Motivation is key

Alright, my very first blog. Honestly, I was very reluctant to do this whole thing in the first place. At that point, I wasn't really sure if my heart was truly on this. In life, there are times when I start at something and really get excited about it. Then over the course of actually doing that certain thing, I get very nonchalant and too carefree that I forget, sometimes on purpose, to finish it. It has been a habit of mine that I've been wanting to purge out of my soul, but never got the motivation to do so.

But then, something magical happened.

Suddenly, I was getting a lot of ideas scrambling and gathering in my head, which, to me, is a very positive thing. This means that the thought of writing makes my mind work. And believe me, it takes a lot of effort and will power to make this head of mind work properly and more efficiently.

For instance, whenever I do chores like cleaning my room or washing the dishes, my brain seems to function in auto-pilot mode, wherein my subconscious is more active compared to my own consciousness. Some people take this as an opportunity to reflect and imagine things which works to their advantage. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Clean dishes. Ideas to consider.

But in my case, it's very unfortunate because nothing is in my head during those auto-pilot sessions. Nothing. Zero. Nada. I just look at an object for five minutes, and before I know it, I'm done with the dishes. There are times when I sort of like this because it makes work seem faster and easier. But then again, when I look at the big picture, it certainly is a disadvantage on my part.

That is why I embraced the idea of writing a blog. It motivated me. I know I still need a lot of improvement at this stage, but as that famous saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day. The first step in every successful plan is a lot of motivation. There are a lot of locked doors on the way; I know that motivation is key.
