Day 1: This is what we do now

So I woke up very early today, well not very early at 5 actually. As usual when I was waking up my body was rejecting to get off bed. I mean we all know the feeling right? Then I said to myself or my brain, my soul I'm not even sure but it's the 6 words that allowed me to get off bed and start writing this piece at 5:42am. "This is what we do now", that's all I said and I woke up. I must say though it was very tough, a battle in the mind really.

I sat at the edge of my bed for a moment, letting the weight of those six words settle in. This is what we do now. Simple, but heavy. It’s like my body still wanted to negotiate, asking for five more minutes, but my mind was already in motion, like a stubborn coach pushing me to lace up my sneakers and hit the track.

You know, it’s funny how the hardest part of the day is often just that first step. Not the meetings, not the tasks, not even the unexpected challenges no, just peeling yourself off that warm, comfy mattress and deciding, Alright, let’s do this.

But here’s the thing: I’ve learned that the small victories are what set the tone. Getting out of bed when you don’t feel like it? That’s a win. I didn’t roll over, I didn’t scroll endlessly on my phone. I made a decision, and I moved.

By the time I got to my desk, the resistance started to fade. The battle wasn’t as loud anymore. I opened my macbook, stretched my fingers, and let the words start to flow. One thought after another, like they’d been patiently waiting in line for me to wake up and pay attention.

That’s the magic of showing up, isn’t it? The moment you take action, even the smallest one, you’re telling the universe, I’m here, I’m ready. And when you do that, things start to fall into place.

Now, don’t get me wrong alright it’s not like I’m suddenly bursting with endless energy. The coffee is still brewing, and I know I’ll need it. But there’s something deeply satisfying about beating that little voice in your head that whispers, Stay in bed, it’s warm here.

So, here I am. Up, writing, and fully committed to making this day count. Let’s see what kind of magic we can create today. After all, this is what we do now.

DISCLAIMER: THERE ISN'T ANYTHING MUCH WRITTEN IN THIS THAT YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW. INSTEAD OF WASTING THE NEXT 15 MINS OF YOUR LIFE, JUST GO ON WITH IT. WELL IN CASE YOU WANT TO WASTE IT ANYWAY, DO NOT READ ANYTHING IN BRACKETS OR IN RED TEXT, THAT'S A BIT OUT OF CONTEXT USUALLY MY MIND OFF RAMPING. IT WILL SAVE YOU SOME TIME TO DO MORE IMPORTANT THINGS. (SOMETIMES IT'S GENUINE LINKS TO ARTICLES WITH MORE INFO SO READ AND CLICK IT). Imagine this: You have a chessboard in front of you. It's a standard board, 8x8 squares, 64 in total. Now, you decide to play a little game. On the first square, you place one grain of rice. On the second square, you double it and place two grains. On the third square, you double it again, placing four grains, and so on. At first, it seems like nothing impressive.  By the 10th square, you've got like what 512 grains? Meh...still manageable. By the 20th square? You're at 524,288 grains, okay...And by the time you hit the 64th squa...

Where life feels…well, kinda blah. Like a long, beige (beige is a cool colour though, maybe let's use grey) carpet stretching out endlessly in front of you. You know the feeling: that nagging sense that you're meant for more, but you're just spinning your wheels. Well that's exactly how I feel right now, it's 05:13 I've been trying to get this blog together since 03:30, I have been drafting and redrafting I'm not really getting the hang of it so I will ju...

Day 29: You are not a Victim

DISCLAIMER: THERE ISN'T ANYTHING MUCH WRITTEN IN THIS THAT YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW. INSTEAD OF WASTING THE NEXT 15 MINS OF YOUR LIFE, JUST GO ON WITH IT. WELL IN CASE YOU WANT TO WASTE IT ANYWAY, DO NOT READ ANYTHING IN BRACKETS OR IN RED TEXT, THAT'S A BIT OUT OF CONTEXT USUALLY MY MIND OFF RAMPING. IT WILL SAVE YOU SOME TIME TO DO MORE IMPORTANT THINGS. (SOMETIMES IT'S GENUINE LINKS TO ARTICLES WITH MORE INFO SO READ AND CLICK IT).   Alright, let’s talk. Have you ever felt like life has some personal vendetta against you? Like maybe you wake up feeling motivated for once, ready to conquer the world, and then, boom! your phone dies, your car won’t start, and your mom decides today is the perfect day to remind you that you’re wasting your potential? Suddenly, you're convinced that the universe is just a big bully and you’re the helpless kid it keeps pushing into the mud. Well… I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you are not the victim. I know, I know. It ...
