MS word scares me like the devil.
Whenever I sit down at my desk, I'm scared that I'll have to fill those empty pages with (meaningful words) yet, I face those fear 5-6 days every week because I've accepted those daily pains as part of my destiny.
Identify the pains that your dream requires and embrace it as your destiny.
Go through those pains every day and that's why the world would recognize you soon.
