I haven’t been writing lately. I could come up with a mountain of excuses. But the truth is that I’ve been lazy—prioritizing other things. I tried to push it out of my mind and rationalize it; No one cares if I stop. I’ll write tomorrow. I have nothing to say this week.
Matt, I'm glad you're back writing I enjoy your thoughts and insights. I appreciate your comments about rationalization and procrastination it's part of my daily routine. It's easy to think that it doesn't matter or it's unimportant, or too hard... But if it matters to you than it's worth doing.
The comments about the middle stage after the beginning of whatever, be it a loss of someone, a goal, or whatever is so true. It's easy to get lost in the middle without constant support, encouragement, commitment, and effort. That's why we need each other and the constant reminder we're not alone in the battle.
The last section about comparison and social media reminds me of a quote from Theodore Roosevelt
"Comparison is the thief of joy"
Keep writing I enjoy your insights and I'll remember to keep pushing through the middle parts.
Great words, as always. I’m glad you are back writing. I’ve read every piece you’ve written and there are always pearls of wisdom that I gain. Thanks for not listening to the voices in your head!
Good for you for getting back on the horse! Thanks for sharing what you've been learning this year. There are some good lessons and reminders in here for all of us. My favorite is the quote from Naval.
