#137 Until here and no further

ByLukas February 1, 2023March 29, 2023

I’ll never believe I can write until I allow myself to write.

I’ll never believe I can grow my body stronger until I allow myself to do do something consistently to grow my body stronger.

I’ll never believe I can mend a mistreated mind until I allow my mind to be mended.

I’ll never believe I can heal a broken heart until I allow myself to start loving again.

You don’t start doing something because you believe you can do it.

You do it because you find leverage to allow yourself to do it, even if it feels outside your comfort zone.

Until here, and no further.

#172 The pursuit of failure
ByLukas March 8, 2023March 29, 2023
I can’t just say, “today, I’m going to be excellent at writing.”
Excellence is an outcome: a result of focused daily actions.
And one of the fastest ways to excellence is the pursuit of failure.
Not just making accidental mistakes but actively seeking them out.
Did I write nonsense today? Did I understand why I was writing nonsense? Have I learned something from writing that nonsense that will help me write something less nonsensical tomorrow?
The pursuit of failure is painful, especially for perfectionists like me.
But once ego, perfectionism, and the fear of failure make way for a commitment to the process, there’s much to learn from daily mistakes.

#211 If you can do that, you can also do this
ByLukas April 16, 2023April 15, 2023
No one is bad at sticking to habits.
Because everyone’s day-to-day life is stitched together with recurring activities anyway, whether you consciously choose to do them or not.
Maybe you brush your teeth every day – and that has become a non-negotiable.
Maybe you wash your hands before every meal – and that has become a non-negotiable.
Maybe you shower every morning right after waking up – and that has become a non-negotiable.
Maybe you write every day – and that has become a non-negotiable.
Maybe you practice yoga three times a week – and that has become a non-negotiable.
Maybe you spend 10 minutes daily catching up with family, friends, acquaintances, or relatives you haven’t seen in a while – and that has become a non-negotiable.
Habits are habits.
And that has an interesting consequence:
If you can do that, you can also do this.

ByLukas November 27, 2023November 27, 2023
Maybe you feel like you’re going off-track once in a while.
Maybe going off-track is how you build your own track.
Maybe your own track doesn’t always have to go straight.
Maybe you’re the only one using your track.
And maybe that’s fine.
