Last night falling asleep while contemplating life I thought ‘I need to write a blog by the end of this week and publish it on Monday’


When I started my online blog I promised myself I will post every Monday. I was determined to be dedicated – for the first time I actually STARTED doing something I LOVE fully trusting myself that I CAN. I found MY THING, MY PASSION whatever we call it that we’re looking for to accomplish us and let us BE HAPPY with who we are and what we do.


After the second blog I haven’t published one in 2 weeks. I was on holiday.


Dumb excuse, I know. I thought I may write one on the beach… sure.


So now I definitely need to write it, edit it and get it all ready for Monday.


During the day I was thinking about topics. I glanced through the screenshots on my phone (I always screenshot quotes that inspire me to think deeper because I read most books on iBooks … I was born in ’95, don’t judge me). I saved a few in my notes. Nothing gave me butterflies though. I hoped I’ll get it on the train home.


Well I didn’t. Neither on the train, nor at home. I didn’t have my muse. It wasn’t gonna happen today.


Bed time.

Voice 1: ‘Maybe I should do it monthly. Weekly is too much. I am too tired and too busy, and back to uni in a month… I can’t cope

Yes. Definitely I can’t cope.’

Voice 2: ‘But wait! Wasn’t that ‘’the first time I actually STARTED doing something I LOVE fully trusting myself that I CAN. I found MY THING, MY PASSION’’?!

What happened to my PROMISE? Is that gonna be the next thing I got excited about but never accomplished.

Am I gonna fail?

No! I will do this. I will write this blog tomorrow!’


End of story. Actually …


Voice 3: ‘Are you f serious? TOMORROW?’
Voice 1: ‘But I just got comfy in bed and I am falling asleep… and it’s late and I need to wake up at 5am!’
Voice 3: ‘Ok. I, Maria, am giving up.’

I am writing this right here right now.


Voice 3: ‘Well done girl. You passed the test.’

Voice 3 or Gary Vaynerchuk’s talks that I watch too often – I don’t know. But they are the good ones! They won’t lie to you that you can stay comfortable and progress at the same time.


Postponing action that’s likely to get you closer to your goal, especially when knowing WHAT you need to do (even if you don’t know how) is a self-disloyalty.


‘Most situations are simple, many are just emotionally difficult to act upon.’Tim Ferris.

And that’s all because we are comfortable where we are. Not happy – comfortable.


If you get really excited about something, do it now! The longer you wait the more the emotional rush will slow down. Then you will either give up on it or perform worse. Hurry before you lose motion.


Voice 1: If I take action it may go wrong
Voice 2: Maybe if I do it later I would have thought about it more and eliminate the possibility of failure.
Voice 3: I want to do this. I can do this. I am doing it.

Voice 1 is the lazy bastard that wants to stay in bed until late and order take aways all the time. He doesn’t care about your progress and goal achievement. He is fine as long as here and now he’s comfy.


Voice 2 is a good guy but he’s a liar. He doesn’t want to disappoint you so he’ll give you a white lie. He believes in his words, but at the same time knows the truth. He’s even more dangerous than the first one.


Voice 3 is the hero. He is proud, he is determined, he doesn’t take shit. He knows you best and he’s the one that wants the best for you.


Be careful who you trust!

I’m on a mission to study myself and the discoveries I make are fascinating. Finding those guys in my head and being able to analyse and control them is MIND BLOWING (no worries no one is hurt, they are still there)


All I’m trying to say through this post is – Get up and do it! Find out your voice and stay true to it.


Agrhhh… I’m just so buzzing to take the lead on my life and my mind especially, that I need to share some with you, it’s too much to handle


Thank you for getting to the end! That was a long one…


Love,

Maria
