Keep Going Anyways…
‘Once you start it you gotta finish it’
‘If you say it you gotta do it’
What I really mean is you don’t want to wait around for someone to tell you hey you gotta get it done. You just keep chiseling away at it every day. It's great to have the bar set for what you want to accomplish with it everyday but the important this is that you show up. Some days you will blow past your daily quota and other days its a struggle just to start or just to show up. That's the day you go and do it anyway. You do it anyways long after the emotion is gone. Because it's your discipline. You don’t have to wait until the time is just right. Make it now. Now when you are thinking about it is when you should get at it because you know if you don’t you’ll be thinking about it for the rest of the day.
When writing some ideas or articles, I like to have some slow quiet music playing in the background. Usually with my earphones. It really puts me in the zone. In the flow, is the best way to describe it.
I ignore all emails and texts or phone calls for that period of time. Nothing can interrupt until it is done. Its a real timeless state of mind
to be in but it's the best for creating. Things and ideas pop into my mind that I forgot I even knew or an idea to solve a challenge I have been thinking of. It's the part of the day where I own the moment the most. Then when I’m done, I can look back and know I created something today.
So what puts you in that state? What gets you totally in the creative zone where you can totally exploit your genius and talent?
Running, Working out at the Gym. Yoga. Martial Arts. Walking through nature, Meditating?
It could be a project you are working on. Maybe its a certain amount of production you want to attain. Or you are working on creating the next level of income to reach your personal best. Creating your next piece of Art by sculpting or painting. Inventing something that no one else has been able to do. Or maybe that time is spent carving out your next career move.
For ideas and thoughts to really germinate it's important to come back to them on a regular basis and see what they look like now compared to how they originally looked when you wrote them down.
Sometimes it can be very revealing. Other times an idea just gets discarded. The important thing is to capture those ideas as you move along. It could turn into something that has been on your mind for a long time.
That's why with the project you are working on, its important to keep going anyways. Keep adding to it everyday. Everyday. Everyday.
Ten minutes here and sixty minutes there over a few months time can really create a lot. You can even amaze yourself.
The other concept is when you get into this creative zone and in the flow your subconscious wakes up and goes to work for you. Challenges you have been working on suddenly unfold in your mind with answers you have been seeking. Ideas that you had come back right out of nowhere and expanded in your mind with extensions of your original thinking.
You must persist and keep going anyways. Sometimes even when it hurts. You can be so pissed off and disappointed with yourself or things around you but you have to be kind to yourself and give yourself permission to stay into your life’s business but also to walk away for a day and then come back and see what it looks like.
Just recently I had some work to do on my website. Now to be real about it, I am just not a techie kind of guy. When it comes to computer stuff I have to work at it a little harder to get my answers. I originally was going to have a professional work on it, but this time I decided I’ll make some time and see what can be created here. I kept coming back to it day after day and some days get would get really stuck with it.
It just seemed I could not get past a certain point. Then I would throw my hands up and say that's it! I’m done!! Then after leaving it for a couple days and then start thinking okay, maybe I will take another look at it. Next thing you know, I would open the tool box back up and it all comes together like I was the master builder lol. I didn’t solve all the things I was working on with it, however I sure made an amazing dent in making it work.
So, that's why I say ‘Keep Going’ on whatever it is you are working on, building, creating, constructing, painting, writing, searching for, climbing to and everything else that you get to use your creative talents to work on. It's not that we can’t complete something. I mean we can figure it out. We can talk to someone who knows about it. We can search for it on google and keep changing the question until we find what we are seeking. We can persist and keep going until our own mind finds the answer for us. The answer could be tomorrow morning or it could be later. But if you persist and keep going you will find it or it will find you.
