Life is a wonderful thing. Staying alive is a big blessing. As long as we live, there's always a chance to have better things in life. As long as there is life, there is a way out of any problem.
But life can be cruel at times. It can leave us alone in the middle of nowhere. It can stop us from doing the things we so wish to do. It can hold our potential back. We may fall victim to its incredible ability to give us surprises; good or bad.
Good thing is that I played my favorite sport, football, and I'm wearing my favorite Pakistan Olympics team upper.
Focus and a distraction free mind is more important than ability. Ability to do something can be utilized only when there is enough focus and little distraction. Otherwise, all the ability becomes useless.
And that is what happened to me today. I love Steemit and I love to create posts regularly. I have ideas in my mind about the topic of my next post and I had all the time to create and publish it today. But I didn't. I couldn't. I wanted to but I wasn't able to. I even opened my notebook and started writing. But it didn't lead to any success.
Then I tried another post; a post about the most amazing Steemians I was able to find through a recent community experiment. I wanted to acknowledge all those amazing people who have left an impact on the community.
Hardly 15 % of the post was done when I left it because I couldn't go one. Even this paragraph I am resuming after one hour. I don't want to go into details of what's happening but there's no focus today. I am generally active on Steemit, reading others' posts and leaving comments there.
I do create and publish posts regularly and it is an important part of my routine now. Besides being active here on this amazing platform, it gives me a window of creativity. Knitting words together to publish something that makes some sense is pure love.
I wish to be able to be creative. I wish to stay focused. I do not want life to interrupt my intellectual pursuits. Talking about intellectual pursuits, I hard read any pages of the book I have to finish as soon as possible. As much as I want to open up about the things which have been disturbing me for life, I prefer to focus on what loss they are causing so that I can prevent that loss.
- Have you felt unable to do what you want to do?
- What caused it?
- How did you fight it?
- Did you win the fight?
