Hi there π,
Today's blog wont be that long, I just want to share a thought I've been digging a lot lately.
The obstacle is the way
This last week has been amazing, I modified my routine to start writing in the morning, finish in the evenings and write longer blogs. It did pay off!
I love having that ritual, 6:10 am I'm already sitting on the couch, still with darkness, all black, only the laptop and me π§‘.
But, as good as it sounds, it came by challenging myself to change my habits and routines. Writing has become so important to me that I start to feel I cannot live without it, its like, OMG, I am becoming what I never thought I was going to become........a creator of content π±.
I put this face π± both as a little joke but also a surprise because for years I always told myself that creating content was very difficult, that content creation is a superpower, and was creating my own limitations on that because I literally was afraid of any of my content was good.
I think the fear or in this case limitation was founded in my bad design skills, mean I put myself to believe that creating content was only about graphical or art designπ¨ , but, creating content comes in infinite forms, in this case, writing is working for me ππ».
What I am feeling is kind of weird actually, because, for years colleagues, family and friends have told me to open a YouTube channel π¬, but I always came with the excuse of......." no, no, no, no, I'm not that good at content creation".
But fucking hell, I am actually good at it, maybe to the best, but fuck it, I am writing at this moment and I feel the best, I feel that Is worth reading it, I feel I am helping others, I feel me, I feel I can do with everything πͺ.
An this is it, what I set my mind as a limitation, as an obstacle, I challenge myself to change my habits and routines, and what I thought was an obstacle, it became the way π§‘π§‘π§‘π§‘π₯°π‘.
If you want to know about The Obstacle is the Way, there is actually a book by Ryan Holiday where he describes how stoics take control of the situations and literally make the obstacles the way. Totally recommended.
I wish you an amazing day.
